I went from one extreme to the other, from a 2018 Super Duty Crew Cab Long bed to a Gladiator.
It wasn't the length that held the Ford back as much as width, I feel, or my fear of scratching/dinging it. It was actually impressive where I could go.
Biggest annoyance was Ford's terrible...
I started this thread, and still really like the Outpost.
My F250 these are on sees very little highway use. Most of its life is offroad, or dirt roads. These days those roads are snow and ice covered. 50% of the time the truck has a full 275 gallon water tank in the back.
This tire is very...
Say what you want about the old flexy C-channel Fords but they take some insane abuse and it's very rare to see a frame fail.
But about the Tundra, it always amazes me how people overload those so badly. My full-size Tundra 4x4 had a lower payload than my little Gladiator by 300lbs.
Replaced...
I can easily believe you could drop a dump right on the ground in 1957 as back then most people disposed of old motor oil by pouring it in a hole or on an ant hill. lol
Thanks for the tips and words of encouragement.
I got finally got the camper in the shop last night ( after sliding down the icy hill a few times trying to back up into my shop, then proceeding to catch the bottom of my shop door on the roof top vent and ripping it off) lol
The camper bones...
I ended up buying that Kodiak, I'll be picking it up this afternoon and will start gutting it. Thanks for this thread for inspiration.
Time to start figuring out how to do fiberglass and how to do it in my shop without ruining everything else in there with dust and glass particles. lol
Awesome job on the camper. I'm looking at one of these Kodiaks for sale near me and would likely want to do something similar to get rid of the joints in the exterior.
The last couple years reading about how the 7.3 was gonna solve the problems of the 6.2 as far as reliability and complexity seems weird as the 6.2 is probably one of the most reliable engines ever made.
That said, I would still like a 7.3
Tundra payloads are pathetic, my Jeep Gladiator has a higher payload capacity than my full size 5.7L Tundra did LOL
Anyway, if you are wanting something that hauls weight well and is probably the only truck that rivals the old Tundras for reliability, the Ford 6.2 Gas with the 6 Spd Auto is...
I can't believe someone would spend 50k+ and NOT get 4wd; these things can't even back up in damp grass in 2wd. lol
Then again I very often need 4wd just to get up my driveway.
Are the newest pickup trucks with a fully boxed frame; like say a 2022 F350, NOT a cab and chassis truck, stiff enough to avoid the headache of a pivoting frame?
I had a 2018 F250 with heavy steel front and rear bumpers and it seemed like it didn't flex any real appreciable amount.
I sold that...
Pretty wild your Bronco is low in the back.
I have the Deaver springs on my 96 Bronc and they are tall as hell. It lifted the back 5.5"
I had to remove the factory 1.5"ish Pinon angle blocks, and cut and turn the perches to get the rear end down.
I have Pro Comp 4" coils and its just a tad high...
I still like them fine. will have to see how the Nokians do when the deep snow and ice rolls around.
Gonna be hard to beat the Boss AT. That's my favorite tire ever.
I have those on my Tundra and they are simply amazing. I got stuck on my driveway with my Falken AT3W's on my other truck and...
I've tried most all the popular All terrains and so far the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT has been the best as far as performance. The do weigh a ton though.
I also wasn't stoked how I was paying premium prices for the Falken yet it was made in Thailand (and some are made in China)
I had read that the Nokian AT is made in Tennessee.
Apparently they're "moving" production to TN as when I received my Outposts, they were made in Russia.
Oh well...
