They're checking the underside to see if it's male or female. Can only keep males over 5-3/4"

I'll give it a try - read through questions and comments below. Thank you so much for this video!

Sorry I don’t have any footage of that. The windows have held up for 2 winters though! No fog between the panes

@@josiahlau264 When the window opens to 90 degrees, do they pop out (slip in/out) then? Or do they slide to the right or left when horizontal? You are the first one that I've found that has addressed this - so we are very thankful! While further searching, I'll see if I can contact someone at the window mfg (se-gi in our case). Safe and fun travels!

@@WhatMeeWorrry there is a foam strip that sits in the hinge. I think this keeps everything from popping out.

Thanks! Cheesy poetry is my specialty 😂

I do have some bike spokes around too though...

i have also the same problem.

I agree totally. The country is rotting from the inside out... and more government is not the solution! Thanks for the thoughts!

@@oldnewadventures I also think that putting a semi-permanent weighted spiked barrier under a parked RV, one which would be immoveable by thieves, is possible. Set it in place, then driving up into a position guarding the converter. Add a long-finned guard around the clamp area, to foil/break the reciprocating blade of a sawz-all. If government wants to "get-real" then we should be able to have a national alarm network to annunciate the approach of thieves under vehicles. Banks wouldn't put up with such laxity. They sometimes only give up a couple of grand per incident. Perspective! Thieves work by volume, like anybody else. Sooner or later, they'll ALL get caught in their multiple nocturnal adventures. I don't have any sympathy for thieves. This isn't Les Miserable! Winking at crime is participating in it.

@@oldnewadventures btw, thanks for the article. I'm not upset with you, by any means. ALL governments seem to have inertia to help the public. The personal financial losses are staggering!

depending on the model, there is no rear door sensor. My MFC-9340cdw has none, since this is how card stock and envelopes are ejected - straight out the back. One must not forget to move the grey levers to adjust the fuser for paper thickness. A, B or C.

I removed the round sealing foam. I could not get it back in with that in place. Then I used a knife and gently inserted it back between the window panes afterwards. Is a pain.

Thanks! I have been contemplating a 2" body lift with 30" tires. Any thoughts on the best wheel offset to avoid rubbing?

@oldnewadventures I run a 245/75R-16 on a 16x8 wheel with zero offset. I had to do a minor amount of trimming the pinch welds and hammering back the "mud flap" portion of the firewall on the front wheel wells. When I say minor I'm talking 1/2- 3/4 inches. If you're running a stock bumper you'll be trimming a bit of plastic too... but thats easy peasy. The 245/75R-16 is essentially 30 1/2" by 9 inches wide tire. On a stock rim I got very little clearance for steering before the inner sidewall was rubbing on the subframe... the zero offset wheels made all the difference. Now I don't rub until I have the wheel cranked full stop... and even that is minor and rubs the "tread" portion of the tire and always at low speed so it's not a big deal. I did run into trouble in the rear wheel wells though. When we got into "full stuff" situations where the axle was at full articulation... I was getting some tire shredding rub on the front of the fender on the wheel well. It only did this when the van was fully loaded with gear and we were literally at weight capacity (or slightly more) I just installed some XHD 2100lb capacity Leaf Springs and that 100% cured the problem. (I'll be releasing a build video on this later today in fact)

Cool thanks! I'll definitely check out your new vid!

Ironically, we listened to a book called Gregor the Overlander while overlanding lol

I haven't had any issues with my roofbox. I just put regular camping stuff in it like chairs, tent, tools, maybe about 100lbs worth + the weight of the box. My van didn't originally come with the roof rack, so I can't speak to the factory install. I pulled mine from an old astro in the junk yard and installed it myself with rivnuts into the roof sheet metal. I also have two extra cross bars (4 total) for tying on two kid's kayaks and it feels pretty sturdy. I wouldn't put a bit rooftop tent on it though :)
