Got pulled over by the police on Thursday evening for my tires sticking out too far from the fenders. Was given a warning and 3 weeks to get either fender flares of mud flaps. While I was waiting to get my documents back from the officer, I called the local parts store and ordered some...

We build Passive Houses and there is a point where insulation becomes too costly for only minimal more gains. What is critical is air tightness and thermal bridging. A small structure like a camper will not take much energy to heat it compared to a house. Foam has an R value of 5 per inch...

For backup lamps, a flood pattern works best.

I've noticed on my new 29er mountain bike that the larger tires roll over obstacles which my 26er would either jam into or require a wheelie to smooth out the transition. The same would apply to trucks as a smaller tire would impact higher on the tire.

The 2015 model went to even larger brakes from past coil sprung models, and making use of the exhaust brake and a manual downshift slows the truck in a hurry. Even with my 38" tires.

My not so stock F350 soaks up washboards decently. Long wheelbase, large tires with tall sidewalls aired down, long travel, and moderately higher speeds. Using 4wd helps prevent the front wheels from diving down into the troughs. When the washboards become whoops, the speed drops to a crawl.

Most modern gasoline vehicles will fry the electronics if they encounter water depths of the video a few posts back. Older mechanical diesels not relying on complex circuit boards can run as long as they get air and the fuel doesn't get contaminated.

Bringing back this thread. New shoes just in time for winter. 38x13.50-18 Toyo MT, as well as a new-ish (about a month) colour matched canopy.

My brother has a lifting system on the ceiling of his garage. Backs in underneath, hooks up the lifting points and undoes the mounting fasteners and then raises the RTT and drives out.

Double the towing capacity of your truck with this easy to install kit.

https://classifieds.dieselsellerz.com/diesel/truck/6wx424 I would avoid a Ford 6.4L. Might consider one as a roller if condition is very good and swap in a 6BT.

The only point I will concur on is the adjust-ability of height, but that can be also attained by using OUO adjustable coil levelers. There is no way a 6" shorter spring can yield the same amount of travel. A quality shock (King, Fox, RadFlo) can be rebuilt. If you need to swap spring, it's much...

Why are you going with a coilover for that low of a lift? You'll lose travel due to the spring being shorter.

Longbed for me. I need the 8' length for building materials for my real job, and the ability to transport a fleet of skis for my part-time seasonal job. 8' = pickup truck, 6.5' (or less) = pickup car. :D

You can always give it a real size pickup box later. :D
