    Is Offroading in a SuperDuty Really That Bad?

    I'm not totally in the know with super duty suspension but here's my thought. Can you piece together suspension components from various companies to make the ride better? Like different leaf springs, coils, airbags, steering stabilizer, etc? Even then, a Carli backcountry system is only like...

    Offroad jacks... really?

    I like them and have seen them in use. The work great and apparently the quality is fantastic and warranty/customer service is top notch....which would be enough for me. But I have no practical use for one other than thinking I look cool. I bring a large bottle jack and a 2 foot section of a...

    What online tools do you use for long (road) trip planning?

    I use Onx for everything travel related. Last time I did a long trip, I had it from the meet up point in San Diego going to the desert and north through J Tree and then home. Multiple way points to check out spots if they would be good for future camping. I find it much easier than any other...

    New truck build: RTT vs Wedge vs Pop-up camper?

    Check out OVRLNDFX4 and his IG page. His truck is siiiiick. I wish I could have a Project M. That would be ideal for me. I've been tent camping with the toddler and wife. We have yet to go with toddler and 9 month old for an overnight trip but I imagine we'll just get a bigger tent. Tent is...

    Darko: 2024 Ram 2500

    Nice truck! I have also heard great things about Smartcap. Have you considered a GFC or something similar? Best of both worlds if you ask me. I had a fiberglass shell on my old F150 and liked it enough to not get rid of it but definitely didn't love it. GFC allows for secure storage and a place...

    Would an Extra $5,000+ Make a Difference?

    I cant imagine it would make that much of a difference for the majority of people. It's still stupid expensive for a small truck. I'll throw out a number and say it will sway 2%-3% of people who are considering a Rivian. I have a two friends that have them and they absolutely love them...

    PLEASE !!!! pick my new truck for our build

    7.3 Godzilla hands down. I test drove one a few months ago for fun and was blown away. I heard they improved it from 2020 models too, don't know what they improved but I remember reading something about it. Reliability wise, they haven't been out long enough to know longevity but the maintenance...

    Appreciate it! I'm always going back and forth between a boat or a TT.

    eatSleepWoof gets a Winnie

    What's the plan when the kiddo is out of bassinet and needs something larger, but hasn't transitioned to a bed yet? I'm at that point with my toddler and she still sleeps in a play pen thing. I have rented a few trailers for one nighters and non of them are wide enough to fit the playpen so we...

    Should I buy a 2024 Tacoma TRD Off Road?

    You can, I haven't seen any on my local lots yet tho.

    Should I buy a 2024 Tacoma TRD Off Road?

    Since you'll be car shopping, do yourself a favor and test drive the half ton trucks. F150, Tundy, etc. They're well worth the upgrade and bigger size. The extra space is awesome. I think you'll be surprised.

    Project 'Patience' - 2023 F150

    My neighbor has a 2023 Raptor with 37 package and all the amber lights at night looks so awesome. Makes me want to upgrade my headlight housing. They're stupid expensive that is something I cant justify.

    Should I buy a 2024 Tacoma TRD Off Road?

    You will probably be fine. I have seen a lot of things on IG with the Tacoma's going down hill in quality. Mainly being unreliable cheap plastic interior parts not working or not being solid/breaking. I personally think Tacomas over rated. But in the mid size truck market, there isn't anything...

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

    Similar to a Raptor/F150, you could build a SD XLT and have it be better or on par with a Tremor and not pay the extra money for a specialty package. I've gone back and forth with a custom license plate. I'd say my truck is in between a Raptor and a Tremor as it sits right now, but I think...

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

    A SD Tremor is definitely in my 5-10 year future. I want my kids to have the same active childhood I did with wakeboarding/boating, camping, dirtbiking, racing and all that awesome stuff. For now, Walter White is where I'll be.
