    1986 GMC S-15

    The blue GMC looks GREAT! The proportions of lift and tire size to the vehicle itself is rugged and purposeful. Something like the way 4x4 Tacomas are when new that GM never bought the into with thier smaller trucks. I'm sure if they made them the way you have outfitted yours (without the...

    Why are torsion bars so vilified? And were Land Cruisers ever designed for recreational off-roading

    In the 1990's, the fill size Chevy Blazer and original GMC Yukon went with a solid roof, independent front suspension with torsion bars. GMT400 Blazer and Yukon. Full size. V8. Comfy as all get-out. the set up was fantastic on the highway. Comfortable and rugged at the same time. Yes...

    Not very safe buying things here

    Good instinct. That's what I mean. But again, this isnt Amazon, and we are in a holiday weekend. I wouldnt expect anything to be done until Monday the earliest. Give the folks a chance to have a meal with thier families, enjoy the weekend and catch up on Monday. This isn't brain surgery...

    Their personal email could have been pushed. From that maybe a goigle dox of passwords discovered. And maybe they used the same password for multiple accounts, so the usurper hopped on here to see about making some dough

    Not very safe buying things here

    Those are sort of the age old cautions, right? .Pushy sales people mean to push you into a corner .Any demand for alternative payments, especially sight unseen, is bs and always has been. . Talking about other buyer is to get you all hopped up to make a bad decision .Deleting prior posts, or...

    Not very safe buying things here

    Simplest way to circumvent a technology based hack (Phishing scam, Ransomware) is the non-technology route of confirmation. Cash and face to face. City of Quincy Massachusetts retirement board got taken, I think to the tune of 3.5 million dollars because a board member's account got hacked...

    If something sounds like a steal, it IS. If it sounds too good to be true, it isnt Sorry you got hit (op)

    Chevy Avalanche overland possibilities

    There is a Leer type cap that used to be available for the Avalanche. I've seen them in the wild. But they are camper caps, not campers. I always loved the idea of the Avalanche, but have never owned one. It could be great, what with the closeable pass-through and all. And yeah the 2500...

    Bring back the "porthole" windows and wild airbrushed fantasy paintings and shorter wheelbase vans, I say!

    Die Hard is sold at Advance, I think. I bought my Die Hard a couple years ago. So far so good

    Another dead alternator on my 1999 Monty

    AutoZone remanufactures to a point of failure just under warranty so they get you back in the store all the time. Who knows, you might buy wipers or floor mats or plug wires, or a Volt-Ohm meter while you're there waiting for your annual alternator swap. Saying nothing of the time spent...

    Insurance Woes

    4x4 trucks exist. Vans exist. AWD and 4x4 Van's exist. Camper vans exist. And they get insured. Lifted trucks exist and get insured. CONVERSION vans exist and get insured. No vehicle really ever gets insured for what you paid for it, but you ought to be able to get coverage for this...

    General gripe

    TNF sued a small company called The South Butte, run by a dad and son that used sort of an upside down TNF logo as theirs. It was started as a gag. Put them right out of business

    Craghoppers has an outlet in North Conway up in the Whites. I only gave a passing glance because I thought they were a knock-off. I'll take a closer look .thanks

    General gripe

    I use these long sleeves as base layer. They work great for me. As do the Wrangler hiking pants, though my LLBean hiking pants really are better quality when seen side by side, but for the price...

    General gripe

    Ya. I have a great Columbia 3 in 1 coat, supposed to keep the rain off. An hour in drizzle and my shoulders and cell phone in my pocket are soaked. Makes me want to go back to a yellow slicker like I had in grade school
