I want a new version of my '79 Toyota. Super small with a 7' bed. I'm even fine if it's built cheap if it's cheap to buy. I'm not interested in a truck that's built cheap for $35k. Given the options I'll either motor swap or buy a regular cab long bed half ton.

Not sure if you found anything but here's one in NV for $35k.

Those are on all 23+ Superdutys. Definitely more useful on a stock truck.

I'm alright with the front bumper but not enough for the premium price.. The wheels are a miss which is a bummer because I dig the RAM Salta wheels. The only thing they could possibly get me to buy is a snorkel and that is not even offered.

I already did this. It helped a lot. If there's a good crosswind it's still really loud in the cab. You can stick your finger in the corner where the two doors meet and feel the the extra space from the doors flexing.

I found a PDF from Ford for it. I think I'm going to go for it.

I came across a YouTube video of some guy who said he would wrap his strikers with electrical tape. He then replaced him with that GM part that was thicker and a direct fit. I figured for 12 bucks I can give that a try.

I'll see if I can adjust something. The doors do seem flimsy to me. They don't really rattle. It's hard to describe but it's almost like they're not fully latched even though they are.

We bought our F250 used and from the beginning we've been disappointed the doors. On really rough roads they make a lot of noise. On the highway if there is a cross wind the whistling is extremely loud. Well I don't know if it makes a conversation hard. I've had three Tacomas with the same...

If the camper's not on full time airbags are your best option. Firestone If you're on a budget or Logiq if you're fancy. Fresh shocks with help. Tundra leaf springs are pretty soft. You may want to add something to them down the road.

One of the things I feel like never comes up in the EV versus ICE debate is how the EVS are targeted. They're either super cheap economical commuter cars or high dollar luxury items. An EV would absolutely work for my wife but a 10 year old Lexus SUV for under $20k was what she settled on. If...

I thought Ford was already doing this. My understanding is dealers don't make money selling cars. They make money financing loans and works on cars. People will still finance their cars. Cars will still need worked on. Dealers suck so I'm not shedding a tear.

I didn't realize a lot of the 17s were capped. There's a lot of 35x12.5r17 tires that are are f rated with a load index of 121. That's part of the reason I stayed with 18s. My new new f-rated tires ride better higher than my old e-rated tires even at 12 more PSI.
