    New All Terrain Tire from Nokian, Outpost AT

    New all terrain option from Nokian. Called the Outpost AT. Snowflake rated, deep 18/32 tread depth I've had mine about a month and am pretty impressed. I live very rural on a rough muddy road that gets tons of snow. Pretty chunky in person, much more so than their existing AT called the...

    Why I switched from a Tacoma to an F150

    In regards to the Tacoma to F150 comparison. A 2.7 eco will do everything better than a Tacoma other than vehicle width and resale. Blows it away in power, room, mpg, comfort, and reliability is just as good. Tacoma reliability is overblown since the 4.0 and 5 speed are long gone. This isn't a...

    Falken Wildpeak AT/3W - anyone running them? Opinions?

    If you think the AT3W is heavy, try the Baja Boss AT! They are tanks. that said I have been a big fan of the Falkens til recently. Falken must have changed the compound because the new ones I bought last year suck in the snow and ice where my previous two sets rocked. I have two 2007 Tundras, a...

    Time for a New Truck--MPG is a Priority

    One cool 3.5 Eco benefit is that with a tune its one of the quickest vehicles on the road. Laying waste to Mustang 5.0's and Challenger Scat Packs while running 33'' all terrains. lol Not that that matters in Overlanding but fun nonetheless.

    Time for a New Truck--MPG is a Priority

    I couldn't get hardly any interest in my 2018 F250 Supercrew Longbed. Everyone was talking how they are getting mid 40s It was in excellent condition and I sold it for $36k with 99k miles last weekend. But then again I paid 39k for it 4 years and 99k miles earlier so, not bad, I don't think.

    Time for a New Truck--MPG is a Priority

    I got 23mpg highway on my 2.7 eco with 3.73 gears and 33" all terrains pretty regularly. I averaged around 20. Pretty incredible with the amount of power that little mill makes. Then again you could buy a used F250 6.2 that gets 16mpg for probably $10-15,000 less than a new F150 and buy A LOT...

    Tire recommendation needed for ride quality and mild offroading

    I replaced my Michelin ATX LT2 with Falken AT3W and the Falkens are SO MUCH better offroad and in the snow and don't seem to be any louder on the highway, 40k miles on them now with tons of life left.

    winter tires when I live where it snows a lot but also plan to go to the desert?

    That's weird. We have them on some of our work trucks here in snowy north Idaho and they seem to do great, definitely better than the KO2 that are on my company truck. I run Falken AT3W for my last two sets of tires and they are going to be hard to beat all around. But I just bought a set of...

    2000 Super Duty CC SB 7.3: Alum-line flatbed and installation

    ************************ what a crappy install. This is especially relevant to me as I am currently shopping flatbeds for my 2018 F250 and can solidly cross AlumLine off the list.

    Falken Wildpeak AT/3W - anyone running them? Opinions?

    I can't explain enough how good these Falkens AT3W are. Traction is night and day better than the "snow rated" Goodyear Kevlars on my F250. THEY SUCKED Also, my wifes Tundra needed new tires, we live in Far North Idaho and get tons of snow, ice, slush; so I found some Cooper M&S on big time...

    Total Composites flatbed build

    You mentioned you were going to order a $55k new Dodge, but settled on the older 7.3 Ford. I think for something like this you might have been better off and getting a used 2017+ Super Duty with the 6.2 gas for mid twenty $k range. Excellent bargains. Has about as much go as the old 7.3 and...

    2023 Ford Raptor- Continuation

    the Tremor XLT for 50k is a lot of truck for the money these days. There is no way I would consider a modern diesel unless I as towing >10K day in and day out.

    Trade F-150 for Tundra - Overland

    I have a 2018 Crew Cab long bed 4x4 6.2 gas F250 My wife has a 5.7 Tundra Doublecab They get almost exactly the same mpg (15-16) and as of 80,000 miles my F250 6.2 hasn't needed a single thing outside of fluid changes, filters, and two sets of tires. The forums report almost zero issues with...

    2023 Ford Raptor- Continuation

    There have been some big issues lately with the 5.0 than there have been with the Ecos (oil burning) etc. I owned a 5.0 and it was a great truck but the Ecoboosts are just in another league (IMO) especially if you ever tow or live at altitude.

    Prevolander 93 Bronco

    Unfortunately I never get my Bronco up to 70, almost all of our roads here are dirt and I never go much past 50 mph. I also can't remember the part numbers for the 5160 on the back, sorry. I'd go look but I'm out in the middle of the ocean right now on a ship. I liked the Q80s but ended up with...

    Hemi Wrangler or Gladiator or both?

    Stupid jeep and its 470 HP 392. All they had to do to sell a ton more Gladiators (or Wranglers) is to put the regular Hemi in them and make it, say, a $3,000 option. The Hemi is already in basically every Ram they make, even ones you can get for less than 30k. The Gladiator deserves the...

    Some traction for the front of an f150. Which would you pick?

    Detroit TruTrac or Torsen is where it is at With that up front, and a locker in back; if you can't make it through the pasture, you are in a spot where you really don't want to be anyway and are gonna have a bad time. Also you wont even be able to tell it is there and you can still turn...
