    what do jeep guys like as a truck?

    This past winter I picked up a 2007 Sierra 2500HD with 55,000 miles for the times that the Jeep wasn't suited. It replaced a 2000 Silverado 1500 that I had for years. The Silverado was a really comfortable and reliable rig. It was a shame my son shortened it about 12" in a rear ender or I'd...

    Looking to lift a 2WD GMT800 Silverado

    Solid choice and seems to better achieve your goals. Too bad though, I was looking forward to following a 2wd build. I will be the first to admit that my transfer case shift knob doesn't have many finger prints on it. For me, 4wd has become more of an insurance policy than a necessity. My...

    Pulling Travel Trailer with a U1350L (U1550)

    I think the major attraction of a high GVW vehicle like Unimog is that it has the capability to carry all desired systems and gear within its own chassis and mitigates the hassle of a trailer. Folks who attend Mog Fest may have seen Mogs trailering but most all Mog photos I drool over are sans...

    Tool Development in Progress

    Oh no, around here we're never mad that someone sells "expensive things", after all, "an items value is what someone is willing to pay for it". . [disclaimer] I am trying to recall the exact line from that early '90s Economics class where it originated, quote may not be exact. . What gets...

    Realistically...how often do you use your hi-lift?

    I've had my Hi-Lift for just over 30 years. I don't use it that much but about half the time I do, there isn't anything I could or would rather use. I really like them and have found several uses on job sites. To answer the question I would say it's closer to invaluable accessory than it is...

    Bit more progress on the Sport's looks... bumpers and flares...

    Excellent testament to the major improvements that can be made with elbow grease and aerosol cans. The front end appearance is the best result of all your areas of effort. Nicely done!

    Overland F-150, Tacoma or?

    You make some very good points and I agree with your reasoning. I also see the truck market passing Toyota. Just two weeks ago I was describing to a friend my impressions after test driving a 2015 Colorado. I was standing in my driveway and he was sitting in the driver's seat of his Tacoma...

    Overland F-150, Tacoma or?

    Interesting thread. The resulting answer to the OP's question was quite overwhelming and decidedly "un-ExPo". If I were placing bets at the beginning of the thread, I'd have said this would be the traditional Expedition Portal Tacoma landslide. Not that I am anti Taco or Toyota but I am glad...

    Rigid Industries :: Torture Test

    That video must have been a huge amount of fun to do. You have found some very creative ways to "test" your product. Out of curiosity, how many of the torture tests were inspired by actual warranty claims? I know customers can be the most creative when it comes to product torture.

    Overland F-150, Tacoma or?

    Resale value for both Tacoma and F150 top the truck market. Both are considered reliable. Parts and service for both are prolific in North America. Tacoma has more aftermarket support for bolt on gizmos and probably an edge in pure Off-road capability. F150 has much greater payload capacity...

    Just purchased a baofeng, do I really need a license?

    Back to the original question, "do I really need a license?"...the laws say Yes. Considering how easy and inexpensive it is to get licensed I don't understand why you wouldn't? As Dave said, the amateur radio hobby is what you make it. I myself am licensed and hardly ever turn a radio on...
