Americans don't actually have a sense for utility and practicality, they just decorate their lives with the popular perception of these things to appear more rugged and independent. You could probably offroad a Geo Metro to where they're going in these trucks.

You'd think so, but I don't actually like the '50s Chevy cab very much, it's merely the only one I could find a decent model of. My favorite COE is probably the oval grille Ford because it's so uncompromisingly streamlined towards a single, utterly simplistic geometric feature that it arguably makes it a piece of automotive design history.

Eh CB is usually 27mhz.
Only FCC licensed operators are allowed in the 400mhz range, here even with the license we only use 420-450.
The first CB radios were actually in the 400mhz band but they were deemed to expensive for the public so they changed to a 27mhz radio.
When you say CB to us, it is a 27mhz radio.
Oddly enough though, Australia actually started with 27mhz for CB but that fell out of popularity with the usage of the 400mhz radios.
So there is CB and UHF CB.

>why would a non cb radio be on a car
CB has a very short range and won't help you if you run into trouble in the middle of bumfuck nowhere. It's really only useful for talking to any other cars you're travelling with.

HF radios and/or Satellite phones are common among the long-distance touring set here in Australia.

There's commercial HF services as well as the Amateur stuff.

Is it a bad idea to ignore half tons if I'm looking for a reliable pickup?

It seems like every half ton I've looked at has been beat to shit and poorly maintained by high schoolers, college kids, mexicans or rednecks, and with the lower quality parts compared to bigger trucks by the time they get traded in to dealers they're 10k mi away from exploding.
Seems like 3/4, 1, and some 1/4 ton trucks don't see this abuse because they're used more by responsible adults or companies with good maintenance practices.

Am I being too picky or does this sound somewhat reasonable? My budget is about $15k in Texas, to give you an idea about what my selection looks like.

It's a conversion by an Austrian company in cooperation with Suzuki and to my understanding can officially be bought from Suzuki dealers in Austria. Includes heavy duty springs for a total of 455kg / 1003lbs load capacity and costs a whopping 255€ more than a base Jimny (tarp and ladder rack not included).

Apparently the Samurai and Jimny are rather popular as super compact snow plows in the alpine region.

Cool thanks. Hopefully can sell the sedan quickly enough not to miss this one. I prefer doing my own maintenance work, so I like that it's easy to work on for the cheap.

lol i have 10-12gb of pictures and always expanding, anything particular you want me to dump? as far as the v6 fullsizes i would stay away, i had a 4.3L RCLB silverado that was gutless and drank just as much gas as my v8 half tons did. only exception would be the inline 6 in the fords. that thing is god tier

Buddy in high school had a RCSB F-150 with the 300 and the 5 speed.

Slow as hell but he always had it overloaded for scrap. Trans blew up at like 280k and the frame was splitting (rust belt ftw) so he junked it.

Actually another friend from hs with one only its a long box. Its caught on fire before, is rusting to hell, and has a different bald ass tire on all 4 corners.

>mfw I go home and visit everyone and at one point he pops the clutch in a gravel parking lot and just one tire fires out of there because lol no posi and gravel = skids

i still have the engine/trans/rear axle but the rest of it was parted out. its a dog from the factory but if you put the mercruiser intake manifold and injectors into it, decent cam and a tune you will be surprised how quick they are

>>14075616
No one cares.

>>14075617
Why'd you part it out? Rust?

Also, what are the guts going to go in?

Raylar seems to make the best parts because they're marine grade, but something tells me a 454 makes sense on just about every possible front for building.

all the body panels were junk, i wanted the springs for my duramax and i had a few buddies who wanted parts off of it, i kept a few parts and sold the frame the rest was scrapped. the engine and trans are going in my k10 and the rear end is a backup for the d-max.

I'm a welder currently saving up for my own custom flat bed cummins to put my Lincoln on. Pic related on what I'm gonna buy next year

Need opinions on a Ford Ranger SPLASH, 5spd 2.3 twinspark. Asking $700
Not going to be vary useful I think, and I do already have a 91 XLT 4.0 but the price seems too low to pass up at least going to check it out

>>14076872
Honestly I'd pass unless you're bored and want a project. Too cheap to pass up usually implies a money pit. If you don't have a use for it, which it sounds like you don't, you're just taking on a project that'll eat money. At that price it's probably crap, and loaded with issues.

