Good for you. for considering before acting. Many in the family were highly decorated, and the star on the door of anything but an MB or GPW smacks of stolen valor. My brother served in Nam, and I was unable due to physical deformities, but I found a way to serve in the USO.

Some really nice shots here, folks! Highest compliments! I live on the side of a mountain, and my view is across a river ravine and toward a mountain ridge to my North. Sunrise during wildfire season: (Yes, it's a real concern up here. Had a close call about three years ago, the fire was...

Much appreciated! I've always joked that "I musta been made from spare parts", because I have short legs and a really long back. But when I'm ready, FOR-SURE I will do an extended test drive. I had to be super-sure before I bought my Hornet. The "kid" salesman who went with me on the test...

😆 Thank you! (Laughing)

Thank you! I found that the optimal "butt height" for easily getting into any truck is about 30-35" off the ground. For me. Getting out, hey, easy. So that's the reason for asking about what the drivers seat height is off the ground. Yeah, I can manage a 2-step up, but it would be nice just...

Thank you! My next task will be to determine which model I need. From having suffered in the Jeepster, I won't live without an air conditioner...! I don't mind roll-down windows, but it would be nice to have a good stereo! That said, I am truly spoiled by the adaptive cruise control on my...

I hear you there! Years ago, I had a 4WD Dodge 3500 dually with the long bed. Trying to load stuff into the bed made me feel like a little kid, because the tailgate was at my chest! Although it was a great truck, it had a turning radius similar to the USS Saratoga...

Thanks, and thanks everyone for the replies. Your opinions are certainly valued. Let me reply to Old here. I used to do market research as part of my job, so when I go into a dealer I want to have every possible variable nailed down. That's why I asked about step-in and clearance height. And I...

Hi all. First, thanks for the warm welcomes. I've been researching a Gladiator for my next vehicle (in a year or so), been scanning through the threads, and am asking for help with some questions. My mobility isn't really great, but I am refusing to let this 'stuff' hold me back. Going to be...

You can fix that in five minutes with a black Sharpie...

When my wife was in a care facility, I learned of a super trick: Put the soft top in the biggest bag you can find - somewhere it fits loosely - and put coffee grounds in low bowls around it. Leave it for a few days (or longer) and that will get rid of the smell. And no, you don't want to use...

Just an older guy joining and posting to say hello. I lost my wife not that long ago, so now it's just me and the latest 'elder rescue' dog. I'm doing research into 'the next vehicle' for me; currently I have a Dodge Hornet R/T+, and the car is a total blast. But I have an aging pickup truck...
