    New GM Hd?

    Not sure if a Tacoma counts for that. But at least you have an excuse for an Acela now.

    Lance 990 is so much better on a DRW, anyways. I'm a big time hater of campers wider than the truck.

    New GM Hd?

    Isn't the Ram's russian dial-a-matic thing an option? I could have swore I saw a regular shifter in a new Ram yesterday. The updated 2020 Super Duty is just grill and lights. Maybe wheels. Body is the same IIRC. 10 speed and Godzilla are the real news there. After what it cost to tool...

    Ecodiesel as a short-distance commuter? Issues?

    I get 19 all day long in 150's. Is your work truck overloaded or broken? My F350 gets 8.8mpg@11,000 pounds, and it idles 3-4 hours a day. Seriously though, my friends 5.0L F150 4x4 is pretty quick. (no idea what gear ratio) Completely unnecessary. I've been in 5.0L Mustang Lx's that were...

    2020 Defender Spy Shots....

    Put an interior into these that doesn't suck. Fix the rattles. Attach real mirrors. Make sure it doesn't leak. Put solid Dana 60 axles under it. Match pricing with the Jeep Rubicon Gladiator. And actually sell them in the US. Sure, it can't do anything a Powerwagon or Superduty...

    2012 Power Wagon Build w Smart Bar Mods

    The new Rams aren't going to threaten the old. They're ugly as well. But I'll agree, the current Powerwagon and Superduty are the best looking trucks out there. Best looking expo rides as well. Nothing wrong with those sliders on a fullsize. Just body armor, not actual sliders. I...

    truck topper as a place to camp?

    A nice topper, with some creature comforts added, ends up costing half as much as a Capri's Cowboy sometimes. I think the ARE for my truck was $3800 for the shell alone! Not judging, just mentioning the option. $10.5k with AC and a fan. https://capricamper.com/models/cowboy/

    2019 Ford Ranger Taking Orders

    I'm going to guess that the frame alteration will only come into play, in crashes. For the crash safety standards.

    Made the investment to rebuild my shocks.

    If remote res, often shop air works fine. We did shocks so often, we gave up on getting nitrogen refilled. I don't recall anything sensitive it the res, maybe just the comp adjuster, but that's been corrosion free. It's fun, ya'll are missing out, sending your shocks out. It ain't rocket...

    Ecodiesel as a short-distance commuter? Issues?

    Scaled at 11 250# this morning in/on an F350. 6.2 did fine. I don't think I used more than half throttle. Still gets up ramps quicker than the average car driver wants to go. Not getting the weak part? Wrong gear, or wrong operator. Today's gas trucks are a bit overpowered for most...

    Ya'll get a new truck every other year anyways. Just get one with the correct sticker next time.

    Looking at that pic, you need to fix that squat for sure. You'll have no front brakes at all in slick conditions. My work truck had the same issue for a long time. I try to keep my tail far above level now. At least an inch.

    It's up to you if you want to risk being caught over GVWR. I know someone who just lost his savings, his truck, and had to sell his boat and all his toys to cover the legal fees of this. Check with your insurance company to see if your insured for "space shuttle". In his case, it's worth...

    Fake engine sound sucks. I'd rather listen to a 4 cyl sound, than fake anything.

    If you plan on buying a manufactured trailer there are a few things you need to know

    The word ''lightweight'' on a 30' TT is a clue. The better brands are quite heavy. http://outdoorsrvmfg.com/creek-side-21rd-titanium/ $30 000 for a 21. No wonder quality campers aren't more popular.
