    Snorkel Install. Am I being ripped off?

    You're not being ripped off unless you pay it and even then, if you agree to it, is it a "rip-off"? With that said, $500 is too much. I would expect $100-250 max. In addition to xlnt advice already given, I would suggest the following: 1) Posting for help on a local hummer club forum if one...

    Amazon rescuers find ravine crash couple in MB Unimog

    Glad they are ok. I wonder how many would consider the locals who lost their bridge to be victims?

    Beautiful truck - looks well-maintined. I like the stock wheel/tires. How many miles?

    Ideal expedition vehicle for a trip to South America

    Just throwing this out there - if you do not plan to do any/much off-road, you may want to consider opening up your options to 2wd vehicles with locker in rear diff and possibly adding a winch. Trust me, as the owner of multiple 4wd vehicles with lifts, large tires, lockers, winches, off-road...

    2003 Honda xr650L Any Recommended Mods?

    akblack, Good choice. I have a 2007 and for a simple dual-sport, you can't go wrong. We also use ours when camping to go places the truck won't go and have no problem 2-upping on most trails - the wife is fearless. Likewise, being street legal allows us to get to and from trails and travel...

    Let me see your "expedition" F250!

    Thanks rovertrader. I am familiar with GSA's - I went through 3 sets of 33x12.50x15 on my Jeep Wrangler. Not a great off-road tire but when you are 90/10 on/off, a very good compromise. Those and the GY MTR's currently on the Jeep are the only GY's I have been pleased with. I have stayed...

    Mo miles, mo problems?

    RU55ELL, I believe most mfg's make a decent product and I would lean more towards vehicles that have been well maintained, reasonably driven and look more at condition than mileage...even if you are going to beat it. My .02 and experience. 1995 F350 CC 7.3PSD - 250k miles - no mods -...

    Let me see your "expedition" F250!

    Don't want to hijack the thread but @rovertrader. Those appear to be stock wheels (possibly mistaken) with the 37's - how's the wear pattern? I have a 04 F250 KR CC diesel - plan to do small lift and considering 325/65/18's (35x12.50x18) on the stock 18x8 wheels and not sure if I truly need...
