    Desert Mountain today

    Think almost to Delta.

    U Cart

    You are saying for the job, right? I don't think any of the trailers I used would handle more than 1 1/4 yards or so.

    U Cart

    I was pouring into forms and a homemade chute. The dumper was way more accurate and easy to get a small amount in a certain spot - just tilt the dumper enough and guide it with a shovel. The mixer I used, you just reverse direction and concrete comes out all over kersplat! Either would be...

    U Cart

    I've used them several times, both the carts that have a mini mixer and the ones that are just a big dump bed. Good results in each circumstance. The quality of concrete from the mini mixer was probably better, but the dump trailers were easier to pour from and control delivery. My situation...

    Know your limits.

    This is not necessarily true in Utah at least. For recreational or personal use, a CDL is not required. Copy from page 1-1 of the Utah CDL manual: "The following are exempt from the CDL requirements: farm, firefighter, etc, etc... • Recreational vehicles that are not used in commerce and...

    suburban 2500

    I, too, think 18 is a pipe dream with the 6.0. I can just barely get that with my 5.3 if I stay below 80 mph and no trailer. I'd like to hear how if anyone else can do that.

    suburban 2500

    Not sure what years you are looking for. The 5.7 liters are kindof pigs by modern standards - hopeully you are looking for something newer. 5.3 liter is fairly anemic for towing anything sizeable. The 6.0 liter is the ticket for towing, although like you say, they are gas hogs. I've had a...

    Big Kitty

    I love mountain biking that trail with the boys! Pretty cool that big of a cat is that close to everything.

    GM is closing Hummer production

    H1 was/is a great vehicle for what it was designed for: All purpose high-speed desert machine. When you get outside of those parameters, they are less attractive. I agree completely that the H2 was a pointless poser device. I'd rather have a built up Tahoe or Suburban than one of those...

    Failed Inspection what now?

    Sorry to disagree, but it sounds like the dealership is doing the buyer and original seller a favor to save sales tax by passing it through their books without marking it up. Any flack this seller gives the dealer may just make that deal go bad. Pony up for some cheap temporary alterations...

    So how much clearance is high clearance?

    I have 18" to the pumpkin. I think the trails are referring to something with pickup or better type clearance.

    Feeler how would you guys like a ... during EJS

    I agree. Those who know about BFE may already have been exposed to the concept of responsible trail use. One of the parks in Moab comes to mind where you might get the message out to a wider group.

    General Tech Is this To LOW?

    They are cool to show off. I'd steer clear of them on serious stuff. They are built for controlled speed use with implements - I've seen them grenade under high torque loads.

    Best platform for street legal crawler

    If a full size bronco is too big and heavy, then money is not the only reason to stay away from a mog!

    The Movie Transformers

    Saw it opening day. Pretty good story. Great car chase scenes.

    Day trip recomendations from Moab?

    My personal favorites - Take the truck or the Jeep out on the Schaeffer trail to Musselman arch. Then turn around and go up the switch-backs to the top, follow up with the sunset from Dead Horse Point. Except for a few places to get out and look around, a lot of this can be done in the a/c...

    Transmission Shop Recommendation

    I've found the guys at Tourist Auto down on 11th? and State really know what they are doing. Bought parts from them to DIY and had them put in a couple of rebuilds.

    Definitely check out VWVortex.com. Also specifically for the TDI, dig into TDIClub.com.

    Save the Oil, Save the World...

    I love my 02 TDI. It is my main commuting/road trip vehicle. I consistently get 48 mpg. Just turned over 100k miles with no big problems to speak of. With the little mod Brad referred to above, I have been able to get close to 800 miles on a tank. It is just plain fun to fill the tank and...
