    Fear of the highlift?

    Since when did we all turn into ninnies and be deathly afraid of the highlift jack? They are a staple in industry and off road and since the advent of the internet everybody is afraid of them. Or is it just a sales pitch for all the goofy crap they sell to try and replace it? Blow up doll...

    Sport springs on base model Tacoma?

    I bought an 08 base model, has the off road Bilstien shocks. I also picked up some 12 TRD sport front coils. They are a larger wire diameter.

    Rv trailer off road modifications?

    Ok so who has modified an off the lot travel trailer for off road use? What did you do? I have a 16' Starcraft ar-one extreme. It works. It is lifted a little. And so far hasn't beaten itself apart. But I am wondering what I may be overlooking as far as failure points in the future.

    Ford TPMS delete?

    Is there a way to delete or turn off the tire pressure monitoring system on an 09 F350? Beyond a piece of tape over the light, or smashing the led in the cluster with a hammer.

    09 F350 shocks?

    I want a soft riding shock for my crew cab. I don't need better handling. It is not hauling a camper. I don't need extra stiffness. I want to be able to drive for hours on rough potholed gravel at slow speeds and not beat my teeth out. Suggestions?

    F350 Tray back?

    Who's got one? An Aussie style tray back. Or one similar to the AEV Dodge. Not your typical scabby iron flat deck, something with some off road style.

    A question,a thought and a critisim.

I suppose if you are Mr. Moneybags and can afford a support crew and have supplies flown in to you at...
