    2017 F-150 build...Everyone meet Walter White

    Took my truck in to get some new brake pads before the trip this weekend and it turned into a new axle seal on the passenger side. Yet another expensive repair. I also have some gear oil leaking out of the grommet where the wire for my E locker goes into the top of the differential. With the...

    eatSleepWoof gets a Winnie

    If your kid/s have a solid sleep schedule like mine do, I 100% recommend. Ours get packed any time we are gone for even a night. If they had passports they'd have 7 stamps lol

    eatSleepWoof gets a Winnie

    Got a slumberpod for the crib? When I camp with the kids I have a blow up mattress for my wife and I, two pack and plays and 2 slumber pods over the pack and plays. Lots of stuff to bring but fits like a glove.

    Life update for anyone who cares. Deavers still making noise, learned to live with it. Day tripping to AB this weekend to get them to bounce a good amount in hopes they settle. Desert will be mid 90's so I'm excited for some heat. I have two stellar leads on some OBS Fords, one is a 250 and...

    Is GM not the best platform for a overland build?

    Ford and RAM are definitely more popular but for your specific question, it will likely be able to handle it with no problem at all as long as it's not overweight. The solid axle vs IFS has been debated so many times, it really comes down to preference. IFS definitely has more moving parts...

    Power Wagon as a family Exploration Vehicle

    https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/new-cars/2024/ram/2500/power-wagon/san-diego-ca?searchRadius=0&zip=92109 There is a 2024 Tradesman right down the street from me for 11k off MSRP! I'd imagine you'd want something nicer but dang what a discount.

    Power Wagon as a family Exploration Vehicle

    Few other thoughts, If you're looking to buy right now, RAMs can be had for steep discounts. Seen some for 15k below MSRP. Apparently the transmissions are garbage and have a lot of problems.

    Power Wagon as a family Exploration Vehicle

    Hmm. I'm tempted to say go with an F250 Tremor just for the towing/hauling capability if and when you need it but you don't seem to need it. Given all things, a Super Duty Tremor and a PW are very comparable, even down to the MPG. The PW will have more articulation given the suspension, Sway...

    Just heard interview about RAM models

    Did they say why? I've read they cant move them off the lot and they have been steeply discounted.

    That's what I thought too but checked the instructions again and that's what they say to torque it to.

    2017 F-150 build...Everyone meet Walter White

    Little update for you all. I am chasing down a creaking noise in my Deavers. I have no idea what it is coming from. It seems like I can only hear it when I'm going slow and the bumps are small. Definitely a creaking, not a squeaking. The bushing seem to be lubed properly and nothing visually is...

    Ram power wagon value?

    Seems a little high to me. RAM won an unofficial award in 2024. The award was for being the slowest selling truck on the market in 2024. I'd put money on it saying you could get that, or very close to it, by going to RAM dealers in your area and negotiating.

    2024 F-350 aluminum bed

    Putting a camper on top or is this a work truck? Looks awesome. Rarely on here do we see someone post out of the blue with nothing but progress lol. Usually it's "here's my plan" and then nothing.
