    Full Size (LARGE) Family Adventure Rig - Selection Question

    I am in the same boat as you when it comes to kids. Right now we have a Sequoia which is ok but has no room behind the last row of seats for much. On longer trips I have a tent trailer or hitch mounted cargo carrier. The upside is its alot easier in town for parking and stuff. I have owned a...

    your thoughts on the AMC Eagle

    I owned a 83 Eagle SX4 for a while, had a 6 with 5 speed. All black with rear window louvers etc. It was a sweet ride, still miss it. If I hadn't of wrecked it I would have put the Mopar fuel injection on it to take care of all the vacuum lines and emissions crap. They are fun little cars.

    OBD Scanner for Trail Kit

    I take my snap-on modis when I am taking a long trip with my computer controlled vehicle. It gives me data for different vehicle modules, codes with descriptions, and a trouble shooting section, along with much much more. Its overkill for most people. Get something that gives codes with a...

    California State Park Closures

    Interesting, I have been to a few of the parks listed for closure in the northern part of the state. I know last time they talked about closing some of the redwood parks up here the feds got involved and said if CA did close parks that were given to the state by the feds then the feds would...

    Another "which wheel is this" question

    If the tires say 16.5 then the rim is too. The 16.5 rim and tires seem to be going the way of the dinosaur. Hit up some of your local tire stores and see if they have any laying around, junkyards are another good place, and so is craigslist. Good luck in your hunt. You can go with a skinnier...

    Jumping Jack Trailer Destroyed...

    Wonder if she is still the new girl friend and not the ex now.:) I remember when I was young and dumb and did stupid stuff to impress the ladies. Luckily I never did anything quite that stupid or I should say but for the grace of god I never did anything that stupid.:bike_rider: At least no...

    1993 Diesel 4runner in Calif. Elocker'd.

    Don't forget the fees CA charges for a 3/4 ton without a shell versus a 1/2 ton with a shell. Unless you are moving a lot of weight every day a 1/2 ton and a good trailer for those once in while heavy days will be cheaper in the long run than a 3/4 ton. That is a sweet 4-runner, you did a...

    SOLD: '84 Chevy CUCV M1010 4x4 Ambulance For Sale

    Hmm that explanation to the wife won't work either as I am over quota on box trucks too, I own two of them. Actually box vans but my wife fails to see the nuances between the two. I have actually tried the argument about shoes/women and trucks/guy with my wife and the result was kind of like...

    Uh-oh, if the better half is getting involved in selling it you know there are too many vehicles.:) Darn it anyway, I am over my quota on ambulances or else this would be mine. I can give you directions to my place for parking, you will get to see the redwoods when you deliver it.:elkgrin:

    What is a good Jeep Forum?

    Look at some of the RV forums if you have questions about flat towing your Jeep behind an RV. I would also go by your local RV shop and see what they recommend. If this is your first Jeep then I would probably look real hard at a Wrangler YJ that has fuel injection. They are much easier as...

    What rims are these?

    Those rims can be hard to find because not too many trucks came with them. I don't know of any off the shelf rims anymore for that pattern.

    SOLD: '84 Chevy CUCV M1010 4x4 Ambulance For Sale

    At least you could sleep in the ambulance.:bike_rider: I don't think it counts as getting rid of a vehicle if you sell it to your dad. He is just renting it from you for a time. Of course to your wife it counts and thats what matters. I would be tempted on your ambulance but I am in kind of...
