Drove past the old Safari shops in Grand Junction yesterday. Sad to see the place in its forlorn, abandoned state. Will anybody ever re-open that place as some kind of off-road center? Sure would be nice if there was SOMEPLACE one could take a Toyota something-or-other, even if it is an all-day...

In the "Commercial Trucks" dept. on EBay is a low-mileage Peterbilt 357 6X6 truck: 300 hp Cummins, 6 speed automatic, 114,000 miles, big winch on front, owned by a utility company in New Jersey. These 357 6X6s are very sturdy trucks and this might make a low-cost alternative for a big off-road...

Anyone know anything about CruiserFest 2016, such as where and when? I hope we're gonna have one this year...

:sombrero:Well, my welder would build it, not me. Would mount on my 1.5 ton Chev 3500 HD 4x4 with 10 foot flatbed. The box, as I envision it, would be like an Alaskan non-cabover, made out of diamond plate aluminum, with all the internal trimmings. total length about 9'6", and 8' width. I'd...

Due to the untimely death of the 6.5 GM diesel in my '94 3500 HD last winter, I've decided to do a transplant: a Cummins 12-valve P-pump engine. The truck is unusual - GM produced the 3500 HD (15,000 GVW) in 2-wheel-drive, but if you wanted one in 4X4, the dealer would send it off to Tulsa...

:Wow1: I've acquired a nice used Peterbilt 357 6X6 truck for a very reasonable price. Low miles, C15 CAT engine, 18speeds, 22K front axle and 46K rears, double-framed, air suspension, etc. What am I going to do with it? Well, it would make a nice base for a GXV-type camper. Has a 220 inch...

:Wow1:If you're looking for a seriously large off-road truck, you might want to check out these used 2007 Peterbilt 357 6X6 tractors for sale in Washington. 22K front axle, 46K rears, C15 Cat diesel, 18-speeds, 36-inch sleepers, and very low mileage. Probably a bit pricey, but built to last...

If you (yes, YOU, the guy with the goofy grin) could purchase a newish Tundra, fit in a decent diesel engine (maybe the new V-8 Cummins), and install Dana 60 axles... Would it be worth doing? Is the basic Tundra well enough built so that someone who knows what they're doing might think it...

That motorcycles don't have heated seats as standard equipment? Maybe they do, on touring bikes, etc, but you'd think all of them would by now. I'd like one on the GS because my butt is getting a bit chilled.:snorkel:

Rescue and recovery operations are ongoing in southwest Utah due to flash flooding from record monsoonal rains. If you would like to assist, please contact the Kane County Sheriff's Office in Kanab, UT.

Just returned from SAR mission(s) in Kane County, UT after flash floods from monsoonal rains. Several persons still missing in Zion N.P. NPS, UTNG, Utah and AZ DPS along with local county SAR teams will be involved in recovery efforts for probably the remainder of this week. If you have a 4x4...

Got a 2010 1200 GS with 18K miles the other day. Luggage things are big enough to rent out for wedding receptions, and lots of driving lights, airhorns, etc. Only weighs about 14,000 pounds. Great bike to ride around town - smooth, fairly quiet, very technical-looking...:sombrero:

I need some 1/4 inch thick (.25") titanium sheet, grade 5 will do, about 400 square inches. Probably should not have "Property Of U.S. Air Force" stamped on it anywhere.

So it appears that Miller is severing its ties with the Tooele facilities - this year will be the last time the Cruiserfest will be held there. Will the Museum itself be relocated? Anyone have any ideas where C-Fest will go? Where would YOU (yes, you) like to see it move to?

Being a road test and overview of the 1290 cc KTM dual-sport thing in the latest issue of Psycho World. Correction: that's Cycle World. Anyone out there have one, or familiar with it? will it be "better" than the current KTM Adventure?

I've heard that the KTM 1190 Adventure bike is prone to mechanical failures, and that the machine is also maintenance intensive - more so, perhaps, than other, similar bikes. Is this also true of the Super Duke road bike? I'm asking because I've got the opportunity to purchase a demo model at a...

This is the vehicle used to transport the Abrams tank, and other extremely large and heavy things. Quite a few for sale on E-BAY these days; 500 HP 8V92, 8X8, Allison automatic, massive winch, etc etc. They're being advertised for about 10 cents on the dollar. Very cool if you like really big...

Who out there has converted their vehicle(s) to LED headlights? I'm talking about the real-deal, high-dollar items. I'm thinking about doing this to our large (40 foot) diesel motorhome, and I'm looking for feedback as to how satisfied you are with the conversion. This is, of course, for...

RE: Front Runner fuel cans Has anyone had any issues with the caps on the black metal Front Runner 5 gal fuel cans? Just got some and, after getting the caps open - which wasn't easy - they will not return to their down and locked position. Strange. By the way, "black metal" is what the cans...

Anyone use this tent? Opinions? Would you do it again?:Wow1:
