    Anybody else want a small USEABLE 4X4?

    How much gear behind the seat? I can fit quite a pile of junk behind the seats of my work truck.

    Anybody else want a small USEABLE 4X4?

    I had a nice YJ. It was so small, that I accidentally ended up on ATV trails in Ocala Nat Forest. It was great for the super tight trails that don't exist by me anymore. Great break over angle to cross obstacles that don't exist. Feisty little sport suv thing, perfect for getting off the...

    What gears if go Gas full size truck...vs diesel

    Didn't say 6th. But you'll want that rpm around your cruise speed ''somewhere''. At your preferred cruise speed, 6th should be too low rpm, 5th just right, 4th a bit high for power and control in hills. Fords don't have a direct gear anymore. If any ratio misses your preferred rpm...

    What gears if go Gas full size truck...vs diesel

    You'll want 3000 rpm somewhere for towing. Gear accordingly to get it. Don't forget that the 6r100g has a tall double overdrive. And the new trucks have a fridge sized muffler, 4 cats, and a resonator thing. You won't notice higher rpm's. I've spent hours towing at 3500 with no issues...

    What gears if go Gas full size truck...vs diesel

    At least 4.88. 4.56 is only decent for 35's. Don't fear the gear. And the 6.2 has excess power for a lil camper, or anything ''overland''. Bds has decent lifts. For a 4" lift, you'll need to cut the y pipe slightly and rotate it, or have it custom shaped a little to clear the front...

    2020 Defender Spy Shots....

    So it costs as much as a brand new Rubicon, brand new Super Duty, and a brand new Ktm Exc 500, all together????? ''Utah, get me 2......... Utah! TWO!''

    How do you mount your popup camper to your truck?

    Big campers and big trucks need some sort of frame mount. Campers were heck on one piece steel beds, with bed mounts. Bent and deformed beds everywhere. Today's multipiece beds don't stand a chance, I'll bet. I just want frame mounts through the bed, not outside the bed.

    How do you mount your popup camper to your truck?

    I wish someone made inside the bed mounts, that mount to the frame. Make a hole in the bed floor. Not a huge fan of grabby chains and cables off the side of my truck almost as bad as a ''Sprinter ladder''.

    Retirement truck

    Not much, and those vans are toast now. Only the cab of them exists at any factory now. For uhauls and such. I'd go Trucks and them smallest camper you can stomach.

    Am I SOL?

    Even if the dealer did pity you, way after they need to, would you want them to swap your gears instead of an axle shop? Heck no. Write it off, and find a gear pro.

    Perfect off-highway tire = LTX? What?

    My LTX AT's are pretty bad in snow. Completely useless in mud. Need siped bad for real winter use. The only reason I haven't ripped them off yet, is that I just don't want to waste them. At least get 30k out of them first. They only exist to please egg shell newbs that freak out about...

    It’s Here! Jeep Wrangler with Diesel News

    Bummer, but Nope. Put it in a 2 door manual trans Rubi. I have no interest in a Jeep the size of a Super Duty. Why is the etorque ERS only available with the auto trans?

    The $264 1991 F250. Talk some sense into me

    Battery, cap, rotor. If you change hoses, change the tstat. Remove and have your starter and alternator rebuilt. Good engine, I just hate its water pump. 87 bolts, and they're all a different length. It's easy to swap a dana60 into those.

    Well, this is interesting...Ford Trucks Gas Mileage Lawsuit

    My 6.2l F250 does better than that. Consider adding a vacuum gauge to your pillar. And a dyno tune to fix whatever your mods are doing wrong.

    Well, this is interesting...Ford Trucks Gas Mileage Lawsuit

    If I can get 24mpg on the hwy with an F150, then can I have the lawyers pay for this case? Stupid lawsuit is stupid. One test drive and it's out the window. City mileage is a useless spec. I can coast through your city at midnight and get 20+mpg in a gas Super Duty. LA during the...

    Jeep plunges 450 feet off Colorado mountainside

    Just grab a back hoe, and make the trail head at the bottom of the mountain harder to pass, than the actual trail is. If you can make it to the trail, then you're GTG. If you need to be under 8'6", then put up a limbo pole at the entrance. Been done on private mountain bike parks for...

    2020 Defender Spy Shots....

    Please stop with the JD power nonsense. Go talk to a mechanic that you trust. There's darn good reasons why very well built Mercedes's are low on that list, and dismal mexican built GM's fluctuate from the very worst ratings, to near the top every other year, and then back to the bottom...

    18 Jeep JLU Rubicon Possible World Travel

    This is why I scrapped my Jeep for a fullsize. Trucks are best with bikes. Don't forget 12' ramps. Sure you don't need ramps that nice with a dirtbike, until you have to load up a broken bent bike. A Jeep doesn't have, even remotely, enough cargo capacity for basic overland gear, a...

    Why F-550 instead of F-450 chassis cab?

    That's cute. Maybe I should have used brackets to denote sarcasm, or been more obvious for special needs kids. ER's are HMS Bismark heavy, up there with up armored LMTV's. [I'm sure that 25,000# should slide effortlessly across soft ground.]
