    C3500 Sierra - SRW conversion. What's needed?

    Close family has a gently used truck that I'm considering. It very well may be given to me for cheap/free. I could leave it as-is, but maintaning 4 tires is much cheaper than six, especially seeing as how I won't be using it to capacity. I'm not 100% clear on why you'd need to do anything to...

    C3500 Sierra - SRW conversion. What's needed?

    What is required to go to a single rear wheel (SRW) on a longbed Dually pickup? I'm assuming the axle is a 14 bolt (Model year 2000 truck) Obviously, one would need to go to a flatbed or SRW specific bed, to eliminate the "dually hips". Is the axle able to accept a 3/4 ton wheel, with a...

    Year in Mexico: Previa vs. Astro?

    I think the Astro is the way to go. Either that or sell it and get yourself an f150/f250 pickup that'll fit your people. Chevy 1500's are also pretty durable.

    got a new trooper

    That's a very nice truck, Zimm. I had an '86 in high school, and was a nice, honest rig. Question: I might have missed the details above...what is the current mileage?

    You are a bad, bad man...hahaha. My dad uses the crap out of his Westy camper for building materials, actually. Alas, the boss (Mrs Bigdaddy) has vetoed vanagons UNLESS they have the pop-top. All others get the nose-wrinkle. :D

    For sale: 2001 Isuzu trooper

    Thanks! It's certainly an on-going conversation that my wife and i are having. It IS a great truck for us, and we're smitten with it, but The 5-speed swap and lift were always on the agenda, but require some serious downtime and coin(at least for us)to accomplish. We'll just see how things...

    Low-Profile Fuel/Jerry Cans?

    Wedco nato-style non-carb cans can lay on their sides with nary a drip. Just need to nestle it in a good mounting solution, and make sure your gasket is fresh. (mine's 8 years old and is still pliable, but my can lives inside most of the time.)
