    Double cab long bed Taco vs. double cab Tundra

    Yep, gotta watch that. My brother just learned this with his new boat and towing. Had to trade the tundra in on an F150. His 2014 tundra had less towing capacity than my wife's grand cherokee!

    A pretty decent video about how Harley-Davidson killed itself

    I get the nostalgia aspect of the old tech. If it works why change it? They have a distinct look and sound that many have replicated over the years. Looks like it might not be working anymore. Time to diversify, I wish they'd kept the Buell brand around. I took one of those livewires for a...

    Looking for a good Creeper - recommendations?

    I'd go bone creeper. It'll be my next one when I break the one I currently use at work. Large wheels don't get hung up on small stones like the little ones do and they're comfy.

    Another DIY truck camper

    Also measured squat on the truck with it loaded and got about an inch and a half. Not sure what that means yet. Going to have to hit the scales once I figure out the tiedown issue

    Another DIY truck camper

    Well, I put it in the back of the truck again last night and found a problem. I had originally intended to mount it to the factory bed mount locations in the box. That's the reason for the access ports out the sides at the front. Trouble is that I made it fit so tight in the box that getting...

    Another DIY truck camper

    Some more got done. Working on the wiring and installing the cupboard doors now. Got the top on and the last of the fiberglassing done. Waiting on some raptor liner to arrive to complete the bottom. It's still far from complete but I am hoping to be able to use it a little come August...

    Is 4x4 really necessary for a cabover build?

    I don't have any experience with it in a cab over configuration, but I wouldn't own a truck without 4x4. I've had to 'rescue' my father in law from the road right in front of his house when he tried to go driving in about 8" of fresh snow. He had a 2wd dodge with an open diff. Not to pick on...

    Canadians... What's it really like?

    I like the idea of having these community safety officers and addressing some of the underlying issues like mental health. It's a complicated issue with many moving parts involved. With more and more people sharing the same amount of space the need for laws and law enforcement will only...

    Canadians... What's it really like?

    Not police. They can't press charges or carry guns. Awesome support for the actual RCMP and community though! Assisting the police with their work overload and helping bridge some distrust between citizens and the police.

    Can you unpin the wire from the connector and run a new wire?

    Idacamper2.0 Color change, please let me know your thoughts.

    That looks awesome! Good job on the layering. I was sceptical about you getting crisp lines due to the paint texture, but it came out great. I asked earlier in the thread, but I think you may have missed it. Any reason for going with the monstaliner over raptor liner? I am going to be buying...

    When the motorcycle itself is the adventure:

    She's got the 675 triple. Lol, I totally hear you on the Italian bike thing. I've got the budget Ducati, a monster 1100evo. Timing belts every two years and you have to set tension with a guitar tuner???!! And desmo valves that have double the shims. It puts a smile on my face when I look...

    When the motorcycle itself is the adventure:

    Nice bike My gf was seriously considering an 800 brutale, they are beautiful bikes. We ended up getting her a Street triple instead. I was worried about parts availability, since dealer support is non existent in our area for MV. We already have one Italian bike in the garage and that is...

    Another DIY truck camper

    Been working on it quite a bit over the last couple months. Got the pop up mostly finished, insulated and painted. Finished the third and final paint coat on the camper. It far from nice, but nice from far. Each time I painted I either ended up with a couple runs or sags, or a bug would land...

    Ford Fullsize Thread !!!!

    Yep, figured as much. I really liked the car, but the transmission I couldn't live with. After multiple new clutches and dealing with insulting trade in and buy back offers from Ford, we traded it in on a new VW. I heard there's a class action lawsuit against Ford regarding that dual clutch...

    Ford Fullsize Thread !!!!

    I like it so far, but it's only got 8000kms. It's my first Ford and I swore I would never buy Ford after dealing with the focus my GF brought to the relationship. Other brands didn't offer what I was looking for at the time. What's up with your Focus? Dual clutch problems?

    Do you regret buying a base model truck?

    I've always had mid trim trucks. GMC SLE, Ram SLT, and Ford XLT. They seem to have most everything I want. Aside from the mechanicals my 'must haves' creature comforts are a power driver's seat, remote start, power doors, windows and mirrors. My wife is now 'borrowing' my truck every few...
