AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
I love the truck...AND the fact its a Diesel..even better...
but, you need to get some tires on that thing!!!! Its begging for a set of BFG MTs!!
The thing is that this pickup will be my go to town pickup and trailer puller, so I've got to keep the height reasonable for the gooseneck trailers. Also those 33" Yokohoma Geolanders have like 97% tread on them... I've driven less than 10,000 miles on those tires!
I was at a military surpluss auction and we had to leave for a bit, but while we were gone I missed out on two full sets of 36" Hummer tires mounted on 8 lug rims. They sold for less than $100 per set! I was definately kicking myself for that....
That would have been awsome, relase value alone would have been worth it....
Do you have to be in the military to go to the auctions? That sounds like a pretty dang cool thing.
No you don't have to be in the military to go to them, it was just a local army surpluss store that also happened to be a recycling facility. They decided to get out of the surpluss end of it so they could pursue the recycling side even more. The guy also had a shop where they fixed up unimogs and 6x6's for resale to the public. Pretty sweet operation really.
I did manage to buy a junked 6x6 for a whopping $295 dollars though! You can bet it will have bigger tires on it than my pickup!

Nice looking Jeep. Those tires sure look small. Are they 33x10 or something?
yeah, in the second picture they look sooo small. i took about 50 pictures and that was the best one, and it was getting dark. lol. the front weel is still turned for the first pic, in the second pic. i was going to get some good pictures of it climbing stuff at the ranch, but, we forgot the camera... that makes me sad too, because we found a huuuge snake in a grove of trees. we hitailed it out of there, i dont want to die. lol.
