Thanks for the quick reply! I know, I know, pictures are a necessity! I am planning on pulling it all apart again this weekend. I really want this thing running. I haven't thought about the points, I will do that as well. If I can't get it running, I will order new parts for the carb...

Hey all, I need some help getting my 1981 Suzuki TS100 running again. I recently moved back to my hometown, and pulled the bike out of my Dad's shop. I haven't ridden it in at least 8 or 9 years. It is a small dual sport, but would be perfect for toiling around on dirt roads around town...

There is one in the small town of Brownfield, TX, that I have seen for a year or more, while passing through. Don't know anything about it. Did a google search and think I found it. FWIW... http://vehicross.info/forums/showthread.php?threadid=19644&page=1

Dale, the old fart, That is exactly what I did. Ironically, not trading for the KLR was one of the smartest thing I have ever done. June went something like this. I sold the Cruiser. Two days later my house AC went out, and had to be replaced. (just about the same as what i sold the bike...

Is there any reason to go to a 17" wheel over the 20? The only thing I can think of would be more sidewall, but is it necessary?

I hate it(:victory:), but it is that time again. I am in need of new tires. I am currently running Bridgestone Revo II's in 275r60/20 on a 2006 Dodge Ram 2wd 1500 QC. This truck was also offered with a 17" wheel package. I am considering picking a set of these rims up and going that...

Since there are some Dodge guys here, I have another question. Anyone look into adding a second battery? If so, how/where did you put it? I can't find the space.

Same boat! 2006 Ram 1500, 2wd. As of yet, I have not needed 4x4. However, I know where I can go and where I can't go. I grew up on a farm/ranch (never had 4x4), but learned the limits of where you can go well. I also have 20" rims currently running Bridgestone Revo's. They have been good...

I have thought about building an "offroad" teardop type camper for a long time. I think this would work well for the curved roof. Could it be used for the siding as well? Any ideas for a better option?

This may be the most important post on this topic. I do need to spend some time thinking about where I want to go, and how I want to "live" along the way. "Whatever solution you deem adequate will only prove to tie your family together and provide you all with experiences which truly define...

Seriously. After looking at your pics, I want a hummer now! :Wow1: No apologies necessary!

Thanks a lot! I want a hummer now! :drool:

For another option... I have a shell on my truck now. What would you guys think about adding an SUV tent to the back, and using that for the family? Wife and kiddo in the shell, me in the tent? Or something similar?

Maybe its just being a first time dad, but I am a little nervous at taking them out at such a young age (6 months). I am sure, I will get over that though. (I don't think their head will fall anymore :)). I think I will start taking him out slowly and day trips and see how it goes. If all...

I think you must be the true Family Man. This is sound advice. I think my best plan is to put together some options, and then take them to momma, and let her pick. She has already agreed to some form of a camper in the next few years. I think this is going to be a 3 year process or so...

My God Man! You have done it! That is perfect! Seriously, I think that is the perfect rig.

I think I will probably start with a small pop-up to tow behind my truck. As we grow (kiddo and fammily), then I will upgrade. By the time I retire (if I ever get to), I hope to be in a SMB or the likes to travel the world with with my wife. Thanks for all the replies. I also agree with the...

Thanks for the replies! I grew up tent camping and backpacking (when I was a little older). My main idea with a camper of some sorts (either slide in or tow) is that if it is too hot or cold, I could get the little guy out of the elements. Plus... The wife likes "camping" much more if she...

Hello all... Never thought I would be perusing the Family section of a board like this, when I could be looking at build-threads and trip reports, but it is full of great advice. Thanks to all of you. I had my first kid 7 weeks ago. Immediately, I realized that I wouldn't be having many...

Any interest? Make me an offer, need to sell to finance other projects. I will be putting on local craigslist in the next few days.
