    Or go 10 years "without a scratch". Hell, my '07 Outback has more time off road than than Jeep. The OP needs to get those street tires off and correct that situation!

    25 Military Humvees to be auctioned tomorrow (DEC 17th)

    The seats, even the improved retrofits, suck. The driver's area is cramped. The driver's seat travel/adjustment sucks. The outward visibility sucks. The passenger and rear seating areas suck too. Live out of a turtleback with two other guys for a couple of months and you'll find them to be...

    Wrangler Tire Size - Overland, Trail, and Other

    We're running 33" tires on out JKUS. Why? We have 3.73 gears and we travel a lot of highway between CA, AZ, UT, and CO to get to the places we wheel. The 33" give us the best compromise between on-road/off-road performance within the powerband of our gear-set. The tires are Hankook Dynapro...

    Nissan Xterra Discontinued in U.S.

    I refuse to call that thing a Pathfinder and refer to it as the Maxima Wagon instead.

    Looking for 33s, what are you running?

    Limited sizes, limited to Walmart for a replacement. For the money you'd do better with a Kelly TSR.

    Should I get a Subaru

    Get back to me after you've burned the clutch out towing up a long grade. A manual in a one ton rig is one thing with a trailer, the puny single plate clutch in a Forrester or outback and a 1,000lb trailer is quite another. You'll be towing alright, you and your trailer behind a wrecker, but...

    Should I get a Subaru

    I don't recommend used turbo-charged vehicles. Most are sport versions of whatever model, and have been hooned mercilessly by their prior owners. I'd also recommend against a manual transmission for trailer towing in a light vehicle.

    Looking for 33s, what are you running?

    Your problem is that you are shopping for tires to fit a 15" wheel. Go to 16" or 17" wheel and watch the availability selection expand exponentially.

    Subaru Help

    $1500 for an '82 GL? I'd say it is about $1,000 over priced.

    Goodyear Duratrac

    17" is a very popular wheel size on smaller lighter Jeeps and on larger and heavier pickups, and as you stated, there is a wider variety of sizes to choose from. The difference in exposed sidewall between the two wheel sizes in tire diameters over 32" is hardly worth losing any sleep over. If...

    DEATH VALLEY 2015: Lots of Rocks, Rusty stuff and more rocks.

    We were out there this weekend. One Jeep JKU, two 80s, and a 100. They made me follow behind in the Jeep :drool:. We had a great time with three nights of camping. Did you guys run into an obnoxious park ranger in an unmarked JKU with corner armor too?

    That is a very good looking watch. I like it.

    Military Specification G-Wagen: Videos and Other Details

    Ah, the old CH-53E Super Sea Stallion; what a beast, reminds me of the good old days. We were a split squadron, 12 CH-53D's, the predecessor to the Echos, and 8 UH-1N's. Both are gone from the Fleet now. I crewed Twin-Hueys mostly but jumped aboard a "****ter" from time to time, so named for...

    military water and fuel jugs

    The cap wrench was the first thing I ever bought, after breaker a couple of cheap strap wrenches. The spigot is nice but instead I bought a couple of extra caps and did the pressurized spigot conversions.

    2yr olds and Nikon D90's don't mix

    That sucks. I just bought a gently used D200 body from Adorama for $175.00 delivered to replace a D100 I used for work. You might try there for something. Glad I don't have kids. If that have happened in my house I think there would have been a couple of kids shipped off to military boarding...
