Yes, you can purchase a full size 4 door full sized truck for that price pretty easily. I don't know what LHD means? Getting one with lockers will be a issue. Califorina and Arizona truck will have less rust generally speaking. I would look at history on Carfax or something like it. There are...

I've been reading this thread for a while , is it dead? Who cares. I've been a outdoorsman all my life. Rock climbers and Mountaineers look down at Back Packers/Trekkers who look down on Car Campers who look down on RVers. The folks that are looked down upon don't know or care. My grandfather...

Look at Laurel Lakes between Mcgee creek and Lake Marry.

Most of us 16" to 18" wheels so we can air down. a 22" wheel might look good but doesn't have a large foot print when aired down. Running on sand I float pretty well at 15 to 18 psi. My tires are 315, 70r 17 E rated. The rig is a Ram 2500 long bed 4 door.
