    Military M1008 vs Toyota LC80 as a budget rig, which do you recommend?

    As a previous owner of a 1986 CUCV I would recommend the LC. Not because of the 24v. It is a misconception that you need to convert it to 12v. The only thing on the truck that is 24v is the starter and the jump start plug on the front grill. The problem with the chevy is that it has a top speed...

    Ford E-350 Van Buildout

    Ford E-350 Van Buildout

    I am reconfiguring my van for a second summer of exploring the west and midwest. Last summer I departed Atlanta in a 1998 Land Rover Discovery all decked out with adventure rack and winch. I made it to the desert in west Texas...it over heated and died. My first choice of vehicle was the...
