    2020 Ram 1500 Tire Recommendations?

    Eh, no worries. Everyone does it, and I am no authority here at all. You just might find even more info out there in these threads is all. Anyway I Drove into work this morning, 55 miles in the rain. Headed back for another 55 in the rain. My BFG AT KO2's did just fine. I realize its...

    2020 Ram 1500 Tire Recommendations?

    ...Michelin Defender LTX for on road and even, according to other threads, fire service roads. (Or even the Defender LTX AT for off road). Had many, great on road tire. ...BF Goodrich A/T KO 2 (or 3, I think that's the new one) 285/70r17 is a 32.7 inch high tire, so just about a 33...

    New Scout: No discussion?

    Seems like kind of a fail? When you bring back a nameplate like Blazer or Scout, you alienate the original base if you change the vehicle too much. Even if the new vehicle is a good one, you are picking up a new base anyway, so call it something else, why dont they

    New Scout: No discussion?

    Used to see AutoCar and IH dumpers on the highway here all winter, plowing and sanding. Oh well

    New Scout: No discussion?

    I did a couple quick searches but did not find any results for the new Scout and few about the old Scout, whether 80. 800 or II. Wondering if there is little to no talk of it here because New Scout is electric? Also, why do US car companies keep being bought by European car companies? How did...

    What’s the best way to stay warm in my rooftop tent?

    Yes and yes. Yes We played dodge ball with kickballs, and yes, the no longer allow the game here. To me, though, that was the one game where a skinny, quick kid with lightning reflexes could out-play the jocks

    2025 GM 2500HD Bilsteins - 5100's or 5160's?

    Did you "level" the front at all or leave it stock height?

    What’s the best way to stay warm in my rooftop tent?

    Oh yes. I have those, too. Sometimes use them for warming my aching back. Made from the same stuff as old, 1970's, grade school kickballs! We have 2 or 3 of these kicking around. One at the foot of the bed, one for each of us to put near our chests. Wrapped in a towel at first. Gotta be...

    2025 GM 2500HD Bilsteins - 5100's or 5160's?

    My 5100's were mainly to level the front. That's the point of them. The 4600's are basically a stock replacement. 5160's, double the price, more complicated installation, performs as the 5100, but can do so longer because the fluid is in an external reservoir If you only see dirt roads and...

    Cargo straps? Who is using what?

    Using standard 1 and 2 inch ratchet straps you can get anywhere, and some Thule branded "load straps model 523" and a couple Thule 855XT "quick draw"s. You can tell a quality ratchet strap, and many inexpensive ones are of perfectly good quality. Just make sure the mechanism doesn't rust up...

    What do you think are really good tires for most off road ventures

    Getting close to Winter here, so I just bought a set of take-offs, slightly used BF Goodrich All Terrain KO2. First thing I noticed was the improved stance, second thing I noticed was the slight increase in road noise, thought I'm coming from Yokohama, and Michelin before these. The KO2 is the...

    “Spiking” forest service roads in Oregon. .

    I would not say that doing something life threatening in and of itself makes them a terrorist. However I would absolutely agree that it makes them criminal. Punji spikes are meant to mame or kill. I realize the intent here may be to pop tires, but someone could fall onto them. At least...

    Essential Tools and Gear for Overlanding

    2003 Grand Cherokee Laredo

    Love that you still have this. Kinda wish I had kept mine. If I sunk 25% of my truck payment into my old WJ instead of buying the truck, my WJ could be like yours. I've read the beginning and this page. Will fill in the middle later but nice Jeep!
