Sorry to hear that. I'm sure you made some good friends and there were those who felt the same about you and your vehicle's performance. Unfortunately, they sometimes have to create rules for the least common denominator, which is people in their AWD Hyundai thinking they can do the Mohave Trail.

You probably want to touch base with Livnitup, on mulitple forums, for assistance. https://www.f150forum.com/f129/forscan-14th-gen-f150s-481816/

Not too much new to add. It has been a busy summer of sports for my boys. I did an auto-x in my daily driver Camry hybrid and more recently have been a little sidetracked by catching up some maintenance on my friend's Mustang, which I'm housing for him temporarily. 68k miles, full Maximum...

I LOVE the Honda Element build, so cool! Make sure you have a refreshed coolant system, as the load from the additional air resistance is going to take some work to overcome, and that will generate some heat. I hope that your health holds out so that you have a long and enjoyable trip down the...

Today I added a Lusso garbage can to the passenger seat back. Right infront of the kid who likes to run through a box of Kleenex on a trip. :) Only $24 at Amazon.

I wish I could smell the air in some of these latest pictures!

This is amazing! Fantastic job.

The Fox Raptor dampers continue to perform well. They really helped to reduce the rear axle shimmy when hitting abrupt transitions. I noticed nothing negative when loaded down for our camping trip. Like most full size trucks, it drove better with weight in the bed. The MVP of the trip was...

Tonight I will be packing the truck up for it's first camping trip, but last week I spent 7 days and about 2700 miles with my brother's 2023 Tundra TRD Sport. He works for Toyota and, had I been patient, I could have used his discount to get a Tundra after June 2nd of this year. Even after...

Oh, I need those center console trim pieces....do you mind sharing the part numbers? Edit: Dangit, I thought those would fit an F150 but it looks like it's 250 only.

Just keeps getting better and better. This build delivers.

I'm sure something has changed for better or worse, but other than excellent damping over bumps, it drives the same it did before. :unsure:

That night was a difficult one for me, as I woke up multiple times with my heart pounding and had to pee a lot. Altitude sickness was rearing it's head again. Multiple readings from my watch confirmed that I was about as low as you want to get before medical assistance is required. We called...

The next project was to add gen. 1 Raptor rear shocks. I didn't expect too much of an improvement, but I was wrong. The truck absorbs imperfections without any shimmy from the rear end. Before: After:

As I alluded to in my previous post, exterior dimensions don't mean that the interior volume is even in the ballpark. The Tacoma is diminutive inside compared to the F150. Anyways, here's a picture of a 2000 F-150 vs. a 2018. The 2018 was on 34's with a level.

Distilled in Indiana! Gotta be made in Kentucky to be real, for me. :)

But have you been to where each one is made? There's at least one perk to living in central Kentucky. 😎 Missing from that image is my favorite....Knob Creek single barrel. Bonus points to @Todd n Natalie for making the image a link. :LOL:

The government is pushing gasoline CAFE and emissions requirements to the point that the internal combustion engine is reaching a wall. A point of compression increase is worth about 4% more efficiency. Given the standards that automakers are being held to, that is a huge opportunity...

The car manufacturers have previously asked the Government to raise the octane ratings sold in the US (similar to Europe, where the common minimum is about equal to our 91) so they could design engines that achieved better fuel economy. The Government said "no".

Don't be surprised with a conclusion that the noise is normal. The newer trucks make transmission noise at parking lot speeds. Also, if you're on Facebook, there are a couple +21 F150 groups you could join.
