    Rise of the Adventure Toaster

    I remember riding in one of those on trips to the airfield when I was a Security Forces airman. The most memorable ride was probably the time that we accidentally ran over the can of m203 grenades:oops:

    F-150 Suspension recommendations please!

    This is timely, as I have basically the same truck with the exception of mine being a long bed. I currently have stock suspension on the truck, and hate the ride. I feel every bump, and the overall ride of the truck feels "unsettled" and jerky. Do you dislike the bilstein 5100's? People seem to...

    Rust Treatment For Inside of Rack Tubing

    What about the stuff they use to coat the inside of steel bicycle frames? I can't remember the name of it....

    2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Electric Truck

    That was the biggest thing that annoyed me with my Chrysler (that I just sold) Uconnect system. Being Chrysler, it was always glitchy, and there wasnt a single function that I could do when it would start. I think the Ram trucks use the same system, you won't see me driving one. I like the big...

    Dodge camper shell

    Looking great! One thing I don't think you have mentioned, is how you're keeping the camper attached to the truck? Are you just using topper clamps? I can't tell from your pictures. Great work though, you've given me inspiration to try something similar.

    Why does no one use a high truck shell?

    I love this one... what brand/model is it? I have a black CC 6.5ft bed F150, that cap would look NICE on my truck!

    Cool Jeeps You Can't Have - Mahindra of India

    This to me would negate the ONLY benefit of a side-by-side, the possibility of a dump bed. I have an early CJ-5, and definitely could see this being useful on my Jeep. I'm going to brainstorm how I could make it work with a roll cage now that I've seen the concept!

    2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Electric Truck

    I'm really intrigued by this truck, but I don't consider myself an early adopter. I'll more than likely buy one of these as my next truck, but given I just bought a 2016 f150 king ranch last week (5 years old seems to be a sweet spot for mileage/depreciation) itll probably be another 4-5 years...

    Looking for some confirmation - Suzuki DRZ-400?

    I haven't ridden in a state that allowed lane splitting since 2005, but I recall that when I was on my motorcycle, it felt much safer. When you were sitting in your car and the bike went by, it startled you. The difference is that the guy on the bike was controlling the situation and is able...

    CJ5 Resto-Mod Project

    I've never driven one, but if you're going mod heavy, consider the cockpit ergonomics. Apparently, stock they're terrible. This sounds like a build that I'd be very interested to follow.

    Land Rover ideas for Jeeps

    Jscherb, I love that picnic bag! I'd totally add one of those in that exact color scheme to my King Ranch F150, and my CJ5 Jeep :)

    CJ-6 "Rat Bastard"

    Subscribed! I'm looking forward to following along with your build. I have a 1957/1970 cj5, but I'd love to extend it to cj6 length someday. I feel like the cj6 is the perfect length and wheelbase for jeep adventures, while still being super maneuverable. Good luck with your project, and dont...

    CJ5 Resto-Mod Project

    I wholeheartedly agree with you, except that they're pretty much the only game in town, so it makes it really hard to choose an alternative company unless you can source NOS (which is drying up quite a bit).

    F150 EV teaser pic

    I love the fact they're calling it the "lightning". such a great and fitting reuse of a previous f150 name!
