I vote do it, make Smoked Chile the moderator, and if it doesn't pan out we can move the threads over.
One of the coolest parts of our forum here is how well you get (and give) real advice, based on real experience, from local guys who generally know what they're talking about. That statement right there just whacked out a lot of the stuff we encounter elsewhere. Yet there is a shared vested interest in the best possible solution with regards to efficient outcome, performance, and safety here. Those involved share the highways with you, share the trail with you, and more than likely will look you in the eye some day- a much different demographic than a national audience. the tech advise we give, the jokes we tell, and the stuff we sell, is all conducted at a more mature level here. I have come to count on the support I receive at the Rising Sun forum.
But the other benefit a sub forum gives is the liberation to post up more questions or ideas, than one may would have felt comfortable with had there been only a general forum. the idea that "if someone doesn't care they don't even need to look over here" brings with it a certain relief on what may have otherwise been second guessed or not brought up, out of regard for what the larger audience may have tolerated, or mere embarrassment. that's true be it diesel tech, or photography, or motorcycles, or land use. Speaking for myself, it has been really cool to learn more about motorcycles from my friends here who also share a Toyota interest.
Personally, I don't own a diesel, nor do I have any plans of buying one in the foreseeable future.
But of all the vehicle types on the road I probably know the least about diesel trucks. And I'm not about to run off and join a diesel forum, so I'd welcome the chance to eavesdrop in on some of the new undertakings of the diesel variety from people I know. who knows, I might learn something. I want to hear what the folks here know and have to say about tow vehicles.
how about "Trailer Kings" for a forum title- with the presumption that you're towing your trailer Queen.
