    Stealth Camper Van - $9,999

    1. In which country was the famous early human Australopithecus by the name of "Lucy" found in? "I Love Lucy" so obviously Puerto Rico. 2. Name the bird-like dinosaurs that is transitional between non-avian feathered dinosaurs and modern birds. Ducks 3. And lastly, what is the speed of light...

    2000 Suburban K1500 budget low lift with 37"s

    That sure looks like a piece of history. Can it be safely recovered/preserved?

    Re-gear time need advice

    Off course gears will help a lot. Another cheap way to get a *smidge* power is a tuner (see the link for all the pros by adding one--but you will have to research it further). It can give power, fix your tire ration (which may be part of your problem as the car may not know when to shift) and...

    Tex's 200 Series

    I don't know why they don't. I believe this is the second call out for one here? TTBOMK, there is no additional cost, and probably would get some IH8MUD folks to sign up over here...

    Thank you for the help and Happy New Year! Oh, and shhh--it's going on a 2020 Ford Expedition FX4 with a 1.5 inch Bilstein lift all-around (for now) LOL.

    Looking For 33 x 18 inch AT Tires That Weigh Less Than 50 lbs...

    Thanks RRUFF, I will look into both heavily. Was still hoping for a D/standard rating for ride, but will investigate these two further.

    Looking For 33 x 18 inch AT Tires That Weigh Less Than 50 lbs...

    Thank you for the suggestion, but realistically, it makes no difference what vehicle it is being put on and I just did not want folks to focus on the "rig" and give their opinions on the "rig" (which happens, causing threads to sometimes go awry).

    Making a B+ or C Class more capable.

    I will stand by my statement for any RV as well. If you want to discuss this further, PM me as I don't want this to become a private conversation on another members post.

    Making a B+ or C Class more capable.

    Again, not seen that in my experience, nor any of my friends/forum members. I have done extensive mileage recordings on my current ride (which is very aerodynamic for a fullsized SUV), and about to add a mild (1.5 inch lift), and +1 to +2 (33-34 inch) and +1 wider tires. I might pull the...

    Making a B+ or C Class more capable.

    Unfortunately, mine/yours/everyone else's fuel gauge would like a word with you. While every vehicle is different, taller (and of course wider) tires generally have a wider contact patch and raising a vehicle increases its CD (generally, of course). And while it is nice you like to point out...

    Looking For 33 x 18 inch AT Tires That Weigh Less Than 50 lbs...

    Weight has an effect on everything from braking to part/suspension wear to fuel economy blah-blah. I don't want the weight x4 x4 and I am not crushing rocks with these. Factory tires are rated 2750 +/- lbs each so don't need Es. I have been looking and it has been quite a chore as most are...

    Looking For 33 x 18 inch AT Tires That Weigh Less Than 50 lbs...

    I have seen ATs 34.3 weighing 50 lbs--just a bit too tall. I think I have found a couple of 55 pounders, but my factory Mich Primacy 32.2 is 40 lbs, and just did not want to take more than a 10lb hit... The Pats I saw in 18 inch rim weighed 60 lbs...

    Looking For 33 x 18 inch AT Tires That Weigh Less Than 50 lbs...

    Looking For light truck tire 33 x 18 inch AT Tires That Weigh Less Than 50 lbs. Anything between 33.0-33.9 and between 11-12 inches wide. I have been looking but can't seem to find a good combo that also looks pretty good (I do like the look of an aggressive tire) and DO NOT want a highway...

    I need some cheap recovery boards for snow and mud... Any suggestions?

    They look to be a little too short length, width and thickness :censored: Again, they are better than nothing, but I'd feel better with another near to a/full foot longer on each and wider for sure... YMMV

    I need some cheap recovery boards for snow and mud... Any suggestions?

    In my experience, 4 Wheeling is exactly like a gunfight. It helps to have friends with the right kit who know what they are doing... (y)

    I need some cheap recovery boards for snow and mud... Any suggestions?

    (Full disclosure--don't own them and have never used as of yet, but researched them a lot) I think one of the advantages for the "cheapies" is you can buy two sets of two (total 4) like RNARMY for the price of one set (2) of MaxTs. And with that, I would sharpie mark each one with a hash...

    I need some cheap recovery boards for snow and mud... Any suggestions?

    SerenityNow, I believe the cheap ones will help get you out of a couple traction jams. I would just buy a pair of the cheap ones, use them as needed--for traction--not bridging something. Even if cracked, they should still provide useful traction, most certainly to sustain the trip? And the...

    An ECOBOOST Family Overland F-150 FX4

    Nice ride, and can appreciate your situation. From the pic, it appears you have 1 inch of room F150 roof bars to door strike? But for future mods, a 1-inch taller tire will net only 1/2 inch raise in overall ride height (front & rear), and Bilstein makes pre-install adjustable F150 5100...
