Those are cool for sure. I have always thought that a late model (96) Bronco with a solid front axle and a four wheel camper would be a blast.

The Dodge wasn't a whole lot better either. ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmSVIXgiuvM

If I were still in Oregon (hopefully will get back soon) I would have siped the center blocks on the KM2s. I siped most of my mud terrains in Oregon with awesome results. Even without having the KM2s siped, they have worked very well in the limited snow here, as well as lots of rain. I may...

I have been very happy with the KM2s on my F150, they are 35x12.50R18s. I have over 20k miles on them, they have 60-75% tread left, they are quiet and smooth. They work well in snow and ice, rain and of course mud. They did take a fair amount of weight to balance, and I have had to re-balance...

I would go with a solid M/T and have the center tread blocks siped. I have always had great luck going that route in all conditions, mud, rocks, snow, sand, heavy rain etc. Check out Toyo Open Country M/Ts, Cooper STTs and the new Goodyear MT/R. The new MT/Rs tend to have higher weight ratings...

The loss of the six speed manual will upset some people for sure. But honestly when you drive the manual and the automatic torqueshift side by side, I wouldn't care for the manual. Plus I have heard that people have been having a hard time getting clutches to stand up to the abuse.

Used 4x4 Sportsmobile based on a Ford Econoline with diesel.

How about drilling a small hole just big enough to stick your arm in... Then taking a strong piece of metal tube or cast piece like a 48" hi-lift (just the long portion with holes in it), hooking the winch line to the center of it, dropping it down the hole and pulling it back up so the 48" long...

Speaking of electrical issues, the stereo and climate control lights flicker occasionally when it is cold, whether idling or driving. I'll echo the comment about it feeling/sounding thin and not well dampened though. I have had much of the front apart while modifying headlights and such and...

I think if you pay $600+ for one of those you are a sucker. Anyone who works with metal could build one for a whole lot less, I mean there aren't even any bends. And you could support someone local.

Newer Subarus with the 2.5L turbo have a lot of issues with turbo failures and oil pickup tube failures. The turbos have a tiny oil screen that easily clogs and starves the turbo of oil. Even with the screen removed, the turbos frequently go at around 60k miles. The oil pickup tubes are a...

Exactly. You would be flashing your lights all the time. The truth is that so many people just stopped fighting it because flashing your hi beams isn't going to fix their HIDs. On the off chance that they have a functional low-hi HID setup you will just get flashed with brighter lights.

Nice camper! Definitely look into upgraded tie rod ends for that truck. I have seen so many broken tie-rod ends on late model chevy trucks, and I understand there are a few companies out there offering more heavy duty parts.

In my opinion, you are better off talking to local fabricators and having someone build you a custom bumper. Often times cheaper, better built, and built to suit your taste. Not to mention that you're supporting a smaller and local company. But that's me, I find most of the off-the-shelf bumper...

I wouldn't think it would be too difficult to create a simple internal frame for the shell, that would distribute the load onto the bed rails a bit more. Tying the rack into the bed and the cab would be a bad idea due to the frame flex. The rack should be built with a little clearance over the...

Here is an old picture I took near Denio Junction, NV. Incredible colors that night!

I think it would look pretty good! I have not seen anyone with a high rise cap build a rack like that, but I like the idea. Nice truck too! I would anchor the rack with a decent sized plate on the inside and outside of the rack for good support. I wouldn't be worried about it flexing much. I...

Bookmarked. Thanks for the link, Bill!

I'm sure not everyone will agree, but I'm going to suggest good mud terrains, and get them siped. In deep snow, mud terrains rock. I have had excellent results with various mud terrains, aired down (even 10-15psi helps a lot). Not all mud terrains are bad in light snow, I happen to love my BFG...

Exactly. I don't understand why people still try to deny this. No matter how they get installed, if they are going into a HALOGEN assembly they cause a lot more glare and light scatter than a halogen bulb. Some reflectors are not as bad as others, but they always scatter light more than stock. A...
