    Thoughts on a Cummins Mega Cab

    Here is my situation; my wife and I have 3 kids. We own an 07 Camry and an 87 Ramcharger. I have a 2011 Ram company truck, but is not supposed to be used for personal travel other than around town. Both of our cars are paid for and I don't have to spend a dime on the Ram, even for car washes...

    Ramcharger Project

    It's pretty much a done deal, so I figured I'd start a thread. I'm picking it up on Sunday. 1987 Dodge Ramcharger, 318, TF727, NP208, open diffs, 67k original miles, 2 1/2" add a leaf lift, BFG ATs on 15x10 Eagles. NEW PARTS: New Headliner New brakes, pads, shoes, and lines rebuilt...

    Mo miles, mo problems?

    This one is for the diesel guys; what do you own, how many miles does it have on it and how many engine related problems have you had thus far? I'm still not really set on anything in particular and have found some diesels with higher mileage (200-300k) and am wonder what I have to look forward...

    Anyone grind their own grain?

    I bought my wife a grain mill for her birthday. One of her friends from our homeschooling group does it and gave us some flour that she ground herself. We made pancakes with it one morning and it tastes SO much better. It is also healthier and has more protein than enriched flour that you buy at...

    Ramcharger, Bronco or K5?

    I'm talking about late model of each. Both have EFI, both have good V8s and autos, minimal computer/electronics, pretty much the same except for one has TTB and the other has SFA. I figure the Bronco may ride a little smoother due to the TTB front end. Anything that may make one better than the...

    Anybody have a WJ?

    I haven't seen any on here but figured someone would have some good info. They can be found for pretty cheap even with a 4.7 V8. I'm not too keen on the unibody construction but I also doubt that I would wheel it hard enough to tweak the body. The solid axle really appeals to me though and...

    FS: The Blue Ox II

    Well, it's time. I' making a transfer within the company and to another city that will allow me to have a truck for work and personal use. Since I owe money on the Ox, it's up for sale to help fund a large down payment on a new house. 2005 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab TRD Off-Road 76.5K miles...

    Tires: When is it time to replace them?

    This is the first 4x4 I have owned long enough to have to replace the tires on. Right now, I have ~4/32s left on my ProComp MTs and I'm wondering if they are ok to run to AR for the Fall Foliage trip and back. I'm not worried about them on the road, I'm more worried about them off-road. They...

    Synthetic combo not offered on Winchline.com anymore?

    I'm looking at winches on winchline.com and they don't have the synthetic winch packages like they used to. Is that by request only now?

    Angel Fire, NM 7/17-24/10

    I took the wife and kids to NM for a week of vacation. We visited the surrounding cities of Taos, Eagles Nest and Red River and pretty much just enjoyed some much needed time off from work. We left Houston at 8:30PM on 7/16, drove all night and made it to AF at 1:30PM on 7/17. A brutal drive...

    Diesel Hiluxes

    I don't know why all you Tacoma owners are so ga-ga over them. I drove one for ~ 3 hours in the Tunisian desert today and don't see what the big deal is. Yeah, they have marginally better torque but the power is terrible. You have to downshift for any hill and all that was in the truck was me, a...

    FS: Toyota steel wheels

    Silver spoke wheel with decent tire (off of '86 4Runner) - $20 White painted wheels with bald tires (off of '84 4Runner) - $30/both If needed, I guess I could break the tires down off of the wheels and ship the wheels at the buyer's expense. Pics:

    1986 Toyota 4Runner

    It's time for me to sell and get something with 4 doors. See the link in my signature for all the details of the build. I bought the truck with 210K on the clock, it now has a little over 215K. It was not a DD when I had a bike, but after I wrecked the bike and sased the 4Runner, I started...

    Question to those with diesels

    I have my 4runner up for sale and at first was looking at buying a Tacoma. The Cummins Rams have me interested though. My question is, since they are so heavy, do you find yourselves stuck a lot or hung up, etc? The Taco is much lighter but has a much lower hauling capacity. Thoughts on why I...
