    Aviation sub-category? Bush flying, helicopters, etc?

    Man, I'd love that. Kind of like the ultimate backcountry experience. Yea pipeline might be a good time builder for me. I am not opposed to it should it present itself. Right now I am trying to park my ******** in a tail wheel as much as possible.

    Yessir, working on it now. Not sure where it's headed, definitely have no desire to teach, so I won't be messing with CFI. I'll grab my multi and then decide where to go from there. I have a heavy interest in flying Ag, but we shall see.

    I'm BACK!!! 2023 F-250 Tremor build

    That depends. Do you plan to head south into Central and South America, where ultra-low-sulfur diesel is hard to come by? Do you plan to tow often, and are your towing needs in excess of 5-10K pounds? Diesel is king IMHO, but if you don't tow heavy and you want to travel south, it's likely not...

    Atl-atl's 2024 Power Wagon documentation thread.

    Always loved the Softopper on the old Tacomas. Back then, they were called CanBak. Truck build looks great!

    Ford AEV FXL

    I'll probably consider the full wrap front bumper when they release it, but everything else is a miss. If you like it, then knock yourself out, but the overwhelming sentiment in the Ford forums isn't positive. Now that's not to say that it might grow on some in time.

    Ford AEV FXL

    Factory from '23 on, I have them and use them way more than I ever anticipated I would. That's one thing they stole from GM that I actually like. The ones in the rear bumper work in conjunction with a handhold in the top of the bed rail for you step up while pulling yourself up and into the bed...

    Ehh, round peg, square hole, GM things, but to each his own.

    Ford AEV FXL

    AEV has always been grossly overpriced. But yes, most will simply buy the parts they want and modify their current trucks, myself included.

    Ford AEV FXL

    It's funny; they've been talking about this since 2022. Four years later, they finally release it, and I couldn't be more underwhelmed. Over on the Tremor forums, it's not getting much love. It's going over like a wet blanket in the middle of January. I had high hopes for the fenders and...

    '27 Power Wagon Will Get A Cummins Turbodiesel With Monster Torque

    As a former PW owner and current diesel Tremor owner, I feel like I am the target market for this vehicle. Back when I owned my PW, my two biggest complaints were that it lacked a diesel, and the payload and towing were pathetic. Sadly, you can't have your cake and eat it too when it comes to...

    '27 Power Wagon Will Get A Cummins Turbodiesel With Monster Torque

    And they still couldn't figure out how to add a winch.

    I'm BACK!!! 2023 F-250 Tremor build

    I miss the 200 at times, but not to the degree that I thought I would, and honestly, not that much at all. We have a GX550 Overtrail in place of our 2022 GX460 now, and it replaces the 200 in many ways, and in some ways, it's much better. I am still somewhat active over on Mud, but only in the...

    Honesty time, are they worth it?

    I have been drooling over the Grenadier ever since it came out. We've done two test drives but never come close to buying, yet they still eat at me. I just can't comfort myself into the unknowns of their long-term reliability and resale. Does the company have staying power here in the States or...

    I'm BACK!!! 2023 F-250 Tremor build

    I received a Badlands 3-Ton off-road floor jack as a gift over a year ago. It sat in the box ever since, as I didn't have a way to safely and securely haul it in the bed of the truck. I had gone back and forth on mounting it to molle panels on the side of the bed, but I don't like the idea of...

    Atl-atl's 2024 Power Wagon documentation thread.

    Yea, different strokes for different folks. I still find many things about the FWC appealing as well. No one make is perfect, you've just gotta pick the one that checks more boxes for you and your personal desires.
