    SOLD......2017 Ford Super Duty, King Ranch - AT HABITAT

    Love this truck, I have the same interior in my 2016 f150 kr, and like it much more than the newer "Red-toned" kr leather. If I was in the market, I'd be ALL over this. Good luck with the sale.

    Why I switched from a Tacoma to an F150

    Congrats on the new truck!! I love mine.. The one piece of information that I thought you may think is cool is that with these trucks, so many functions are available with Forscan. If you want paddle shifters, you can get them with a raptor wheel and a tweak of the code, pretty inexpensively.

    1/2 Ton vs 3/4 Ton for Family Adventures?

    The spring pack is usually bigger by a leaf or so, and sometimes there's an overload that the one ton has where the 3/4 doesn't. The biggest difference is the sticker on the door. Between the two, I'd go for the added payload.

    72 IH + ‘85 Alaskan = Questionable Judgment...

    Good thing you looked in there! Early Jeeps have closed knuckle axles like that, and rely on "knuckle pudding" to keep things lubricated. It's more viscous than grease, but heavier than gear oil. The closest thing that's made today for it is John Deere "corn head grease". Check it out, it...

    Land Rover ideas for Jeeps

    This gives me some great ideas for my Willys rebuild! Woodworking is a hobby of mine, so would love to incorporate a modular setup like the back of that defender into my camping lload out! Also, I now need a leather wrapped grab bar....

    2021 F150 vs F250

    Just to muddy the waters.... I should add that my 2016 f150 6.5ft bed truck feels like it has a wider turning radius than my 2005 f250. Maybe it's because it drives more like an overgrown car with a terrible turning radius? Ive completely gotten used to it, but something to note. I think either...

    2021 F150 vs F250

    How many sheets of plywood are you planning on hauling??? Plywood is what....50-60lbs a sheet? You'd probably be pretty close to running out of room in the bed by the time you ran out if payload. For that single use case, you could always make two trips as well. Last year I helped my brother...

    SOLD: 2018 F150 5.0L V8 XLT SuperCrew 6.5” 4x4 with HDPP - RARE and very low mileage

    This is a cool truck. I have a 2016 f150 max tow with the 6.5ft bed, and have 1000lbs less payload than you. In fact, your truck has more payload than my 2005 f250 had! One of the beauty things about f150s is that a lot of the "features" in higher trim trucks can be simply added with Forscan...

    Jeep Wrangler as a TOAD?

    One thing that I don't think has been mentioned, but it worth considering, is that you can't really back up with a flat towed vehicle. That might complicate things depending on where you're planning on traveling. Cool idea though, try it!

    My first Jeep, a 1983 CJ7!

    Welcome to the jeep club! I own a 1957/1970 cj5, but I've always loved the cj7's. Does your new jeep have the 258, or the 304? If the v8, it's commonly swapped with a 360. If the straight 6, it's pretty bulletproof. Both are good engines, although the 304 is gutless for a v8. As others said...

    Full Size - Small Diesels: why so unpopular?

    When I was looking at getting a new truck, I really liked the thought of the f150 powerstroke. I previously had a 2005 f250 with the infamous 6.0 that almost bankrupted me in the 2 years I owned it, but I loved the torque from the diesel, and loved that truck when it was running well. When I...

    This would probably be the closest to what I think you're asking for: https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/the-“puller”-project.211473/ Otherwise, there's a ton of companies that make caps (toppers, shells) that should fit your needs if that's all you want. The ARE dcu comes to mind as a...

    Motorcycle carrier on FRONT of truck?

    My buddy does it with his f150 and similarly sized camper, but his truck is a 2014 with the 5.0. The only real issue is that it blocks headlights, so you'd have to content with that. The truck will hold the weight, however, and the front hitch is handy for other things such as a cargo tray...
