    NJ seeks to ban MV's in state forests

    Mudlord, what is your avatar? I have been traveling and wheeling the pines since the 60's. I have seen it all back there. I was good friends with chief Ranger Langdon In the 80's and he told me that the behavior was going to be the downfall of the wheelers. We used to have a couple of areas that...

    M1009 Odometer (getting rolled back?)

    There is only ONE way the mileage goes backwards and it is not legal. And yes it is human intervention. You probably need to find a different caretaker for your truck before you come back to a pile of wreckage! I am sure there are a lot of stories around town about your truck while you were...

    Gilbert 2012 Want/Bring/looking for list

    I sent an E-mail to Jim, I will resend it. I don't mind paying and where I was parked was well out of the way of vendors and traffic. After the debacle I had at Aberdeen if I can't find a quiet spot then I will not go. Rick

    Gilbert 2012 Want/Bring/looking for list

    Still waiting to hear about camping arrangements. I have an e-mail out to Jim Gilmore but have not heard back. If I do not hear back within the next week I will have to blow it off. I have to give work vacation notice. Rick

    Smoke ?

    It is a mechanically injected, naturally aspirated, Non computer controlled, 30 year old engine. It is pretty amazing that they do not smoke a lot more than they do. Rick

    Going to live in my deuce in Oklahoma....

    Paragraph one...........BINGO. Paragraph two............You may have just fallen into the best deal of your life, do not abuse it. Do NOT talk about your parents while there. I suggest you just put your parents out of your mind altogether and just move on. Prove to them you can do this and do...

    Going to live in my deuce in Oklahoma....

    You are headed in the right direction and you are realizing what the issues and problems are. Including not wanting to rid yourself of the vehicles. I would be VERY careful of that living arrangement bacause nothing in life is free. You move in with three women and you are in for a world of...

    Going to live in my deuce in Oklahoma....

    Listening to you talk you are up and down drastically. You really should talk to a counselor. I am not trying to be a smart azz here, you have some anger issues to deal with. You seem to hate your family with a passion. Your finances are not going to magically repair themselves like you seem to...

    Death of a M1031

    And to add insult to injury what do you see in the last pic of the totaled truck? FORKLIFT damage! Go figure. Those guys are real lucky that nothing come through the box and back of the cab. I have seen a lot of accidents with those types of trucks where the stuff in the back comes right through...

    Man down, MAN DOWN

    I learned a long time ago, never run automotive (light truck) tires on a tandem axle trailer. They can not handle the side loads. Use only trailer tires which are marked ST on the sidewall. Rick

    Sold a 1031, titling issues with new buyer, need advise.

    They are working this out peacefully on their own now and you are trying to rile them up. That is stirring the pot. How about for once we let one run it's coarse quietly? Rick

    US6 found

    Driveshafts are out AND a couple axles are out. I am guessing you might be looking at something locked up. It is in amazing condition though.

    Sold a 1031, titling issues with new buyer, need advise.

    Scarryy, This does not mean it was right but it is true that a lot of trucks are sold this way so I do not think there was any malice there. I was also going to say I thought you two were handling this quite well and was going to admonish those that are trying to get you two to fight and then...

    military convoy

    I would think if someone were going to hijack guns from a military convoy they would be prepared for a lot more than one gun per vehicle. That type of an operation would be fairly well thought out and planned. Rick

    transmission swaps

    Bigger is not always better. Like I said, If you are tearing up 400's then you either need a different tranny builder or you need to figure out what YOU, not the tranny, is doing wrong. Built right these transmissions are almost indestructible. If you are tearing up the 400's then you will tear...

    military convoy

    More than once I have been waved into the convoy line at JBMDL. I live along the ranges so I have to use the same road as they do and yes they are armed with live ammo. Difference being is that I am waved into the line by them, it is obvious I am not military. I am in civvies and driving a 50...
