    2002 International Utility Vehicle - Talk me out of it

    My last try is unless you are going paved roads everywhere stay away from the 2wd model. If you can find one of these 4wd it would be useful and a fun project. I have seen these have to get towed down roads and even out of camp after even the lightest of rain. They just don't get any traction...

    2002 International Utility Vehicle - Talk me out of it

    As I am sure you are aware already this is a forest service hotshot crew buggy or a crew transport for fires. They see a lot of miles and harsh conditions. I didn't see it in the pictures but some of these are only 2wd. I am sure it has many miles on it as well as these criss-cross the country...

    Why are the Ram's and all long beds neglected in the aftermarket world?!

    I run a 2019 RAM 2500 mega cab. So short bed but full size nonetheless. I have found that it takes some creative searching but I have been able to find anything I have needed. Now it may not be the very specific brand of something but I can find it specifically for RAM. I also have been...

    Uberland's Second Build Thread - 2021 Ram 2500 Power Wagon(ish)

    I think you will find this to be a good platform. I added the decked bed system, a rack, 35s and new 18" rims, GMRS, spod, fridge, self built battery bank with solar and alternator charging all to my own 2500. It has taken me 70k miles so far and most places I want to go. It won't be a great rig...

    Rotopax &Maxtraxx to OEM racks.

    Looks good. Great idea on the pegboard option. Only advice I can pass on is I have had issues with the fuel cans leaking just a bit of fuel. I have found the "o-rings" tear and do not seat well and you have to be very diligent on tightening them down.

    Garmin - new interesting device

    Yes about the phone to share and save routes. I think this has some potential as a good gadget. I use a ton of garmin stuff and like that they make their stuff work together. I am assuming you will need to use the explore app or earthmate app for the routes if you want to share them or download...
