    Great looking build. I am moving in a very similar direction. Could you share more about how you intend on blacking out your chrome and shiny stuff? Thanks in advance, wcdu

    Removing air damns

    Last year I decided to change my overland vehicle approach yet again and I went with a new Ford F-150 with the small V8 (2013). So far so good except for one detail. The front air damn. By front, what I mean is the one almost right underneath the front axle. It really does hang down too far...

    Plans for a 2010 F-150 Supercrew - Ultimate family camper

    phydough, I don't have the awesome Raptor, but I am starting on my 2013 F-150 build. Brief history is that I have moved from 2500 HD diesel crew cab with everything on it. My new goal is to have something smaller, lighter, etc. How do you feel about the extra weight on your front end? I was...

    Best Eating Game Animal

    As mentioned earlier, proper care of the meat cannot be over emphasized. I think the reason our pronghorn is so delightful is that our hunt area is only an hour from the butcher in Lander, WY. We keep coolers of block ice ready for that hour drive from camp. Although no one has precisely...

    battery ideas Nuvi 500

    I did the Amazon search and they had a gazillion options. Garmin says to buy a new battery from their store. I know that is an option but that involves an email order and a delivery someplace. I'll be passing through Denver in a week or two and the REI may have something in stock but the...

    battery ideas Nuvi 500

    My faithful companion Nuvi 500 is starting to have battery issues. I was wondering if there is a recommended replacement. Basically I take it out of my truck and put on my Teryx, Then I take it off that machine and stick it in a pocket. I am a disposable vice rechargeable kind of guy. I...

    Selling guns?

    There is Gunbroker.com and gunsamerica.com that are firearms specific. You can do craigs list but not ebay. For that matter you can put it up for sale on this list. The key to this is what happens after you have found a purchaser. Keep in mind that every state is a bit different and some of...

    Old new truck...

    I am glad you brought wranglers into the equation. I had a 85 cherokee with the in-line six. It was bullet proof but I had to give it back to the USMC when I retired. I also had a 98 wrangler sport with the same motor, rag top and windows. No air or cruise control and I thought it was...

    What shall I do? ( in a pondering inner voice...)

    I have been thinking about a truck just like that. I can think of numerous reasons to stay with the diesel but they are probably not relevent for someone else; fuel srorage, lack of electronics, etc. Keep us posted on you decisons and progress. Steve

    Old new truck...

    I'll keep an eye out on the progress of your sale. If I get down that way, I'll try to swing by. I'll know if quail is in the works for early Oct by mid-Sept. Yep, I am a retired Marine Sergeant's Major and thank you for your support. I would do it all again tomorrow. Pass on my greetings...

    Old new truck...

    Rob, My bust, I didn't mean to come across as anti-anything, much less anti-dodge. My experiences are best put this way. Unless God starting making trucks and didn't tell me or somebody I know, anything can have problems, especially since men are involved. (I coin that phrase years and years...

    Old new truck...

    Jesse, I have no particular brand loyalty. I don't suffer from any sort of marketing hype. The GMC has a short bed and the Lance camper would be a better fit in an 8' bed. The duramax had the turbo blow last month, $3,200.00 + with only 98,000 miles on the truck. Both rear axle seals have...

    Top Gear: K5 vs. Jeep vs. Bronco

    My first Top Gear was the UK version when they drove across Botswana. I must have watched it a half dozen times since then and I am fully prepare to watch it another half dozen. Their trip across the south interstates of the USA were especially in bad taste. Never-the-less, I think UK Top...

    Old new truck...

    Jesse, Sounds good but I need to know what to look for. Currently I have a 05 GMC 3/4 ton duramax, sb, crew cab and a 09 Tahoe (wife's). I live at the end of a dirt road in a box canyon with acreage. I have a huge lance camper, a jumping jack tent trailer, a Kawa teryx, a Polaris ranger, two...

    Old new truck...

    Technically, I live in the southwest, south central Colorado. I wouldn't be adverse to AC it is just that I really don't use it all that much and could live without it if, for example, it isn't available on something otherwise satisfactory. I would like a heater and I bet my bird dogs would...

    Old new truck...

    After a little research, there is nothing new on the market here in the USA that appeals to me. I am not really a gear head (if it doesn't go boom or bang, I know nothing about it) and rebuilding something is just not in the cards. What I need, okay, want, is a "new" 1988 or older, 3/4 ton on...
