    Question - if you go full-time...

    Where do you register your vehicle? How do you handle mail? What's your place of residence for taxes? What else do I need to know? It looks like I'll be going full-time, at least until I can find an affordable place to live (and that's getting less and less likely)

    Treating Motorcycle Road Rash?

    What would you recommend for road rash? How do I tell when it's something I can deal with or if it's too deep and will need a trip to the hospital?

    Yet Another TIRE questoin

    '08 Rubicon 255/75R17 My T/A KM's are done @66K miles (well they were probably done at 62K too) In any case, they need replacing. I'm suffering from analysis paralysis - and I need someone to smack me upside the head. BFG in their infinite lack of wisdom has decided to not have my size -...

    Gen 2 TACO or???

    I'm going by the Wiki defined generations (Aug 2004 - Aug 2015) So, for various reasons, I'm looking at used trucks, and I could use suggessions. (The story way too long and convoluted to share here - see the never to be release 9,000 page novel - What the Heck have I done and what am I Gonna...

    HF Mobile?

    Some questions for those of you who have HF mobile. How often do you actually use HF while the vehicle is in motion? What advantage do you see to mobile HF vs portable HF like in my case, the Elecraft XK3? I ask because I have several wire antenna setups that are easy to deploy. My think is is...

    Truck Lust

    If I could figure out how to live in this truck - I'd sell the house and get one. Because I suspect it costs about that much... From Leno's Garage - Some visitors are just better looking than others :)

    Roof Top antennas - 2m/70cm and GMRS

    Could use some advice - The situtation: I'm working up a budget for my truck 99 Dodge Ram 2500 V10 - which may result in selling it and getting something else - it's a matter of tradeoffs. I'm not attached to the truck and there are a number of things that I have to fix - but I'm not sure what...

    My current/next rig - maybe...sortof

    The Dirt Everyday Tug Truck It's got the right engine. Assuming I keep the Ram, I'll most likely do a Cummins 12v 94-98 engine swap. I love the rear box and the basic layout of the rear rack - I could mount my AirTop just like that. I like the bumpers and the sliders - although I need...

    I think I want this -- anyone used one?

    Like most of us, I have projects under the vehicles. On the truck, it's not too bad, but an extra 10-15" of clearance - would be nice. I was looking at various how to videos and found this: https://www.quickjack.com/car-lift-systems/bl-5000slx-portable-car-lift.html Anyone ever used these...

    Engineers, Lawyers, and Bureaucrats (no seat belt for you)

    Never mix the three of them together, or you'll get something that is designed to make you crazy. [begin pathetic attempt at humorous rant] There is a reasonably common problem with, at least, the 2nd gen Dodge (93-2001/2) and maybe Gen 3 as well. And by reasonably common I mean, I found...
