Full sized wheelers; love them, hate them, or couldn’t care less? Is bashing body panels on the way out and door-less Jeeps taking over for good? Am I just running out of things to blog about? Why can’t I think of better blog ideas? Why do they keep making us blog? Don’t they know that I have stories to write?

1. I miss seeing full-bodied full-size trucks on the trail. They were always cooler to watch than an entire herd of tube buggies.

And no flat beds. That's for farm trucks.

2. At my favorite destinations here in Central Florida, I would have to say that the full size trucks easily out-number Jeeps by at least 3 to 1. I personally run a bone stock '08 Silverado, mainly because I'm on a tight budget, and I have other interests i.e. boating.

Any given day my favorite spots are filled with Silverados, F-150's, and Rams.

3. You should come out and wheel with my group. We are almost all fullsize and full body vehicles on atleast 42" tires! Mostly Dodge vehicles...
I have a '97 Ram 1500 (42" PitBull Rockers)
Stan Prueitt's - Ram 6500 (T-Rex 6x6 on 42" IROKs)
Rob Knoell's - '80s Ramcharger (Fully linked on 42" PitBull Rockers)
Corey Casper's - '90s Durango (Fully linked and getting Rockwells with 47" PitBull Growlers)
Cheston Beck's - Scout Traveler (Fully linked with 47" PitBull Growlers)
We pride ourselves on having our fullsize/full bogy rigs that can go the same places that the buggies can go!!

4. Now if you want to do an article on some really huge off-road vehicles, when I was a firefighter in the Air Force, we had four vehicles that were specifically designated as all terrain crash trucks: the P-2 (no longer in service), the P-19 crash truck, the P-23 crash truck, and the P-24 structural pumper. The P-23 was an eight wheel drive and weighed in at 77,900 and had lockers on all 4 axles, the P-19 at 32,500 4 wheel drive with lockers, and the P-24 at 36,700 with 4 wheel drive and lockers. Logic being that airplanes don't always have the good sense to crash on the runway.
