Neat! My "second" Jeep was a 1948 CJ, maroon color with a ragtop. But I can't find any pics of it in my files. At 10 years old I used drive it, collecting kids all the way, to the nearest school bus stop. I'd park the Jeep and we'd all get on the bus and go to school, then after school...

Got you guys all beat...here's my "first" Jeep, back about 1950. Family (lots of cousins) getting ready to go for a ride. This was a genuine ex-military unit my family got ahold of somehow. Sure wish I had that thing today!

I'm not questioning the quality of their boots. Nor am I promoting anyone else's boots - foreign or US made. All I'm saying is their boots are designed as work boots, not hunting boots. I've been hunting for nearly 70 years now...no one I know hunts in 6" high work boots. What percentage of...

They may be great boots...but I don't see anything on their web site that would qualify as a good hunting boot. i.e. all day comfort, plus tall enough to provide protection against thorny brush and snake-infested rocks.

As I said, I've not had to do anything to the engine in the 17 years that I've owned it so I can't give you a good answer. Other than oil changes, that is, and those are very easy because the oil filter is easily accessible from under the vehicle. Here's a pic from underneath showing the...

I have a 2007 E350 4x4 with the 6.8 and 5R110W transmission. Had it regeared to 4.56 with ARB air lockers in both axles right after I bought it. If I remember correctly it has about 77,000 miles on it now and according to my spreadsheet it has averaged 11.8 mpg since new. It has been totally...

This is me. I can feel my blood pressure jump up by 10 points as soon as the tranny shifts down and revs jump up to 4-5000 rpm!

True only if the vehicle has a "4A" position for the transfer case, and that's what you have it set to. If the vehicle doesn't have the 4A position (just 2H-N-4H-4L) then Ram/Jeep/GM have front axle disconnects that allows part of the front axle to rotate when the position is in 2H - but the...

Coming down the Kelly Grade after spending a few days up on Smoky Mountain in southern Utah...

Keep in mind that Ram is going to a twin-turbo 6 cylinder engine for 2025. No more V8 engine in the 1500 series.

24 gallon fuel tank just wouldn't make it in my world...I need all the range I can get.

Personally, I think the perceived "problems" with the new diesels are overblown. I know several people who own the newest (last 5 years) Powerstrokes and Ram/Cummins and not one of them has had an engine-related problem. Nor do I see a lot of posts about engine problems on the forums. Yes, a...

Not even GM uses an actual "Allison" transmission anymore. When GM went to their new 10 speed heavy-duty transmission they built their own - and slapped an Allison sticker on it, under an agreement with Allison. But Allison doesn't build that 10 speed. That being said, I've not seen anything...

Taken with an Olympus XA camera so tiny it would fit into any pocket. Loaded with Kodachrome 25 film! My current ride is a Yamaha XT225:

Always wanted one of those! Closest I ever got was an XR250 and a whole bunch of XLs of various displacements. Now I'm closing in on 80 years old and though I still have a dirt bike I'm getting so clumsy I have to do most of my "thumping" on 4 wheels.

In an extremely remote location in northern Nevada...about 100 miles to the nearest town:

^This! Me, I'm never "Off Road". Most of the time though, I'm "Off Pavement". So I use vehicles that can work on the roads I have to traverse. You're not going to like driving any of these roads in a HD pickup! Big tires, aired way down, is the only way to travel these roads with a HD...

I've been using a slide-in camper for many years. Mine is a 9.5 Bigfoot on a dually, extending a foot or so past the 8' bed of the truck. The actual "floor space" of my camper is approximately 2' wide by less than 8' long. If you are considering a small camper for your F150 then your floor...

This is what the side of my van looks like when I'm out and about. Anything I bolted to the side would quickly be scraped off!

Did you install any good maps on the Tread? The maps it comes with do not show any of the more primitive roads and trails...that's why they're "free". Install some Garmin 100k maps, or the 24k maps for your region if you want to see the roads less traveled. Or download (free) the maps you need...
