    Here We Go Again…Buy the Hype, Put A Deposit Down, Keep Your Fingers Crossed, and Be Patient

    Watch this thing fly off the shelves and prove to all the car companies that people WILL buy small, economical, crank window vehicles to save a buck, and that bloated, "cant have X without also having Y, Z, A, B , C options as well" are a pain in the wallet, upsells. Granted, the posh vehicles...

    1989 GMC Suburban "Trail Boss" conversion

    Recently re-watched Dante's Peak. Kind of a sucky movie despite James Bond and Sarah Connors being in it, but great trucks in that movie

    1989 GMC Suburban "Trail Boss" conversion

    I thought it was red tow hooks what made a 4x4 run better.

    Delorme Gazetteer Storage?

    Ok. Just checked out Adventure Tool Company website. All made in USA-Coloradi as you say. Pretty good to see. I'm already interested in the canvass atlas case, sticker (for the Leer truck cap of course) and the wool blankets. Wonder who makes those for them.

    Delorme Gazetteer Storage?

    Recently moved production to China and according to an old green beret on reddit, they also changed the formula for the material and it no longer behaves as expected re: grease pencils erasing and such and maybe not as water resistant

    91 GMC Suburban build

    Sure. I enjoy threads like two from @Andrew_S Where he does all the work himself. I dont begrudge a guy with the means to have the right folks do the right job, either. Still a lot to see and find out

    91 GMC Suburban build

    True. And true of many places. I've got a 1.5 hr commute each way and let me tell you, I cherish my weekends. Just last night - yes, it was dark when I was done - my neighbor and I finished installing the brass bushing, steering column, sector gear, drive pulley and mowing deck on my 23 year...

    Sneak Peek….Dodge Mid Sized Pickup Design Leaked!

    Oh, my FAVORITE to hate on is Subaru calling the CrossTrek an SUV. I'm like, no, it's a 4 door hatchback with a lift.

    1998.5 Dodge Ram CTD - Sally

    Lady Beagle would like a hot tub as well. That's a lot of energy, but maybe. If I can convert the back project shed to a sauna. We keep pretty low key as well. A wooded acre, truck, small SUV, Scout the Thunder Beagle. We lost the two Lion-Hearted Yorkies, but I'd like to convince lady...

    Tires Limited Selection?

    While I agree with you, when I say " 22 inch rims are an upgrade", I mean according to manufacturers, dealerships, and societal norms. To none of which do we conform

    Tires Limited Selection?

    "I know a lot of vehicles are going to 17" wheels..." Going? Been and gone. Someone posted that trucks have moved to 18's. That was years ago. 10 years ago 18's were an upgrade, now they seem the norm with 20 and 22 inches being the upgrade Someone mentioned brake size and that's true...

    Is Your GM Truck or SUV “Spying” On You?

    Yep. They all do it and have been for 20+ years, it's just more efficient now and that's scary. Same with your cell phone. This is very interesting because while driving is a "privilege," and happens on public roads, the 4th amendment protects as private all items in the car that are not in...

    Sneak Peek….Dodge Mid Sized Pickup Design Leaked!

    No clear separation between box and cab, so, sorta Meverick-y, Santa Cruz, Ridgeline type of vehicle. That's ok. The original Rampage from the 80's was no HD workhorse but could get a lot of home-grade stuff done. Could be a pretty cool contender. They will need to make it efficient and fun

    NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE

    Im saying this tongue in cheek but...Just put an old Chevy Volt up on top and get an extra 100 miles range. I admit I'm having a hard time with kWh, amps, conversions, etc and seeing that, to my possibly flawed perception, that nearly half that trailer if made up of batteries and battery...

    "Dodge" 2010 Ram 3500 Build

    Not personally a buyer of Dodge/Ram /Stellantis products but one thing that impressed me the last few years was the was a Ram 1500 side view mirrors can just pivot upward on the outer axis and "stand up" to become tow mirrors. That, and tail light sockets themselves being removable at the...

    Not only is she a keeper, but others should seek out her siblings. The world needs more like her, sir

    1998.5 Dodge Ram CTD - Sally

    I dunno. Maybe she deserves that GMT400 if she wants it. I mean, she curled up right on the stack of tires. Diesnt say boo about the other vehicles. If you got it, she could spend a little, ha ha
