2020. Scab 7.3 10 spd 4.30. No issues, no second thoughts. 46k. No daily driving, 90% long distance highway, towing light trailers, remainder short distance towing 13k lb trailer or severe rocky remote ranch roads. Looked at a new 2025 F250 FWD 6.8 10 spd, 3.73 XL FX4 CC yesterday at a dealers...

One of Ujoint first new box conversions was a Unicell, spoke with him about it as is a fiberglass box. Did not go into details but said in the future was doing steel boxes which the current one is clearly not all glass. I struggle with this approach vs an Aterra XL allowing me to upgrade the...

Bicycle inner tubes make good dog boots, several videos about how to make them. I fell backward a year ago into a patch of prickly pear cactus. Had multiple layers on, spikes and glochids went thru like butter. Had to peal off the layers with the thorns remaining embedded. Found out later that...

Boiled linseed oil and a Wagner power sprayer or used motor oil, coat liberally and repeat periodically, works for beach trucks in salt water.

Different perspectives on the same issue. Here in Texas one of the most common accessories on trucks are Ranch hand Bumpers, personally know of a sales rep who drives the Hill Country 2 lanes daily year round. Kills at least 50 deer a year with no damage to his superduty. Little in common...

Can you post a picture of the load rating plate. You mentioned each spindle is rated for 1750 so can I assume the gvw is 3500 lbs. Please provide the max width as well as the max length at the point of narrowing at the front. Also the height above the deck of the fenders. Thanks

Neither of these guys are stoplight racers, I drive in a very similar fashion to them, typically see 13 in a Gen 1 Raptor and 17 in a 22 Bronco Wild Trak. Primary and secondary roads in Tx have 70-75 mph speed limit, I 10 west of Junction is 80 and 130 around Austin is 85, Bronco cruises easy at...

I have considered just removing the windows and buying the rubber accordion seal used on semi cabs. My need is to reduce the temperature in the cargo bed using the cab air conditioning, ambient air temps over 110 with bed temps even higher. Also a way to sleep in the back of a gladiator with the...

The overtrail Lexus was my next vehicle purchase until my neighbor bought one, does not drive for fuel mileage, his averages around 13, says range is about 250. His neighbor bought a new Sequoia with the same motor and fuel economy is under 10.

Those roads in DE56 photos are similar to better one I drive on periodically going to a ranch in NM towing a utility trailer. 20 miles from the highway as the crow flies, 3 hours of driving at 5-8 mph. 2020 SD F250 with snowplow and camper packages on 35s. Doable just go slow, did it once in a...

Have 24k miles on my Falken AT3Ws, 31570/17 E, some hellacious ”ranch roads”in NM as well as snow,slush and ice. Zero complaints. On a F250. Need a new set of tires on a raptor, have gone thru 2 sets of KO2s in 144 k miles, trying to decide which to buy. Have also thought about the MT 255/85/17...

No lack of towing power with my 6.2, son has a 2022 SCrew raptor also has plenty of tow power.

I own a 11 SC Raptor(original owner) 144k, and a 20 SC F250, Raptor is wider and shorter than the f250. Feels more maneuverable, is lower to the ground. Took it once on a goat hunt on blm trails, pinstripes buffed out, next time used it to tow a ranger for the narrow stuff. Keep thinking about...
