When I was at a Chrysler dealership we had the contract for the PD vehicle maintenance. We had a K9 Tahoe in for an oil change, as it was sitting in the line for its service it had a complete fit, sirens were going, lights were flashing with a loudspeaker saying it was an emergency and to...

From a fellow older truck driver, you do your part and they will do theirs for the most part. For example I am prepping my '85 for a trip to Kansas right now and among other things doing its annual wheel bearing repacking. When I am done I know all is well. We just got back from South Dakota...

Luckily to aid in the reagearing process to counter larger tires the ring gear is welded to the differential carrier as well... (if you have the factory locker)

Crew cab Colorado vs extended cab Silverado maybe. That seemed about right when I was cross shopping Ranger vs F-150 while I had a Supercab F-150. My Supercrew F-150 like has a ballroom back there, prepping for a trip right now and I have my fridge on the floor in front of the rear seat (which...

A friend of mine has TJM bumpers pm his Tremor and likes them. Post in thread 'Snoranger’s 2023 Ranger Lariat Tremor' https://www.therangerstation.com/forums/threads/snoranger%E2%80%99s-2023-ranger-lariat-tremor.199745/post-1979481 I don't know anyone with a Raptor though. Warn, ARB and...

Man, bet that thing has some stories, awesome find!

My wife has a 22 Bronco, I dd a kind of newish (2016) F-150. The nose on the 150 is tremendous. Long hood, super deep dash, super wide. Its made for big engines and keeping them cool while towing. Since they already make a F-150 based SUV I am assuming you basically want a 2dr Expedition...

There is so much wasted space in a 150, hard pass for me, it would be a whale.

It's a bass akwards way to say it but when the Bronco came out they repeatedly said it was based on the next gen Ranger. Clearly not to be confused with the next gen Ranger that was two years away being based on the Bronco... At any rate the current gen Ranger has a lot more in common with the...

Trip report from going down to the MOORE expo a couple weeks ago. https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/2025-moore-expo-and-midwest-discovery-route-kansas-city.247999/#post-3217476 I picked this up a year ago, going to take it on a maiden voyage this weekend. We were thinking it...

I did get a video of most of the group crossing that old bridge. In addition to sounding horrible I could feel it moving around as well.

We camped at SMORR, it's a lot cheaper. Especially when we ran two rigs. We really like their campground too.

My dad's favorite movie when we were kids, I am pretty sure we watched it enough I could act the whole thing out. After that it was time to get headed back north again. Swung into Sugerfoot BBQ for lunch, it was really good. And then Mexican in St Jo. After a certain...

It rained all night which you can't beat for sleeping in a tent. Tent did great for keeping the rain out... but somehow a pole broke while were there. It was raining off and on that morning. Rather than wait for it to end or carefully roll the tent up... just kinda loosely folded it and threw...

Back to camp. There was a Jeep club having a big shin ding, they had a big grill going and music. Looked like fun. Steak sandwiches for supper We had the stuff for smores... but no sticks. Life finds a way... The ol' Coleman 228 didn't miss a beat.
