Since the pandemic my F150 sits more than usual. So it's been 8000km oil change on full synthetic, buuut that takes about a year to get that recently. Hopefully now that I closed my business and won't work 6-7 days a week I can put some klicks on it again.

IIRC on that gen Chevy to go over 2, 2.5" you would need a dif drop and or UCA. The angles get too extreme for the CV joints when articulating if you default lift is higher than that. You "could" put a spacer on top of a bilstein to get more than two inches, but I sure wouldn't do it without UCA...

The cost of a Toyota certainly varies by region just like it does for domestics. Historically Toyota here will point you to the door if you don't pay the sticker price. Prior to COVID you could routinely see 8-15k off MSRP on an F series, depending on trim and time of year. Was $41k MSRP for a...

Does that tent have insulated walls?

And if you're lucky the drain plug didn't go on with an impact

I've not understood the appeal of the 4Runner for the last five or so years. 45-60k CAD and a two decade old 5 speed automatic. I appreciate platforms that age well, as it reduces waste/consumerism, and keeps maintenance down if it's a well designed and worked out system. Your telling me they...

Admin, feel free to move this to fireside chat if you think it belongs there. What are the intervals people on this forum are using for service on modern vehicles? (Last 15 years) Do you follow the OEM general service interval? Severe/commercial service? When the vehicle tells you to? Something...

How many miles did you end up putting on that truck?

The 6.0 is a reliable engine I've heard, but thirsty. A transfer case with low range would help tons compared to what you have now, and can always put steeper gearing in the van to help Is there a forum for like landscaper or contractors who might be towing with 2500 6.9 vans you get get some...

At least 265/70 and 285/70 can be found with C load rating, but seeing one in person the 285 might be a tight squeeze. I didn't get a chance to turn the wheel lock to lock or anything like that to see what kind of clearance there is. The super low first gear should be a big help with larger...

Finally saw a Bronco on the lot but it was a trade in at the Nissan lot of all places. Not sure what they traded in for, I guess a Rogue because that's about all that's in stock there right now. Didn't even look for a price. Curious to who had that for such a short time that it was traded in...

Because it doesn't share the same engine platform. The 3.7 cyclone/3.5 duratec/3.5ecoboost etc is a common engine platform with major design commonality. The turbo versions have tons of issues compared to the NA longitudinal versions. Transverse applications have water pump issues. My guess is...

My buddies 2017 with second gen 3.5 has had chains and phasers, along with something else all done under warranty. He doesn't keep the reports handy so it's hard to get a clear list of what exactly was done. He had the chain slap noise on cold start up at like 20k. As much a Fiddy fan bois I am...

Not surprised the 4L60E and the 4.8 are clapped out with 3.42 gears. I haven't followed the "newer" GM vans, are they using a beefier six speed auto at least in the newer ones? What about putting steeper gears in? I don't understand GMs obsession with the tallest gears possible, but then again...

Can't find any D window type wheels with a high positive offset in fiddy bolt pattern either

How much bigger than stock is the tire? Or is it same OD? Could you have gone with a smaller wheel?

I have a love/hate with the Ram boxes. They are the most convenient and yet most inconvenient things ever, depending on what you are doing. Looks like they work great in your set up and I love that the rack leaves them accessible

This seems like a basecamp tent. Not something you use for two nights at a time. Seems pretty robust

AFAIK all Rebels have air suspension from factory.

What did you put those on?
