Even the measly anemic Ford 5.4l would snap one ton axles like a twig, off road. A bit slow on the highway, but a beast in 4L. Not unlike the YJ's I used to run. The 4 cyl was fine offroad if your tires weren't too oversized. The 4.0's major advantage was on the street. Don't...

Ford's axles are likely one of it's strongest selling points vs Dodge. Rear elocker in my 10.5 has been flawless. Front high pinion Dana 60 will get a Yukon Grizz locker when funds allow (responsively). Expect to go up one step in gears with a Ford 6.2. 4.56 vs 4.88 with 35-37" tires...

Converting rotation force to electricity, then back into rotational force, you'd lose at least 20% fuel efficiency. Sure you'd be in a perfect powerband, but not enough to make up the conversion losses. It won't happen until the ICE is replaced with a fusion reactor. Diesel electric DC trains...

I'm using winch rope.

Nope. It's mostly condensation. No go, for my east coast destinations. Hardsides with AC to dry out with are my best option over here. Wish I could make a pop up work.

Just put a Yukon Griz locker and the Yukon free spin kit on.

Who orders a Dodge? At the end of the year Ford has $6000 rebates on dealer lot trucks, Dodge has double that. Cummins for the cost of a gas Ford is the real reason those trucks attract C sticker fanatics. If you're into Dodges, ignore internet pricing. There's always a nice XL or Tradesman...

Still weighs a ton less than a winch and winch bumper. (that get used once every three years)

Snowflake wheels?

SRW = gas. DRW = diesel. I haven't seen many legit arguments otherwise. Enclosed utility bodies are heavy like porkier slide in campers. It's not uncommon for all fleet trucks over 10,000# GVWR to be DRW. DRW dump trucks and crane or bucket trucks never go on the highway. It's not...

A fullsize gas truck, especially the Ford 6.2, are closer to the diesel, than they are an anemic Tacoma. Lolz. The 6.2 is about the same as the better 7.3l diesels. Just a flick of the "-" button to lock out overdrive(s) when needed.

Drz400s. Can be lightened easy enough. Dirt cheap reliability. Fix it yourself suspension. Make sure your bike carrier is full width and heavy duty, with brake lights. Don't use one of those ghetto little frame grabbers. We've wrecked a few of those. Don't underestimate the forces of...

Until you're spending $1000 every month, and $2000 per year on body work. Then the new truck starts to look better.

Guns are too loud and quick. The sound might startle a bear, but usually just confuses or aggravates them. I've had better luck banging frying pans together. Bluff charged twice by black bears. It's a stupid technique bears use on other bears. I actually pity them for trying it on...

I just want my olde junk, to be mine. That I bought new. I'll keep it as long as I can. Take care of it, so there isn't a pile of repairs when it's old. I just hate fixing other peoples used vehicles, and then freaky weird failures reoccur. Like the ear on the axle being cattywompus on...

Sometimes you need to be rolling while in N.

Were you in neutral when trying to go to 4L? Looks like a rear main to me, I'd walk.

......start a trailer company after posting pics of one single custom trailer online. 1.) pics of trailer online 2.) dupe some suckers out of deposits 3.) ??????????? 4.) PROFIT! Seriously, there's like a dozen of ya'll. Get together and organize. One of ya'll has got to know a mob lawyer...

Let me guess.......they want a $19,000 deposit?

You have their address, and they stole $20k from you? I know what I'd do......
