    2008 M116A1 Trailer and a one-time trip with a Four Wheel Camper [Sanity Check]

    Hey everyone! Last summer, I finished my old Coleman pop up. https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/1974-coleman-valley-forge-complete-gut-job.204401/ It's pretty sweet, but I cant bring much else besides the camper when I go with the pop up. Last week, I returned from a deployment to...

    Indecision, the (Ford) Used Diesel Market and the Year 2021 - Need a sanity check

    Hey everyone, I'm in the market for a used truck. Not to seem rude up front, but Im only interested in Ford only. I'm mainly debating between F250/F350 with 7.3L (New Body Style) or 6.7L (2015/2016-ish). Backstory. In 2012, I bought a 1995 F250 Extended Cab (4x4, 7.3L w/225,000 miles). I...

    1974 Coleman Valley Forge - Complete gut job

    My dad bought this thing long ago. I figured I'd revive it and use it as a fly fishing setup. I brought out new wheels and tires, installed them, and towed it home. Then I opened it up for the first time since 2004. Mental note: open camper FIRST, then spend money on rolling stock. It was a...

    TACO Derpreciation?

    My dad has an '05 Tacoma 4 door 4x4. Paid $28,000 for it new . My mom just rolled it. She's OK. Busted in the glass and kinda crushed the top and doors. The insurance company said they would only give him book value of $18,000. They wouldnt total it I guess. Truck WAS in pretty good shape...

    They make a trailer w/ dirt bike mod?

    I own a Toyota FJ, and dont do a lot of true hardcore off-roading. When I do, its not really too bad. That is what my baja prepped Honda XR600R is for. I am planning a trip to go home to Montana this summer, and show the state off to my city slicker wife, who grew up on Lawn Guyland (Long...
