    Do MRAP aluminium 10 bolt wheels fit on a 10 lug SBU? Any issues?

    $500 each for new (5-6 years old) 395 85 R16 XZLs and aluminium wheels seems like a no brainer if they just bolt on. Any reason to use the steel unimog wheels rather than MRAP wheels (assuming they fit).

    SBU, how much cab corrision is too much corrosion, and what to do about it.

    Getting down to the wire on my SBU and the one I quite like has some corrosion in the back corner and along the bottom edge of the door. To have it professionally repaired seems to be thousands, but if I just leave it be is that going to cause structural issues? What do I need to check on the...

    Where to buy a square mog? Advice?

    It is time for another vehicle (anyone who follows me knows I have one of everything) and I have had a desire for a mog since I missed out on U500 locally for $50k and change 7 or so years ago. Having realized that a U500 is basically non-existent at what I would be willing to pay and also...

    Transmission options for 1998 K1500 suburban, need expedition level reliable

    After a cooler line rotted out and dumped the fluid, the trans in my suburban is now slipping, what is the best option to replace? As much as I would like a manual, I already have a new jasper autotrac t-case and I understand I would have to change that so I am probably leaning toward a stock...

    Rust Proofing a 2016 Tacoma and other questions

    Just bought a 2016 SR ACLB 4x4 manual utility package. Black exterior to hide the fact it has black bumpers. Expo white looked ridiculous. I hate rust. On a Land Rover, I know everything that will rust and know how to deal with it. Of course, a couple of my rovers have new galvanized...

    RHD to LHD conversion on troopy?

    How challenging is this to do? There are a good number of reasonably rust free RHD 1HZ importable troopy land cruisers finally available for not a ton of money (Japan, but also Australia where $5000 aust seems to get a high miles decent one), but I have yet to find one in LHD. On a defender...

    GF wants one, I don't feel like haggling and shopping and don't care what dealer it comes, I just want to order it and get one relatively promptly (so she stops driving my jag) and exactly how I spec it (white or dune, black cloth, auto, hardtop, auto climate control, max tow, whatever I need...

    Considering W250 cummins auto 4x4, please help a wandering land rover guy.

    A very late first gen W250 has come up for sale locally. Standard cab and auto, but 4x4 and an LE and not rusted out like most of them. What should I look out for? Will it likely have D60s or D61? I would want to add a topper. Are they dodge specific or any 8ft topper should work? How much...

I will start with...

    Just joined the trailer club after year plus long search: venturecraft trailblazer!

    Just picked it up off a friend on D-90.com Waiting for it to make its way down to me, but for the price of a decent RTT I got a whole trailer! I spent forever looking for a coleman colorado or a scamp or boler or apache, but none were local enough or priced right or in good shape and none of...

    Without a build sheet, how can I tell what options a U500 has?

    Looking at one tomorrow. I know it does not have variopilot and I know it does not have CTIS. I want to know about PTO/Hydraulic options mainly. Also, is the buildsheet somewhere in/on the truck?

    1995 Defender 90 Soft Top AA Yellow

    Since I bought my first D90 back I am parting ways with chicky, my current D90. She has just over 150k on her, but has been religiously maintained (I am the third owner and have had her about a year -- long enough to get her sorted out as I know defenders very well -- the second owner owned her...

    Making an offroad pop-up: what to look for in a donor?

    I want to build a cheapish off-road pop-up. There are a bunch of decent pop-ups locally for $1000 or less and I want to take one and put a better frame under it and put bigger wheels/tires/axle. So my question is, what should I look for in a donor pop-up? I was thinking of an 80s coleman as...
