No problem with rubbing on offroad situations? Of course it's not like I would be doing any rock crawling, but mild to medium trails. Can you post some pics? Thanks.

No appologies needed for the long post. I appriciate all of the info. In my younger days it was all about trying to see how much mud I could get through so looking at other tires besides MT's is hard to do even though I know it's the right thing to do. I looked at the BFG AT's but as odd as this...

Thanks for the info. I bought the H2 wheels without tires because I was worries about rubbing in rough terrain. Do you have any problems with that and what lift are you running? The tires are easy to find and it would simplify things a lot.

I have looked at the Toyo M/T's cut worry about wear and the affect on my MPG. I drive the truck to work every day, and will have to drive a lot of highway miles to do any exploration camping. Sorry for my late reply, I have been putting in a lot of hours.

I do have some good news to report. I have decided that the 101A2 is the perfect platform for what I am wanting to build. The fact that I have a 3/4 ton truck and need the room for my camping gear made my final decision, along with some good information that I have been given on this thread. I...

That sounds great, I would love to see what pics you do have of the build and the final product. I will be in touch.

Great looking trailer. That is very close to what I was thinking. My Silverado is black so I was going to have it painted or powdercoated to match. Just a great looking trailer, and I want to thank you for the pics because it has convenced me that I am on the right path for my purpose. This...

Thanks for the welcome. I have seen a lot of these hitting the military surplus. The prices aren't bad because they are not nearly as wanted as the smaller trailers so that works out perfectly for me and what I need.

Great looking truck, and what I like most is the type of use you are getting out of it. I don't understand what the H2 rims would have to do with flat tires. Is it the tires you have on the rims? What is the advantage to running a more narrow tire? I see a lot of posts out her talking about...

Thanks for the advise on tires, that of course is going to be my first purchase. Being in the Midwest we deal a lot with mud and snow when doing any offroading so I am a little concerned about all terain tires. Just concerned that I won't be able to get where I need to be. I do realize that...

I am just getting into the Expedition hobby, and yes I know most of you would probably say it is a lifestyle not a hobby. I am looking at getting one of the 3/4 ton miliary trailers and building it into an offroad trailer. I like the fact that they share an 8 lug bolt pattern with my truck so...

I agree with what you are saying but I haven't owned anyother color of a vehicle in years. I will make due with the black truck and just try to keep some really thick wax on it. haha In a full time expo rig I would go a tan color, but that's just me.

Thanks for the response. Yes, I plan on working with what I have and making it a capable as possible.

Hello, my name is Brock and I am new to the forums. However I have been reading them for about a year and finally decided to join. My daughter and I enjoy tent camping, however we have always gone to campgrounds here in cental Illinois. The problem with IL is that there is not a lot of...
