    Caterham Brutus concept

    Looks pretty but its over 500 pounds and has very little suspension travel. I'm betting a ten year old 125 cc two stroke will out perform the Brutus. They should have made it two wheel drive to compete with the Rokon.

    New Fat Bike and a beer

    Lucas made electric bikes in the early 1800's and that's why bicycles now have pedals.

    Noomad dual front wheel conversion

    You'll hit a lot more pot holes with three wheels. It looks like a great way to carry a golf bag.

    New Fat Bike and a beer

    As a non-bike rider, I have to ask how do you ride back up the mountain? I've seen Mongoose single speed fat bikes at Walmart for around $200. I'd like to have a fat bike with a 125 cc engine on it for the trips back up hill.

    Samurai MPG?

    My tin top got 30mpg with 205/70X15's. It gets 28mpg with 235/75X15's. My soft top gets 25mpg with 235/75X15's. Both have stock 1300 cc engines and original gearing. The tin top would run a little over 70mph with the small tires, it will just barely run 60mph with the 235's (GPS speeds).

    Series 3 "barn find", Savannah GA

    " From the looks of this trailer park, I doubt it'd be hard to convince the owner to let go of it." Don't get your hopes up. From the looks of the Land Rover, the owner knows what it is. Clean, new tires, Land Rover in the background, etc...

    Hi-Lift First Responder Jack

    I hope it's self lubricating. My Hi-Lift never works without liberal amounts of some kind of slippery liquid applied to the moving parts. Twenty years ago when I was volunteering for everything (Firefighter, LEO, rescue) I used my Hi-Lift pretty often. We used it for all the regular stuff...

    4cyl Wrangler MPG?

    Keep the Land Rover for pulling the boat and get a $1500 Suzuki Samurai for everything else. The Samurai will easily get 25 mpg, cheaper insurance/taxes, and it's fun to drive. A slightly modified Samurai with 1.6 engine, air conditioning, and 31 inch tires would be the cat's (car's) meow.

    Very cool trailer build out of a Montero.

    "Cool hay difficult that will be register at local DMW (Instead build eye drop )" Being a Southerner, I feel I'm qualified to translate this phrase. I like your trailer. It will be difficult to get a vehicle identification number from the Department of Motor Vehicles. Perhaps you should have...
