    110, how bad really?

    On one hand it is amusing how fast high end vehicles depreciate. On the other hand the Grenadier is so low volume and niche/expensive enough to keep it from ever being high volume to flood the market I could see the only place you could buy a $20k one in 10 years would be somewhere like Copart.

    Do You Know Where The Emergency Door Release Handle Is Located On Your Cybertruck?

    This is good to know in case a person would come across someone trying to get out of one.

    The Trooper/Blazer I call Blooper.

    When I did my engine swap the 80/20 rule really applied. 80% of the project takes 20% off the effort. All the little piddly crap that isn't on a guy's radar when you start is the other 20% that takes 80% of the effort.

    Camp Chairs

    My wife got me one of these for father's day. Mine was from Amazon, I suspect now it is a knockoff of yours, identical but with a alphabet soup brand and mine is green. She just thought I would like that it reclined. It is a very comfortable chair that sets up and takes down easy... I do miss...

    Waterproofing Canvas Tent

    We are needing to waterproof the canvas on our old Apache tent trailer. Appears to be basically plain old canvas, we got caught in a surpise rain storm. It doesn't have any holes but it did have a couple spots that were seeping thru. Any pointers on what to use? How to best go about doing it?

    Looks like a fun trip, I am also near Omaha.

    A/C

    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...

    110, how bad really?

    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...

    New FORD Ranger SUPER DUTY (Global Market)

    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)

    New Tacoma vs Colorado vs Ranger

    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...

    Why don't we see more Ford Ranger builds

    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...

    Why don't we see more Ford Ranger builds

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