One of my friends used an '87 Samurai as a work vehicle from 1988 to 2009, then was retired with 465,000 documented chassis miles on 3 engines and two transmissions. The reason for retirement was a bad cat, rotten floor boards, metal fatigue to the body sheetmetal (doors falling off), and the...

You could find the front Eaton, Spicer, or similar axle from another 4x4 IH and not have to change over the wheels.

Our '05 GMC Sierra 1500 crew cab shortbed 2wd w/5.3L ranges between 13 towing to 20 highway. The Ramcharger I just purchased gets about 8. My '77 Dodge W300, 360, 4sp, full-time 4wd with 4.88 axles and a walk-in service body made about 3 mpg highway no matter how I drove it...then it was...

Not a Suburban, but similar platform: we have an '05 GMC Sierra 1500 crew cab shortbed 2wd that has just turned about 110K miles. This has been pretty vanilla as trucks go, and having owned since new has only had a few problems. Our truck has a 5.3L V8 that has now used 2 water pumps already, 1...

Trials and tribulations bringing my new toy home today. Made it despite rain, a faulty tow dolly and running out of gas. The Ramcharger will seat all my family, carry stuff, and pull the horse trailer (and other things) if needed. My intent will be for RV duties, sometime driver, and for...

Remember the adage "pound wise and penny foolish" and you'll get some more life with your Trooper. There is no magic vehicle in the US market that appears to suit all your requirements. How about a Cummins 4BT or Isuzu TD swap in the Trooper? How about a Dodge W250/W350 with a turbo diesel...

I lost my 12-year old Benchmade Ares 730SBK with wine-colored scales. I really missed the knife. My loving wife just replaced that with another Benchmade, a model 275SBK with a D2 blade.

I had two experiences with an Aamco dealer back in the 80's / 90's: 1. Had my '68 Buick GS400 and was allergic to auto-trans fluid even then. Aamco was having a special on a fluid and filter change, parents offered to pop $$ for the job. Pulled the car in, then waited in the waiting room for...

I made a deposit, most I could do following some emergency surgery for my wife. The grey Ramcharger will sit in my driveway in a short time, though. :)

Jealous, wish I could find something like that locally for my Mighty Max, as that would go way far in keeping my interest in the truck.

Welcome. :ylsmoke:

Bigger brakes, load carrying hubs...can run BIG tires...

War footage in Irag: Some snow? A gaggle: Monty, our first Montero (13 ago): Bonnie & Clyde: Roxy the Raider: With HEAVY equipment: Packed, but not for fun: Head of the line: A real burnout without a turbo and no water: Brian's Gen I on 34's: A few, enough?

There are 7 Monteros in my yard right now, and a turbo Mighty Max, too. And?

In "The Highlander" series...the expression was 'there can be only one...' In this thread, a Toyota was introduced. Pick, all I said.

There can be only one, pick!

Congrats! Really liked the truck but no dough. :)

hmm :drool:
