Listing this for a work friend. I'll put you in touch if you're interested. His description: Lightly used Surly Big Dummy frameset, plus rack, bags, kickstand, and a few other small parts. Size LARGE (20"), but check Surly's site as the geometry is unusual.Frame is in good to great condition...

Thank you! Thank you! This is really great. I appreciate you sharing this with the world. It is an amazing story and film and we now get to see the second half. What a gift! I have a signed copy of your grandfather's book on my shelf. It is inscribed as follows: I was impressed by how...

I had a white 1991 4wd 2500 for many years. TBI 350 / 4L80E / NP241 with 8-lug 10 bolt/14bolt (semi float). It was emissions-exempt where I live since it was a heavy 8600# GVW. Barn doors, vinyl interior, rear a/c. Man, I loved that rig. Great, great Suburban. Last year of the solid front...

Bump for my man, Daniel. This bike is oh so nice. Buy it!

I have three (3) used BF Goodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM 255/75-17 for sale. These are the BFG KM, not KM2, and are the stock tire on later Jeep Rubicons. They have around 30%+ tread depth left. They still have some life left in them, but even though I rotated them often they have not worn...

3M Stripe Off Wheel

I used some 1 or 1-1/2" wide textured tape I had around. It's not quite non-slip tape, but close. I used these for holes: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000JIBBME You have to trim the centers a little to get them to fit snug and stay put.

You will have three rows of holes to contend with. The first row is over the wheel wells and across the middle of the doors. I used black plastic body plugs over the wheel wells and a nice, premium black rubber body molding to cover the holes on the doors. The second row is toward the...

A ground tent is obviously much more flexible and easier to deploy in a variety of circumstances. I really liked the RTT and slept great in it. Some of the most comfortable nights in the woods were in that RTT. Snow, rain, etc. But, once you set up the RTT you are not going anywhere with...

Sorry, missed the RTT comment. It handled it fine on and offroad...and only with two Thule bars. That was a large tent. Easily two or three adults. I sold it to Brad (expo handle: Chuckles) who ran it on his 4wd Chevy van for a while. Incidentally, he just sold the van.

Congrats! Great to hear it's heading to its spiritual homeland. Now we want pics of the current build :)

I recall seeing the steel wheels in the US on Ebay years ago. They may be the factory non-alloy spare.

If you could find them, I would run the factory Gen III steel wheel. They look very similar and are more tire-size friendly. 16x6.5, IIRC. Perfect for a 255/85-16!

Thanks, I appreciate it. To answer your question, with 17x7.5 FJC wheels on a Gen II the track is very similar to the stock 15x7 SR wheel. The FJC wheels are slightly wider, and that width actually is mostly inboard. However, I have not had any clearance issues. Granted, the tires I run are...

A few more pics for you! Another from the Cohuttas Bringing the Super Sherpa home With the bodywork, loaded down and with the RTT When I ran 33x12.50 TSL Radials on steelies Crossing Tallulah River Shortly after I bought it I installed steel wheels and 32x11.50 BFG Muds Stock
