    35" or 37" tires on a DD F350 or Ram 3500

    I would love to run 37s but they’re so much more money than 35s unless you get lucky on CL. I’m running 33s on my leveled f350 and it looks silly!! Can’t wait to get some 35s. Either way you’re fine.

    Cross country trip rifle?

    sorry everyone...didn't mean to stir up the pot so much... rnArmy- you hit on part of my dilemma, if one is ever in NEED of a long gun why not have one that's up for the task instead of worrying about what other's may think and having one that's maybe not? Things are bad if you're banging out...

    Cross country trip rifle?

    So....I never really thought about taking a rifle (or shotgun) while on a road trip until I was cruising the truck gun thread even though when I head out to the backcountry I always do....While in my state,or bordering states, I'm not worried about any kind of legalities...I was curious how many...

    Inflatable Stand Up Paddleboard for Long Term Travel

    I've got an iSUP that I sometimes air travel with. To your point about keeping them inside and off the roof, They're bulky! And so are the storage bags that sometimes come with them. It's nice to be able to stuff your water gear into the bag and keep it all together. If I was going to be bumming...

    Cross country trip rifle?

    Getting ready to hit the road...Colorado to Michigan. Definitely bringing a handgun, not sure which one...G19 or HK45...? How many of you take a rifle while traveling the interstates? Worried about Illinois! Only rifle I can fit in my bag is a SCAR-H. Thought about a shotgun too, but I would...

    I’ve wanted one forever. There’s a 15 footer for sale somewhat locally for $500. Hard to think about buying a canoe in the middle of winter when I really need new xcountry skis!!

    Offset and Backspacing??

    I will be putting 35's on my truck soon and I don't want any rubbing. It's a '14 F350 with 2 inch leveling springs. I'm torn between new wheels with the proper amount of offset/backspacing or new control arms. Cost is a minor concern... Any advice is welcome. I have been researching the wheel...

    2019 Ford Ranger Taking Orders

    Ended up doing a bunch of laps around the block at the auto show in San Francisco last week. There were a few rangers out in the street. I thought they looked great. Didn’t look like the ones on the one Ford video I watched. They must’ve had the fancy models to show off. I’d run one if I could.

    For a beginner, what should I build?

    I would say keep your truck buy a topper and build a sleep platform with storage underneath, then throw some taller skinny tires on there. If that doesn't scratch the itch then buy a project for cheap and dig in. So many options....
