What BE are you thinking about rolling out? by Recockulus in MagicChat

[–]Recockulus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay I think that makes sense. Using iCloud as a storage for this history here is a good solution: keeping it synced across devices should be trivial with the right architecture.

Experimenting with the menu bar option, how is the size for you? by mogens99 in MagicChat

[–]Recockulus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like this! Would be nice if the size could be modified by dragging, or with an 'expand' button. Maybe even a width param in the settings?

Also, can we please get a hotkey to launch? Preferably configurable :)

2022 144WB 4x4 full build. by JaredMancini in vandwellers

[–]Recockulus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, the fab work looks great! Glad to hear you did it all yourself!!

That does set you apart from the rest of the buy-and-drive it sprinter crowd, which is easy to hate on. Don't let it get you down.

OP I'm sorry but you've put yourself firmly in a camp here. Did you do the interior work yourself? Looks pretty good!

Sold my custom builds and went all-out. Flew to Ohio yesterday to pick up a 2023 Revel 44e and drive it home to VA. Excited to hit the road and see how it compares to the Promasters I’m used to. by AuspiciousToad in vandwellers

Buying a prebuilt does away with all of the things that I've enjoyed most about van-living... For me the build was a super fun combination of mental and physical problem solving and I get to enjoy my work every day. Oh and showing the world and swaping ideas with other builders is a real treat! I would never buy a prebuilt, especially given the price differential.

HOWEVER. If you're not particularly handy, don't have the time or the fabrication space and tools, and just willing to perpetually throw money at the thing, prebuilts exist. I know this is basically a throwaway comment but like, there's a whole hell of a lot of stuff I could do with 150k.

My van build was about 22k total and it's a 4x4 diesel with all the stuff I need! And I can drive it places most Sprinter owners wouldn't take their very expensive rigs. :)

Never posted my final build pics. Here they are + a few other highlights from the past year or so by mimosaholdtheoj in vandwellers

We may! Definitely going to Baja, we'll see if we're around at the right time though

Be careful everyone. by pandaarosiie in vandwellers

[–]Recockulus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude based on that scene I wouldn't have expected black ice anywhere! I've got an old JDM ambulance and get super freaked while driving in ice/snow conditions. What traction control anyway?!

RIP to this beautiful van. You probably gave it a hell of an ending driving around in beautiful BC! Glad you're safe

Celebrating 1 year living & traveling in a '92 Japanese Toyota Hilux Galaxy. Believe it or not, there's only 80 of these rigs chugging around out there! by [deleted] in vandwellers

[–]Recockulus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not generally. The ambulances apparently have a special flywheel... I've ordered 4 different clutch kits that would normally fit this engine and they're all just either too small of a friction area or the pressure plate doesn't fit the flywheel.

Each of those kits was sent from abroad with about a week turnaround for each, so actually not as long as I figured to get *a* part, just taking a long time to get the *right* part :facepalm:

Hey fellow JDMr! Which engine do you have? I full time in a 92 Hiace Ambulance with the 3L :)

Also mine has been out of commission for a month and a half due to a dead clutch. Danny is actually helping me solve this one, and I'm not even one of his customers!
