I bought an ARE with the new curved back glass. So far no issues. I’m very happy that I got the sliding front window because that is the only way to keep dust out of the shell. Leave front window open while on dirt roads and it seems to pressurize the shell. I duct taped and weatherstrip-ed the...

Man you are getting some crazy advice here! Read your owners manual or Diesel engine supplement. Do what it says! Don’t try any gimmicks! I’m not sure very many people have actually operated vehicles or equipment in really cold weather. It’s -6F here at my house this morning and it’s not...

Put new batteries in and you’re gonna be fine. I like CAT batteries in all my stuff. New trucks start fine until the weather is stupid cold. Don’t run bio blend, we use Power Service fuel additive and be very careful where you buy fuel when traveling You’re gonna freeze in the FWC before...

Oncoming traffic is going to hate you.

My buddy picked one up this summer and it is really fun. The diesel engine is perfect, nice low range. It’s a neat little package. Way quieter than a SxS, no belts to worry about, waaay better mileage. Still needs a few accessories for winter but everything on it is cheaper than Polaris or...

Lol. Good luck man. I want to see some pics of it in the dirt

My range is generally 600 miles + with the Raptor

I bought a 2018 Raptor. Found it in Ohio from a dealer that was very reasonable. 801A package, all the options with few frills. Couldn’t be happier. I added a ARE topper for winter ski travel and storage, it’s been a good addition. Plan to look hard at the 50TEN setup later this year, it’s...

Boxmanufaktur are stupid expensive, may be worth it but not a budget item at all. Total composites have it figured out. Might look into Tern Overland

We had to borrow my wife’s friend’s XL when we couldn’t get a loaner from Audi in Reno. What a pain in the ass it was to get our boys in and out all day long. We ended up putting the 4yr old in first to climb around and unlock all the doors. And my wife’s friend was super happy about finding a...

Yes. My Ford screens in ‘11, ‘15, and ‘18 do at least. We have an ‘08 gasser XL and what a stupid interior. Too simple, no door pockets, no cup holders, stupid. Like $100 worth of plastic is a deal breaker. I’m not a proponent of platinum or limited trims, would never pay for another ranch’s...

How much time do you spend driving a real truck? Or operating equipment? If that’s what you’re looking for in a recreational pursuit then more power to you! Most people don’t really want to go back 30 years in technology when choosing a vehicle. I’ve got thousands of hours and around 1...

Keeping your beer thawed out is pretty damn important. From hunting camp to ski trips, we fight the cold to keep beer drinkable. It helps to increase the alcohol content, light beer freezes faster. Don’t buy bottles.

I’m sure there are two sides to every story. I hope to contact OverEx regarding my planned build but I’d hate to hear this is a common occurrence.

Buy a huge cab over camper + gooseneck flatbed = redneck toyhauler. I’m only half joking because I’m 2/3 there. Just can’t bring myself to pay for a big nice cabover. Also have plans for a 20’ shipping container home that can be winched onto said trailer. But the best bet is to get a new...

That’s bro-tastic dude! A built in kegerator! Gnar points for days! Am I using enough exclamation points!

I’ve used the Uponor PEX systems in three houses I’ve built and many other fixes around the ranch. Couldn’t be happier and haven’t had any leaks or component failures in either hydronic hearing or domestic water systems. Crimp rings scare me ?

My FIL has a ‘13 F150 and a FWC - nice combo. He added airbags and doesn’t set any speed or mileage records but it’s been very reliable. Not much room in the super cab, needs a wheel change to get away from 20”. Still a very nice simple setup. I might be having a mid-life crisis but I bought a...

Truckline-sale.com, all metal supply, lots of hits on google search. We have some serrated stuff on our hay trailers. Might not be too user friendly for pickup

The only reason for high deck height is to make room for the center drawer. You can build a flatbed that hugs the frame and is only a few inches above the factory bed. Slot your main rails so crossmembers run through them and tie into rub rails at exactly the depth of your decking then you...
