    Vehicle Use when Volunteer

    My experience has been that most of this is going to land on you. It is, after all a volunteer thing. The Sar outfit insurance should cover your use of thier equipment, but your personal rig and what not comes out of your pocket most of the time. You can indeed write off miles, and some other...

    F150 vs Tundra....I’ll make a decision tomorrow

    I guess that would be true. Out here, not too hard to find a base model 250, but it seems like the base 150's end up going to fleet sales. I guess it really depends on what the OP is looking for. I would pull the trigger on a regular cab base F250 with the 6.2 in a second but even those have...

    F150 vs Tundra....I’ll make a decision tomorrow

    The Tundra is tried and true. It is thirsty and outdated but if taken care of will go anywhere you need it to and easily hit the same miles your current ford has on it. The 5.7 is bullet proof. The ford 150 is a great truck but you pay for all the bells and whistles, and you get complexity in...

    2013 Tiger Bengal TX 4X4 adventure vehicle IT HAS SOLD

    Great looking rig. I have been keeping my eyes on these for a possible travel nurse base camp. Seems like a killer deal given that a low mile used diesel 4x4 truck is going to run at least 35 or 40 k these days. GLWS for one good looking setup.

    FS: 2015 Mercedes Sprinter 4x4 Camper Van

    Dang... This thing is nice, and I got a good laugh at a few points in the add. Clearly this is a well thought out rig. One that does what it was built for but is simple and not over the top. I think we all sometimes get carried away with our builds or lusting after all of the the goodies that...

    2005 Tundra Regular Cab "Buck"

    That would be slick. I have always thought Toyota was missing out on a lot of bed/ cab set ups. Reg Cab tacoma with an 8 foot bed would be slick, lots of options out there. I really enjoyed the coustom one off rigs from the early 90's or late 80's you would some times see where they had...

    SLC Area Transit 4x4s

    EcoBoost for sure would have been a better option. The inside tech was wicked nice too. The Sprinter is fairly spartan. Either way hopefully the OP finds what he is looking for. I am keeping my eye out on the AWD transit coming out. 4x4 would be nice, but hard to justify for be with already...

    SLC Area Transit 4x4s

    gutless on 12 percent grades when home base is around 5,000 feet. Or when a return from the airport means 100 miles from the city up into the mountains on winding two lanes the whole way. Where the sprinter and former e350's never faltered in these settings the transit was left lacking. Perhaps...

    Load E Tires

    You should look into the Toyo M55. It is a bit of an old school tire. A bit of a cross between the MT and AT. These are a favorite in the shale fields of north utah where the rocks are sharp and the gravel shreds tires. the M55 is often spotted on over loaded oil rig pick ups blasting through...

    SLC Area Transit 4x4s

    Had a top of the line transit as a shuttle rig. less then 50 K on it, endless problems. even with the " bigger" motor it was still fairly gutless. But.... it was smooth, and made little fuss or noise going down the road. We were endlessly tracking down electrical gremlins on it. the whole inside...

    2007 Mitsubishi Fuso 4x4

    It never ceases to amaze me people try and sell an pricy, and custom rig and they only bother putting up one photo and a few lines of type. I wonder if this is one of those " Sorry honey it didn't sell " type of things. I get that CL and many other online forums have lots of scams and what not...

    Tundra vs F150

    I admit to being a toyota fan, having owned 3 of them so far. The tundra 5.7 while a bit slow and outdated is a solid truck. A company I used to work at in north utah had a bunch of them as fleet trucks. Both first gen, and the newer second gen trucks. Those things got beat to piss on the oil...

    Anybody using the Cap-Pack with their truck topper?

    It would seem that this is basically the same thing as the leer product. From what I have been able to find, they made them for Leer. Seems to hold more than enough weight, given that most items would be fairly thing. Looks like a good unit for hunting gear, chairs, fishing poles and the like...

    Anybody using the Cap-Pack with their truck topper?

    Just wanted to see if any of the folks out there in expoland are using the Cap-Pack with their truck toppers. In short the product appears to be a gear storage solution that operates similar to a bed slide but it is mounted to the roof of the truck topper. Seems like a brilliant idea for...

    Rugged, warm pants with reinforced knees and seat?

    Check out the offerings from Filson. Specifically, the Oil finish tin cloth pants. These suckers are rugged as heck. The filson clothes are well worth the price, and no kidding last decades. The Tin Cloth pants are the non treated version of the oil finish pants, same rugged triple stick etc etc...

    2010 Suzuki SX4 Crossover AWD, CVT

    I too looked for a while to try and find a manual version of this car. They were either beat to crap and or had miles through the roof. It is too bad that more companies did not follow the lead of the sx4 AWD system. Being able to switch on and of and into auto/fwd is brilliant. A lot of the...

    1st Gen Frontier engine life expectancy?

    Like anything of course, as I am sure you know it depends on how well it has been taken care of. Of course, you can do everything right and It can still blow up. With that being said, if I am recalling correctly they both are fairly stout motors. I think the Pathfinder and Frontier shared some...

    Mercedes Single Cab "Gully Wagen"

    purpose built is always a good thing. Another thing I like about the regular cabs is the smaller footprint. This is important when you are off road. You can turn around mid trail in a lot of places, you have a lighter rig that can float over things with ease. When you do get stuck it is easier...
