I own a vehicle powered by an open software, open hardware ECU/PCM. My megasquirt equipped vehicle has, at times, suffered from software bugs. The most it has ever done is caused the engine to stall, and the transmission to get stuck in first once. The nice thing is, I can plug in my laptop, and download all the…

Its a limitation of their electronic odometers. OBS ford pickup trucks do it too. After 97, they went back to analog odometers until later on in the 2000s.

I dont know what 1980s ford econoline vans are made out of, but there are more of them for sale in my local auto classifieds than any other vehicle.

There were some aftermarket fiberglass bodies. but, other than some very special low production scouts (the RV scout comes to mind) there weren't any with factory fiberglass.

There is nothing but storage and some radiators for the brakes under the hood. The engine is in the back.

Insurance rates on the SRT4/ACR are/were insane. I owned an ACR, with no accidents, no tickets, no points, excellent credit, and same insurance company for 10 years. Single/male/28. Insurance was 1800/yr.

Hold on! I need to write a sensationalist headline!

Well, clearly, that's a new version of the B40. Shame on BAW, honestly.

BAW was making clones, but OPs is closer to the actual jeep than I have seen in the past. Are you sure that isn't a license built unit? They were building XJs under a legit license recently.

Explorers and Jeeps without the factory hardtop are NO! at U-Haul.

Dude with Ford Explorer Sport-Trac (Different Chassis/Vehicle)

They shared 80% of their sheet metal. The chassis is identical, they were built on the same line. Its not platform sharing, they started off as shells of the same design and had slightly different hoods and front fascias. Their doors, glass, mechanics, etc are a 100% swap. There are some different moldings on the…

Ford Explorer

I dont see International Harvester....

The other option is its much bigger cousin, the Coronado. However, there are only one of those still in existence, and i doubt it can fly.

The Catalina PBY. Armed, capable of landing without runways on any large body of water, capable of landing ON runways, capable of landing on DIRT STRIPS. It has a range of 2500 miles, and could easily carry 4000lbs of dirtbikes, food, water, and reasonable sleeping accommodations. Its cruise speed is 120mph, which…

Its worth it. Legal weights are important. I have gotten scaled several times (my rig is actually a western star turned into a toterhome). Dude behind me was 300lbs over, the ticket was ASTRONOMICAL (1200USD). I got lucky, my toter home uses class 8 truck tires@120 PSI :D Not Smooth, but I rolled past that scale…

Do it by age.

I've been in the YT with my rig. Vast stretches of nothing and tress, but that's what I like. Very pretty.

Especially when a tank is 100+ gallons. I got a 98 40' pusher with a Cat 500hp. I know the hurt. It has a pair of 90 gallon tanks. When i get .5mpg more, thats the same as getting 10 free gallons of diesel. At today's prices, thats 45 bucks a tank!
