X2 ^^ I have always built what I want, cause , what I want isn't factory made. Seems cheaper to maintain what you want in the long run , says someone on a "fixed income" Technology is getting better, but most people I know [ mostly geezers ] can't afford 50-60k, My Grandmother , back in the...

I guess I'll be crossing chevy/gmc off my wish list... :)

X2 ^^

Thank you , I'm probably going to get the c rated for my needs, but one question , does going to these heavier tires affect your overall mpg's ?

I wouldn't count on the Jeeps if your stuck up to your axle.

After all this rhetoric what is the "fine" for being a disobedient soldier in Oregon or any other state for that matter ? Seems to me, if a "trooper" has the time to stop you and take measurements, it might be time to take issue with the criteria of the "law". Mickey

I have a Ford Ranger w/4wc Eagle, The stock truck tires are SL or "P", just too soft with the camper on full time. In summer 50/50 FS roads and hiway.

Thanks ski, I have read your blog and seen many of the same places in my younger years. I'm leaning toward Cooper AT-3's Load range C , one of the few Decent tire co. that offer "C", I don't think I'm hauling around that much weight to justify 10 ply tires, though i'm not afraid to tackle a...

Yes Sir, truck camper. I also have the same truck w/an Eagle

Imho, If you find one, and are willing to drive [ i traveled from four corners to Missoula, Montana] and offered 10% less than asking and still the seller still bucked, but, finally buckled when I said I was on my way with $100 dollar bills ! Just be ready and willing , a LOT of people are...

Kinda figured, I would imagine you air them down from the recommended 70-80 psi ?

Is it safe to say that most "tc" trucks are riding on 10ply tires as opposed to 6 ply tires ?

Not sure if I would EVER be capable of figuring all that out.. Have a safe trip, sounds fun.

Hi y'all , looking for mosquito netting and ran across an ARB mosquito net , basically a tent that attaches to their [ purchased separately ] ARB awing .. I called Autoanything, they have the best price , and ARB states that their mosquito tent thingy is NOT compatible with any other awning...

Pretty good ideas how to remedy your issue, had the problem on my '05 Eagle , best way is to find a little aluminum flashing [ ACE hardware has it] and start fiddling with it around the pilot and burner area till you get it where you like it. As far as running the propane while driving, been...

Maybe try what you're thinking and let us know how it works out, ie: build a better mouse trap.

Thats great ...

Just made one for my Eagle using1/2 x 24" galvanized pipe threaded both ends 2 floor flanges , one screwed to floor the other screwed to a 16"x24" laminated poplar shelf custom sized and Varathaned , all from Lowes . Hardest part was chiseling under the front part of the rollover couch to get...

I have a 2000 Ford Ranger 4.0 l auto / 4WC Eagle on full time, 0-60 mph 15 secs [ just a guess ], combined hiway/city 15-16. :D

Very nice.. do you mind if I ask what size and length struts you used, diy install ?

This discussion sounds like GMC or Chevy which is best... imho

Nice... great enthusiasm = fun

Definitely a fixer upper, but a good find if'n your handy.. congratulations.

Went to Lowes yesterday for little camper goodies, in the electrical isle I noticed "christie" electrical boxes. Picked one 16'hx18"Lx12"deep, $14.00 figured I could use as storage when traveling and a step when camping. For my Ranger/Eagle combo it's perfect height , and still pull the boat/atv's.

Have the same issue here, I haven't figured a way to stretch the fabric far enough to glue/silicon to track, any thoughts ?
