What in the hell did you ever sell that w350 for? And I'm not a Dodge fan. But those, and the RamChargers that were like 70's and 80's Broncos, but with a metal roof. They sort of showed the way the big Blazer would eventually go, with non removable roof. Again. Not a Dodge fan but loved those

Oh... My... God. How in the hell did I misread that? Clearly, yes. *Ahem* please disregard my last.

My apologies as I am not so worldly as some others, but from what I have seen and read, to equate the Land Rover and "longevity" is a rather dicey statement. Some would say worse reliability than some other brands. I dont know, because I've never owned one, I'm genuinely curious if it is...

No, you aren't. Not in my book. Someone else might be

I had a 91 as well. Maybe it was a 90. Definitely early GMT 400. 305 motor. 3 speed (+R) manual transmission. Manual transfer case. Regular cab, short bed, bench seat. Slider rear window. Fold-down windows. Manual side view mirrors big and square. Simple. Built to push, haul and pull

Interesting. I guess I just never realized how small the individual tanks were. Thought they were each the standard size. And I never happened to experience the rocker switch failure, not that I doubt you. As for being located outside the frame, it was proven that NBC television had mocked...

I just can not believe that we no longer have the stock or optional factory dual fuel tanks and filler doors like on the OBS 70's and 80's Chevy and GMC c/k pickups. But there must still be old plans lying around somewhere, so you could fabricate something like that almost to a tee. Fuel gage...

Sure am gonna miss that guy. Caught his show a few times...ah well. All good things...

Then again, you dont buy one of these for true on road truckin' and hauling.

...and I even like the color...

Saw that. Didnt know Jimmy Buffet had been a fan of this kind of travel. Planes, yes. Boats, yes. This?!?! Nope. Didnt know

Always liked these rims on the Fords of this era.

We kayak some as well. Not as much as you, but this looks like a great idea

I'll be looking for two mirrors anyway. Because I swear, side view mirrors on trucks these last 15 years or so have been the size of old Camaros or something. Too busy making trucks sporty and fast looking. Seems like older trucks always had big square mirrors and I have to get tow mirrors...

The original space blanket was devoped (in Massachusetts, or some company in Mass had a contract to manufacture) for NASA. The earliest one I saw was in early 1970's in my father's station wagon. Medium blue on one side, reflective silver on the other. Thick (for the thinness of the blanket)...

Guy near me has one of these on his old Ford Ranger

A/K/A the "Space Blanket." Love these. Have one for car camping and one in my light day hike pack. The people I'm with call me crazy to keep one in the day pack but I know better. If we get caught by surprise and have to stay the night, run a line between 2 trees, drape 10 inches over 1 side...

I was never a boy scout but learned a few things from my father who was with the 101 in Nam. If the ground sheet (tarp) is bigger than the tent floor, you can fold it upwards somehow to help keep rain from getting between the tarp and the tent. Also, I'd love to get a couple of older army rain...

A tarp under should have the edges raised somehow IF rain protection is part of the philosophy, aside from that, spot on...a tarp over keeps the actual rain off the tent as well and takes the impact of any small and twig sized branches that might fall from trees overnight, increasing life...

Always 1 under. 1 over, whenever possible. I also use one instead of buying a batwing or any other fancy awning. So, yup. I carry a minimum of 3 tarps every camp trip
