No advice on the trailer but welcome from another San Antonio area member.

Looks like the buyer of that project hasn't been on since 2016 so I wouldn't hold out too much hope for an update.

My good set of Craftsman tools (30+ years old) got stolen along with my F250 in 2014. Since then I carry a cheaper Craftsman folding hard case for daily driving stuff and keep my good tools at home. Now when I did the ID BDR this summer I brought that plus everything and the kitchen sink...

Ask the dealer what it is based on the options you're ordering. If they can't do that find a different dealer.

I was a claims adjuster for years and saw more people walk away from horrendous wrecks in a Subaru that they never would have in most other cars. I've had several but my wife will only drive pickups so we have 2 of them and no cars.

Everyone can see my prior post. Ditto on the ************ remark.

First of all to the OP, the USA is not stupid just because the toys you want aren't made here. Stay in Europe and play with all the crap you want. I'm really sick of ************** in other countries knocking ours and thinking whatever socialist utopia country they're in is better. I, for one, am...

Just did the ID BDR and the InReach was great to have. I was able to text my wife daily (well more than once) to let her know how I was doing and the tracking let her keep up on my progress. It also helped get a friend caught up with us in the middle of nowhere as he could text me and let me...

I recommend this book:

I think the ACELAs start at around $140k. The $40k he spoke about was a straight FMTV that has just been gone through by FMTVtrucks. ACELA trucks are stripped to the ground and completely rebuilt including sandblasting and painting the cab, all new interior, new (comfortable) steering wheels...

Not sure where you can get the gears from. Everyone that I've heard about will only do them in their trucks (ACELA, FMTVtrucks, etc) And while I have a vested interest in people buying from private owners as my truck is for sale, buying from GovPlanet is a major crapshoot. Their "Ironclad...

You could always wait for the new Courier.

And the nice thing about ignore is that they won't even show up when someone is quoting them so you get the other person's comment but not the ignored one's quote. I've only used it on 2 individuals and one was in this thread.

You can probably do it but LMTVs are an EUC controlled item. Meaning that anyone purchasing them as surplus through GovPlanet or back with it was GovLiquidation had to submit an EUC application that said they were a US citizen and that the item was not purchased for export. If you deal with an...

Someone on Steel Soldiers (from OK, I believe) stated they could get new gears (not takeouts) installed for $4k per axle. That seems like an awfully high amount for your ROI (Return On Investment :) ). So you can do 65mph instead of 55mph. Getting 80 miles closer after driving 8 hours isn't...

Excuse me. Your stats don't say "American living in Germany." I guess they should just say "Anti-Constitutionalist American living in Germany."

Unless you're lying about your location, you are. And those are lovely stats you posted. What's the source? I can make any BS I want that says the opposite of what you say unless it's documented.

Arguing with most Europeans, especially regarding gun issues, is a waste of time. You're never going to get past "I'm right and you're American" so why bother. Maybe the next time the Russians decide they want half, or all, of their country we can just let them figure out how to say "yes sir...

I have the basic plan for just keeping it in my truck but you can upgrade and lower your plan on a monthly basis if you decide to do so. For my ID BDR trip last month I upgraded to the highest level so I'd have unlimited texting ability (main reason I bought mine so I could keep the wife...

Since you're from Idaho this might be pertinent. I just got back from doing the ID BDR. And yes 90% of it could be done in a 2 wheel drive, although I'd be concerned in a big portion of that 95% even if it could have been done. Having said that, 1/2" of rain would have turned that 95% into...
