    Bench Race: Budget Crawler(s)

    Apparently you've watched me bend tube.... 5 minutes to make a bend, 2 hours to stare at it :rofl: True on the LS - a junkyard 5.3 isn't much more than a junkyard 4.3. Either way harness needs to be worked over.

    Bench Race: Budget Crawler(s)

    I've been around long enough to understand the build v. buy... It's kind of a bucket list thing for me, and I'm in a point in my life where I can put some good time to it this fall/winter and into next year. What's your opinion on airshocks? Your first version on the buggy had them, did you...

    Bench Race: Budget Crawler(s)

    How would you spec out a budget crawler? Selling our TJ made sense when I did it... but now I want something to wheel again. We considered a family rig for awhile, but I think I'd like to undertake a buggy project. Having 2 rigs would overcome a lot of the problems we had with wheeling, so I...

    Unless something big has changed in the last couple years I would say definitely not

    Lets see your campers and what you tow with.

    Benefits of owning a crawler: all future projects will seem super easy and cheap. Seriously, we redid the entire interior in a maybe a month, just working on it 3-4 evenings/week. We did IKEA couch and table to replace the foldout bed and dinette. Way more useful.

    Lets see your campers and what you tow with.

    We're on week 2 of a 5 month tour in ours. Currently in Atlanta, the ol' duramax pulled the 2k miles without complaining (at 9mpg). 2011 2500 Duramax, 2005 Jayco Eagle Bunkhouse. Did some renovation on the interior to make it less camper and more livable.

    CJ trail rig for $8k. Needs some finishing but is a REALLY solid collection of parts

    Dang, looks pretty close. Why get so far along and abandon ship? Seems like a good price, I need this like a toothache but it's actually tempting. I really need to get back into a rig.

    Another KX250 Project...

    KLX 450 headlight would be an awesome look for that bike. It's coming along nicely!

    East Coast - Must See Destinations

    Great suggestions so far, keep them coming. This is one I've wondered about... I went to Bergen-Belsen concentration camp (in Germany) last year with the wife. Wondering if the US perspective would be worth it? - - - Updated - - - Ford museum sounds awesome! May have to reroute a bit and...

    Beautiful truck. Registration renewal is a foreign concept? :laughing:

    Taxes

    Used an accountant for many years. This year decided to do my own as his fees were becoming ridiculous (and I'm in accounting, but not tax). Used turbo tax and was pretty impressed

    King of the Hammers live coverage

    Just read on FB that Wayland actually finished first, but Shannon won on corrected time. What took Wayes out? Looked around and haven't seen what happened
