Loser 1 & 2 We put the Pry down this summer at 14, the pug still looks for her and sniffs her leash when he goes out. We miss her to. Jim

Not much freeboard so it better be smooth water. Bet it'd work better as a snow saucer. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee:coffeedrink:

When I saw this thread I thought Scott had acquired another toy. Wonderful truck.

Great truck that's cleaning up nicely. One purely extraneous upgrade for later GWs is to go back to the old style grill. All the sheet metal is behind the current one. Jim

I read a bit about this today and the article stated it will use the upcoming Windows 7 OS. A few months ago I read something on Microsoft's netbook strategy, which was to replace XP with a very strangled version of W7. This something I'd confirm before buying as it is quite possible that...

Good old porch and deck enamel is a nice choice. Very durable and easy to reapply when the time comes. Jim

A couple of years ago Land Rover Monthly had a summary of engine conversions for Defenders and others including who made conversion kits for particular engines. Jim

Are you going to pad it? Perhaps some buttons or tuck and roll?

This is the solution, all that's needed is to confirm they have a JK compatible model and put together a group buy. It could be any combination of their products. Enough to fill a 20' container should get the shipping costs down. The POE can be the closest port to the largest concentration of...

Rust is only one concern, many if not most FG's in the snow belt also are used as snow plows and that wrecks havoc on the drive train. Snow plowing is a major use of many 3/4 ton and heavier pick ups also. Jim

Yup, once again the adage about staying above the high tide line when driving on the beach is worth heeding. Jim

I need to agree with Spence. As much as I love Westies and I'm likely to someday surrender to the siren call of one, there are lots of Ford/Chev/Dodge conversion vans and Class B motorhomes that will be cheaper to buy initially and will be more dependable down the road. Now if I was looking...

Wood construction Vic, wood would be fine as a material but how it is assembled and held together is critical. I've perused the the Glen-L plans you mentioned and that construction method would be fine for a pavement only camper but if your considering soft roads a stiffer box is desirable...

I've traveled through moose country on or in almost every motor configuration but a twin and a ten or twelve. The typical reaction of a moose has been to continue doing what ever they were doing. My first inkling that a single was a different beast was in Algonquin Provincial Park when I...

Fiat/Chrysler/Iveco Now that Fiat owns Chrysler, maybe we will get some of the 4x4 Ivecos

Mauricio, its worse than you think. You cannot import a vehicle that is under 25 years old yourself. The importation can only be done by a register importer and outfitter. Plus it the vehicle needs to be on the list of eligible vehicles. http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/CARS/RULES/IMPORT/

I believe the answer lies in the year of manufacture of the chassis and the motor. Jim

KTM - BMW road test Buried on my hard drive is a scan from Bike comparing the KTM 990 Adventure to the BMW Adventure, plus the 1200 GS and the corresponding KTM model. PM me if you're interested and I'll send it along. But it may take a couple of weeks as I'm headed for Cape Breton Wednesday...

At one time mounting the spare on the front bumper was common, glad to see the idea show up again. That accomplishes a couple of things, a heavy object is moved to a 'lighter' area of the truck. Provides the option of 2 spares. Great ideas, thanks Stan

Am I the only person that regrets the demise of hand writing recognition system like those on early Palms? I find the thumb keyboards slower and more difficult to use. Of course I didn't grow up using them. I do like the size of MIDs and considered buying an OQO a couple of times, but the...
