    Tires - "Grip" or Weight?

    This is not an Expo trailer, but should convey your point. I have had several iterations of percolation test trailers to haul my 110-gallon water tank around, tools, and gear for off-road assignments. My work has been at the beginning stages of land development for residential and commercial...

    Newbie MONTERO Help...LS vs. SR - Will a NOVICE Really know the difference?? Gen I??

    The Gen I LS was also available with a 5-speed and sunroof. Gen II had a 5-sp available until 1995 (?) but only with the 3.0L. The '09 trip I led in the hills was accompanied by a multitude of Gen I and IIs. My little 4-cyl Raider struggled on hills that Ray's Gen II had no problems with.

    Knife thread

    Until recently, my daily knife was a Benchmade Ares with a combo serrated/straight blade. It was very imposing to folks on the other end of my hand. The knife is now part of the concrete at my project, lost into the mixer pump. Alas. I have 2 Leatherman multi-tools that are DC, a Wave and a Squirt.

    Intro: 1987 Dodge Raider for back country excursions

    The Mitsu LSD is capable enough for most situations. Look for an LSD from a Starion to add in your front diff, too. As you know, I've run up to 33" tires on my Raider, but 31" is more reasonable, fit on stock rims, and don't kill power or braking efforts. Haul a small trailer with your added...

    Chevy/GMC wheel choice question

    The 17s have been on the market long enough now to have equilibrated in price due to being a fairly common size. What were you considering in 16s?

    1983 Chevy Lindy 20' Class C Coach

    This may be something of interest here, due to the short coach length. I have no need of this coach and would gladly have $$ or reasonable trade. Images here: http://profile.imageshack.us/user/holly_hobby/ Details: 1983 Chevy G-30 chassis with a Lindy coach. Self-contained, generator...

    Eww! Add another axle to take some of the weight or move the axle forward.
