    Upland Hunting - General

    Only went out once so far as I was busy preparing my dog for a test. Killed a random rooster and found 5 woodcocks which I didn't get. Passed a very hard, if not the hardest, hunting test out there. We got a prize 1 with 304 points, outstanding in Use of Nose and Blood Tracking. It took 2 days...

    INEOS Grenadier

    $88K is a lot. You can build an amazing Ford / Ram / GM with that money. It will be hard to draw customers from Jeep and Bronco.

    Why so few GM Builds?

    The new GM 6.6 V8 is getting an Allison transmission. The front looks way way better. And overly it is a handsome truck. The GMC looks better than the Chevy. What is is the difference between the GM 6.6 V8 and Ford 7.3 V8? structurally speaking. Found an older video about the 6.6 V8

    Thoughts on 2023 Ford Super Duty for Family Travel?

    A FX4 will be not too much behind Tremor. Save some money, buy custom gear and hardware.

    No More Metris > 2023, Sprinters lose gas motors > 2023

    I think, and this might be a rumor, that there is a state / federal law which assures that a manufacturer keeps making parts for some years after they discontinue the model. I don't know the name of that regulation or law. For the reason I was/am interested in the Nissan Van (low roof version)...

    No More Metris > 2023, Sprinters lose gas motors > 2023

    I saw one the other day. Well prepared by an avid angler. It had one person folded bad. It’s quite roomy too. I was wondering if it worth to consider it? Given the fact that it will be discontinued and soon after the parts will be scarce.

    Upland Hunting - General

    I'll be mostly staying in the NE. My dog has upcoming test, which takes two days, and which is on the same day as the woodcock opener in October. Kind of a bummer but will be back. I was barely able to get into a test so I could not changes the dates. Otherwise grouse in NY, NH and hopefully in...

    3.5 or 3.7 for a full sized transit van?

    The new NA 3.5 mated with the 10 speed should not be too sluggish. As I heard that engine is architecturally different from the eco boost and rather simpler. Also you can get it with a 4.3 diff ratio too. @Grassland know quite a bit about the Ford engines. Lets tag him here.

    What is gained by a gas 3/4-1 ton over 1/2 ton truck?

    Yes. you are right. Hiking is extremally immersive, though could be too much of rout-bound. From A-B. Hiking got me here. But, I suspect you are conflicting two similar yet different activities. It is possible you drive your 2500lb truck to a place, make it your site and then start hiking...

    What is gained by a gas 3/4-1 ton over 1/2 ton truck?

    The problem is that the definition of that word means different things for many. For one it's a 14 days solo trip in Northwest Maine and for another one it's staying in a campsite in NJ. But the payload has very important usage in other outdoor activities such as hunting, especially the duck...

    What is gained by a gas 3/4-1 ton over 1/2 ton truck?

    If the payload is something you care off, get a relatively lower trim truck, as lower as you can tolerate which will vary by person to person. Higher trims and off-road trims tend have lower payload. This is typical case for the1/2 and 3/4. (For the record a Honda Ridgeline has a just much of a...

    Will the New USSC Gun Rights Decision Change How, When, If You Carry a Firearm in Your Rig?

    I think the same thing was in NJ. You needed to have a written explanation for owning a gun (shoguns not included). Basically you had to write an essay and if they deemed you worth they would grant you a right (there actual people who think it's normal and the state grants you rights). It's all...

    What do you use for a truck gun?

    I have never been pulled over ( I never drive more than allowable speed). But I always thought what I would do... Somebody told me to handle him the gun license as I am handling him registration and rivers license and wait what he says. Also they don't have a right to go through you car...

    New Defender News

    No body ever made that claim that the true defender was a safe car. Even the most bonehead fans acknowledge it. They still could have made a safe relatively simple working truck while retaining it's historical design characteristic. They chose not to. Blending the Rang Rover style car in that...
