    Truck shopping

    I found my 01 2500 8.1L big block suburban and my other somewhat rare car on carguru.com. aside: I can't imagine spending 80k on a truck. F that noise. My 5k truck is great. also, if you like the v10, you may find the 8.1L to be as good or better in a chevy. the gmt800 platform is as every...

    What do you drive for a truck?

    We had hilux's and new 70 series LC's when I was working in moomba/innaminka around 2013. They were fantastic. I would gladly take a 70 single cab ute bed. They were all outfitted with large fuel tanks, bumpers, lifts, tires, etc.

    track width adjustment

    can the rim and wheel plate be in any orientation to get the width you want? I have a 4720H and the 3 point stabilizer bars are too close to the tires since i installed the pat's system to run my tire chains. it appears that I can put the hoop on the rim on the outside instead of the inside of...
