Too small to draw quickly. Finding and gripping it sucked. Effective range of 5 yards. Way too hard and slow to aim. Heavy trigger and lack of grip area for large hands means the sight picture wobbles during the trigger press, and the short sight radius doesn't help here. Even point...

My Ducati will blur your vision if you lug it in too high of a gear. Waaaaaaay oversquare. It smooths out with rpm just fine though. You're going to see oversquare truck and car engines more often now. Thanks to modern transmissions, we don't need stroke to make torque anymore. They...

You're better off with that knife than your Keltec. Had the same pistol. And even a Kahr p380. Same thing but 3 times more expensive. Both proved impractical during advanced training (4). I used to carry them when I don't want to carry. Now I just skip them. If they were heavier...

For me? Heck no. Go 250/2500+ now or regret it later. Can't tell what you're building though, or where you're going. But for me I'd start with a bigger truck. Even if your camper is just 1100#, that's still much easier to haul with a 250. I hated half tons and Tacos with mini...

I think a big gas engine flatbed truck with a box camper on the back would work. A diesel tank could be added under the flatbed to feed the campers heater. Pretty sure a Bundutec Bundutray could be ordered with extra insulation.

Yep, that's it in the top pic.

I'll get pics when it's here thursday or friday. It's a 3500 DRW, Cummins. 10' enclosed bed. 4x4. If the DEF tank can be moved, I'll try it.

That might be an option as well. XL, 7.3/4.30, Fx4.

You should see the Dodge I've got coming. In the pics that I was provided, the DEF tank is 4" off of the ground. Why Dodge copied the worst thing that GM has ever done, is mind boggling to me. I'm considering trading up to a 7.3/4.30 Tremor instead of building my Ford. I think I've got...

Are you actually getting a high trans temp fault alarm?

I think the Bils and Fox are both IFP style. Just not enough room in the shocks.

If your shocks are good and firm. Try some softer springs. Coils are cheap. Not sure if I'd bother with the trucks leaves. Any in line shock is a huge risk of blowing out. Another thread has Bilsteins blowing out everywhere, and Fox's lasting longer. An inline shock has a very small...

The money I saved for the camper, is going to remodel my kitchen and tile my entire 1st floor. So, if I pull the trigger, I'll likely have to visit my bank for a loan. Or wait a few more years.

Yep, it's the FCA way.

I'd pay $40k for a stripped Rubicon. No more. It's still a Jeep. Interior won't fit me, but it's way better than a damn Defender. Roof will pee on me. The axles will look for any excuse to fail. And the engines lack enthusiasm. The 4.0 was fun to drive.

Bummer, I was under the assumption that all JT's had the good axles. Just sans lockers. JT Rubicon, steel bumper, hardtop, headliner, manual, and blinding head on collision causing lights is $48,165 on the online builder. A bit pricey for my taste.

JT sport is $38,200. Fully loaded Rubi is $50k.

Get Vaga's LMTV. or buy an Acela yourself. And add a custom box. If you have time for that.

It is. I just left a steel mill that has hardly ever had enough work for half a day shift. Most work was just maintaining idle furnaces. Now they're running 3 shifts 24/7 and semi trucks are lined up 3 miles down the road. New record for them. I'd like to get a JT now that prices are...
