Sorry, I should have been more clear-I don't plan on going over the rated payload of a half-ton anyways, but with tents and gear and racks and such in the bed off-road, I'm going to be sitting at or near maximum capacity on a semi-regular basis. I'm not trying to turn it into a 3/4-ton, just...

I'm starting a buildup on an '02 Silverado 5.3L Z71 I rescued from the boneyard, and the first thing I want to do is gain a little extra ground clearance, so I planned to replace the worn-out factory shocks with some Bilstein 5100s and install a 2" torsion key to fit 285/75/16 ATs. However, I...

I'm new to lifting and building trucks, and vehicles with IFS in general (Coming from Jeeps), so this may be a pretty obvious question to some of you guys. I'm building up a 2001 Silverado Z-71 as a daily driver/weekend warrior, and I'm looking to gain a little bit of ground clearance without...

Awesome trucks so far guys! Definitely loving the pics. A question to the owners that have to deal with salty and dirty roads: What are you doing about the rusting brake lines? My truck came to me cheap with the caveat that it needs a new ABS control module, and probably some new brake lines...

It looks like I might be selling my '06 F-250 for an '01 Silverado project (Which should still be cheaper to get where I want it than the F-250 is already, and won't be quite the gas-sucking behemoth that the Ford will always be), so once I get it's main issue fixed (Blown ABS controller), I...

If that's his resume as an electrician, I hope I never have to work with him. :Wow1:

A winch and a selectable rear locker or limited slip, plus some portable traction aides (Portable roads, tire chains, ect) will get you almost anywhere you'd want to take a full-size van anyways. A small lift for a bit more ground clearance never hurt either. Although I've taken bone-stock Ford...

I honestly wouldn't go through the hassle of bringing a van out of Vancouver into the USA. You'd be looking at a van that's probably spent its entire life in a seaside city in stop-and-go traffic. Even with the exchange rate, the taxes and hassle to get a van full of sea salt and road salt...

Honestly, I'd say that the Wrangler Unlimited has been the superior choice for an overland platform versus the Defender for quite a while. The Defender used to have payload and efficiency on it's side in the SWB Wrangler days, but a Wrangler Unlimited can carry as much, matches it for fuel...

I'm looking for a levelling kit to bring my truck up a little, and replace the worn-out factory shocks. Anyone have a recommendation on a levelling kit, or even just some replacement shocks? I was hoping for an Old Man Emu kit, since I love the OME lift in my TJ, but so far I haven't found one...

Yeah, I just heard back from the dealer and they've been replaced already. So it's either just sensors or needs a heavier oil. They gave me service records and the truck has been really well-kept, so it looks like if the bank says yes, it's a go.

Yeah, the price is solid-$12,000 for ~160,000 KM (Which, in the Yukon, is a good price)-it's cheap because it's such a barebones truck, but the total absence of options is actually the whole reason for wanting it specifically. I'm not too concerned about it being a hardcore offroader-if I want...

My Quadvan project is going on a truck to a new home tomorrow, and while I'm sad to see her go, the money will get me something that doesn't need a new engine. And right now, this is the frontrunner candidate for a new daily driver/light expo vehicle: 2005 Ford F-250, 5.4L, 4WD, 5-speed...

It's a Clydesdale. Sorry, forgot that Quadvan was an actual brand, not just a term for the vehicle.

It's a 5.4L, 130,000 KM

When's the last time you saw someone break down over a computer on the trail? I've sprayed lots of ether in malfunctioning carbs, but I've never seen someone need to bust out a laptop and reflash their ECU on trail ;)

Honestly, on a JK, coils and shocks are sufficient. Longer track bars aren't going to hurt anything, but you're not going to have any real issues with the stockers either. Stock brake lines are sufficient too. That being said, if you plan to be spending any major time off-road, I'd replace...

So, I'm at a dilemma. This winter, I bought a 2006 Ford E-350 with a Clydesdale 4WD conversion. The price was a steal, since the engine was in a mystery condition. It runs and drives, but it turns out that cylinder 7 has an injector stuck open that's blown that cylinder and now it's got weak...

The Commando won't be for sale here either, for the same reasons-there's no way that thing is DOT-legal. EDIT: Not to an average buyer, at least. You CAN buy the J8 in North America too, you just have to be a registered corporation or organization, and you can only register them for off-highway...
