    1989 Jeep Grand Wagoneer $42k

    Sweet! To build out? This one would do well on the car show circuit as is. Almost a shame to dig into something so original with no rust

    Why don't we see more Ford Ranger builds

    While I like the idea of the new Bronco, theres a reason the first Blazer was but of the C/K platform, and why Bronco followed suit putting the Bronco on the F150 platform back in '78. I was really hoping both Chevy and Ford would do the same in these most recent iterations of Blazer and Bronco...

    Not a Dodge fan, but that's the way to do it. And I even like the color

    Camper Shell Track Help

    Didnt see this when it first went up but the old Cap Rac (by Trac Rac. Now owned by Thule) would do this. The bars are rated for 800 lbs, much more than the roof could withstand. And there is no track, just hinged adjustable feet. Nice work with this one! Looks great. Here's mine. My Leer...

    NOAA Alert Radio

    Been hearing about C Crane since before Y2K and love the idea. Just have never gotten around to getting one. Maybe this year

    NOAA Alert Radio

    If you have a dual/isolating battery system in your truck you can tie a vehicle CB with weather to the house batt and just power it off. That should only wake you, making you s h ! T your pants during the NWS alerts. Not sure if some GMRS can be programmed for specific types of alerts... Or...

    Help me pick a new truck...

    Swapped out myGMC k 1500's trans with a special built one after the original konked out at 125k. The electronics CAN defeat you in these sometimes. But the comfort and versatility they provide is a good trade-off. Shifting in 4x4 on the move is nice. And traveling down the highway at the...

    Help me pick a new truck...

    Suburban and a "double cab" gm truck with 6 and a half foot bed are only 6 inches different in length at most. So, you get more people hauling but less gear hauling. I'm a big big fan of the old K5. And had 2 of the GMT 400 2 door Blazer fullsized. Loved them. Love the idea of factory...

    Help me pick a new truck...

    ... Funny...I thought I read in there somwhere that he planned on gifting the K5 Blazer to me...then I blinked and shook my head a little, and am the sadder for it

    Planning to Camp at Any Federal Recreational Properties? Let the Fun begin!

    Right? And the idea of going cashless in a camo ground...does the money not state that it is to be accepted for all debts, public and private? Oh, but they are cashless now...

    Planning to Camp at Any Federal Recreational Properties? Let the Fun begin!

    I honestly feel like in the 1990's I could drive out of Boston for the Whites of NH and find a decent place just by showing up. Maybe that's just "those were the good old days" glasses?

    Why No Love for the Titan?

    Plus, I really do think people are looking at strong horse/weak horse. The Titan may be a good truck, but Nissans issues as a company have been nagging to punching for several years now and there are so many other good choices, why pick the one that appears to be circling the drain? This...

    GMT800 People - Opinions wanted on upgrades/mods

    In terms of fuel tanks for the GMT 800 Tahoe... My GMT400 full size 2 door Balzer K1500 had a 30 gallon tank, albeit with the spare located inside the rear tailgate in an upright position. If you go with the spare swing out bumper, how hard would it be to get a GMT400 Blazer 30 gallon tank and...
