Like Mitsubishi and others, the contracts for licensed Jeep's goes back to WWII. First Ford made the GPW to support the war effort; Willys simply couldn't build enough. Post war, Mahindra, Mitsubishi and others licensed with Willys to make their own Jeeps. Mitsubishi made a lot of "Willys...

They're generally not street registerable. They are licensed thru Jeep, and registered as a side-by-side in most of the US. Might as well get a base model Jeep

All of the Willy's/Jeep MB/GPW/CJ series were too, from WWII until 1971. Even then some folks would add them so they had that extra capacity in addition to the new rear tanks. Back in the 1970's I remember people also adding a tank under the passenger seat, to match the one under the driver seat.

Economy of scale to support two platforms? Cheaper in the long run to only support one platform?

We found a similar thing for my wife's Subaru. Works great; no more start/stop...!

A Flight Radar search for "TKR" will bring up fire Tankers(planes, not Water Tenders aka Tankers on the east coast US). of of the 10Tanker DC-10's was flying on the Gifford Fire yesterday. Looks like a Neptune BAe-146 is fly on that fire today.

Not sure about your application, but when I switched my old Kubota B8200 from R3 turf to R4, the rim size was different was different for turf vs R4. I looked at R1 and the rim size for the factory spec tire was a different size rim too(R1 was narrower tire and rim front and rear). And, all of...

Haha, I remember that song from Scouts in the mid 1970's :D

I started this thread, because I did not really notice... I just happened to need to use the restroom. When I came out, I noticed the right rear was flat, and had steel wire poking out the side in a couple of places. I was on two-lane kind of windy 50mph road outside of Napa Ca. I've towed...

I was fortunate my tire did not come apart. I've seen pictures of RV's and 5th wheels with the sides all torn torn up because of tread separation. That is part of the reason for asking about TPMS; I was lucky this time but don't want to tempt fate.

Sounds like might have fuel supply issues. If the fuel bowl isn't full, then pull the line and run to a clean container. Do you get good flow, not gunk? Check the fuel cap too; it might not be venting correctly. Even when I change filters, if I don't get the air out completely, it only takes a...

My TC40D is the same; neutral and brake set.

Coming in late, but I thought Cowboy Coffee was made in a coffee can, with a coat hanger as a bail. That's the way my Grandmother used to make it over a campfire. Her and Grandpa called it Cowpoke Coffee.

Had a flat on the 5th wheel coming home from the coast yesterday. Fortunately no rim of trailer body damage. Starting to look at aftermarket TPMS; anyone have any experience with them? Had a couple thoughts about it: - Add a TPMS for the 5th wheel - Add a TPMS for the 5th wheel AND the truck...