>>14077163
Not bored, already have too many projects; Current thoughts are to inspect it, if everything seems fine past that then think of new tires, and shipping it out to !!B21a1(Iowa) so he/we can sell it out east and we can split the profits (California no rust MUST BUY etc etc other CL tags)

Really just thinking of a quick flip. And apparently my county is having 'amnesty' for cars that haven't had the rego up to date which seems like a nice little bonus.

Just looking for a quick flip, but yea, expecting the usual lies told by cheap car sellers.

>>14074744

You're spot on in your observations. AZ fag, same deal here.

If you dont mind EVER seeing MPGs better than the teens (some modded diesels are the exception) then always overlook used 1/2 tons

>That thing is for faggots and women with no self respect.
It's also for people who want to go off road since it doesn't have open differentials and no traction control like the XJ. Enjoy getting stuck.

>>14080678
Yeah, no. I plan to put as much into this thing as I did my car. It'll be spooled Ford 9" on both the front and back.

I don't even know how to respond to this. If you aren't yet lobotomized by your purchase you should really reconsider what you're doing. Perhaps reconsider owning it.

>>14080819
You don't know how to respond, because your statement was retarded, and you don't have any explanation to back it up.

fresh from last night

>>14080821
No, I'm entirely correct. You don't know anything about going off road, that much is obvious. You'll find out the problem the first time you smack into a tree because you can't turn. Dipshit.

>>14080835
You can't be "correct" because you haven't made a point. However, all four wheels turning at the same time will be able to turn. You'll just always have two wheels that are slipping slightly.

But seriously, give some sort of benchracing explanation as to why you think you're right.

>>14080845
I'm not going to bother. You're obviously smarter than every engineer who has ever designed a vehicle for going off road. Enjoy the consequences.

>>14080850
>I'm not going to bother

Yeah, that's what I thought. You don't know anything at all, you were just trying to talk shit. Now, go back to your not owning a car, and being a bitch made faggot.

>>14080866
I don't need a crutch. I was the lead of the pit crew for a champion offroad truck for three years. Guess what the truck had. What's that? Oh yeah, spools.

>>14080872
No you weren't you fucking liar.

>>14080877
lol. Cry more, bitch boy. Yes, other people have done things you haven't.

Meanwhile, you haven't given shit for why you think you're right.

>>14080884
Because I actually own an off road vehicle with front and rear locking. I actually have gone off road and tried to turn with the front locked despite the owner's manual telling me not to since it cannot steer with the front locked.

You're just full of shit and can't accept it.

>>14080893
>following owner's manuals

You do realize this is going to be a serious offroad competition vehicle, right? Not a putt around town and sometimes hit a pothole full of mud vehicle.

>>14080906
>I know more than the engineers!
Yea, typical moron.
>You do realize this is going to be a serious offroad competition vehicle, right?
I highly doubt that but, if that's true, you shouldn't have a problem spending money on differential locks.
>Not a putt around town and sometimes hit a pothole full of mud vehicle.
That's not something people think of using spools for.

>>14080893
do you honestly expect to say something like that and nobody here will have enough experience to know that a front spool works fine?

>>14080917
So what you're saying is, you don't know anything at all. Got it.

Engineers for factory vehicles make them for normies driving them on the street, not for competition,

Looking for a small truck to carry me ~60k miles over the next ~5 years. Won't pull much, probably 2000lbs max towing, 1000lbs max hauling. It will get fluid changes and other basic maintenance but I don't want to do much else.

Am I reasonably safe buying any <10 year old, <150k mi mid size that hasn't been horribly abused, or are there any models that are known to explode before 200k?

>>14083333
Taco trucks have a premium cause theyre good

S10s can be solid if taken care of, don't expect to go faster than a ranger

Ferd rangers, don't know dick about em, but don't expect to go fast in these either

youd rather take the time to talk shit than take the time to realize that america is a place were camping is probably more relevant of an activity than in your country. notice the plates; that is the least populated state in the union but is 1.5 times the size of the entire UK. also yellostone is in a huge part of that state. im sorry but other countries just dont HAVE the same set up as americas. heck, Canada is the only other civilized country that shares our truck market.
