    2019 Ford Ranger Taking Orders

    That $50k price tag (before sales tax - although that one is in MT which I believe doesn't have sales tax) is the reason 33% of Americans have negative equity in their vehicles. I have 5 vehicles (2 are antique military vehicles so don't really count) and only 1 car payment. The only reason I...

    Growler ITV Just started selling

    It appears to be an extremely capable offroad vehicle but you'd probably need a trailer to haul all of your gear. Fortunately the M1163 is designed to tow a small artillery piece so should pull a Turtleback without too much trouble. The 1st of these sold on GovPlanet.com yesterday with the 4...

    Fiberglass Utility Bed Camping Trailer

    I have a M116A2 that's currently for sale. The benefit of it is that it comes with a MEP002A 5KW diesel generator. Pull the gennie for tornado season and plop the box on it.

    Tire time

    Tread separation can give you a weird sound without giving other indications if it's only to a slight degree. If it's a full blown case you'd feel like you were running on a flat but can still be hidden inside the carcass so not really show a lot of outer damage.

    Trailer Brakes?

    That's the lowest bidder that meets a strict set of requirements. They don't just throw out a contract for a trailer and give it to someone that comes up with one $5 cheaper than the next guy. THEN they go through extensive testing before ever being fielded to make sure they'll hold up. Ask...

    What kind of weight capacity does a M416 trailer capable of?

    Actually that part is called a lunette. That's the ring that goes into a pintle hitch. It's hard to tell if the ring is still there or if they cut it off and just mounted that monstrocity on what was left.

    ROOF-TOP TENT - The SECRETS & Truth Must See FULL Review before You Buy

    Nice review and nice looking tent. However, I think $3800 (even in Canadian dollars) is a tad pricey for a soft shell tent.

    F250/350 rack and topper

    "The topper is 800.00 and the ladder rack is 500.00 If you purchase both it will be 1500." So it's $200 more ($1500 instead of $1300 - $800+$500 = $1300) if you buy them together than if you bought each separate?

    What kind of weight capacity does a M416 trailer capable of?

    They were designed for 500lbs (1/4 ton trailer) off road and 750lbs on road. With new, higher rated tires I'm sure you can push that a bit but it still doesn't have much for suspension.

    WesternStar Fiat Army Truck

    LSVW (Light Support Vehicle Wheeled) in case anyone was wondering. It has a 2.5l turbo diesel. Max speed is about 62mph.

    Driver's license for BIG trucks

    And you're telling the OP that just because YOUR state is ignorant enough to allow anyone with a normal driver's license to operate a 40' Class A without any additional requirements that ALL states are that ignorant.

    Driver's license for BIG trucks

    Just about everything in your statement is incorrect. For example, in TX if your Class A RV is over 26k pounds you need a MINIMUM of a Class B driver's license. If you pull a trailer and your combined weight is over 26k pounds you need a Class A driver's license (so everyone understands, a...

    Missing in Baja - Update Feb 10th. Located/All is well.

    Plus 10 on the InReach. I'll stop complaining about my wife tracking my movements now (although I keep it turned off in town so she doesn't know I've been to Popeye's).

    Wrecked

    Even if they move it you should still have the opportunity to get the rack off. Look for anything else you might want/need that isn't officially "part of the vehicle" (don't take the spare or things that would normally be there for example but if you had a SPOD or something like that it's not...

    Michelin 900r16 info

    Try Steel Soldiers.com for username simp5782 . It's doubtful he'll be able to respond for a couple of days though. Another member of that site was helping him move some larger vehicles and was killed in an accident yesterday so Wes probably won't be able to communicate for a bit.

    DIY Discada "Skottle" Cooker $65.00

    Thanks for the video! I've been thinking about making one out of a disc but this is much easier. Unfortunately I didn't see that they were available on Amazon and paid about $10 more for the one I ordered but still worth it.
