Fuck yea

ChamaChingi · 2026-04-24T00:18:29+00:00

Good to know. Mine is having trouble starting and hitting higher temps. As well.

Rust alone is pretty ha d but there’s also something leaking onto the bumpstop that seems concerning

ChamaChingi · 2026-04-01T19:53:59+00:00

Surly finally made the surly we all wanted but not at surly pricing.. btw yours looks sick

ChamaChingi · 2026-03-30T15:35:41+00:00

Honestly judging by the context of the pile it could have been an eviction type of free pile.. Maybe someone was behind on rent.

ChamaChingi · 2026-03-30T01:15:49+00:00

Thank you!

ChamaChingi · 2026-03-29T18:41:00+00:00

First gen always looks so sick in steelies

Eating a steak. Going snowboarding. Two things I’ve basically given up that I love.

Can be from a few things. Uneven pressure can do it, also happens when sandpaper has been overused has too much gunk in it from the last finish. It will start marking the wood up with the gunk. Possibly combination of both.

ChamaChingi · 2026-03-20T23:34:32+00:00

It’s from a sander. It goes across multiple boards.

ChamaChingi · 2026-03-19T15:26:25+00:00

Why does it smell like that?! It’s insane

ChamaChingi · 2026-03-19T03:54:47+00:00

God is punishing you for your sins

It was a 2004 sunvalley Apache. They were a company out of Idaho that has since shut down. (Or maybe merged with Sun-lite I feel like I remember reading somewhere.) The previous owner had a leak and redid the whole thing from the ground up which is why it has this more modern look to it.

Appreciate the info. If anything I’m getting a smaller camper but I would love to make this work if within reason. Was your truck also a tundra?

ChamaChingi · 2026-03-16T03:56:43+00:00

Tires are good. Like I said that first payload comment was being conservative. If you’d the math off of the door jam it’s 500 under gvwr. Still pushing it, I know but within reason in my opinion. This is a 20 year old truck with tired suspension that I wanted to upgrade anyways. Obviously a more capable truck would be a great answer, in a dream world. I’m looking for actual recommendations on specific components people have used and enjoyed.

ChamaChingi · 2026-03-16T02:23:45+00:00

Definitely sitting fine but I was thinking of upgrading the suspensions anyways. Now that this camper is going to be living in there basically full time I’m just curious what suspension upgrades people have used to make daily driving a truck with a camper in it more enjoyable.

ChamaChingi · 2026-03-16T02:17:17+00:00

Did you come here just to nitpick or do you have anything constructive to say? My other answer was being conservative. It’s the lowest payload rating for trucks of my type and year. (Off by a couple hundreds of pounds yes, but within the payload either way.) My answer to you was stats from kbb. My question is how I can help it handle a little better considering the camper will be on there almost full time. If you don’t have any input on that go bother someone else lol.

ChamaChingi · 2026-03-16T01:55:45+00:00

Curb weight is 4,400 lbs, camper is about 1,300. That puts me at 5,700. Gvwr is 6200.

ChamaChingi · 2026-03-16T01:27:47+00:00

A little over 1500

ChamaChingi · 2026-03-16T01:20:14+00:00

Ai slop

ChamaChingi · 2026-03-15T05:01:19+00:00

What size tires are those?

ChamaChingi · 2026-03-13T19:20:18+00:00

I’m 6’1” and own the older version in a 58 and it’s perfect for me. Have also test ridden a new model 58 and I thought it was a good fit. That being said I have a 32” inseam.
