    What do you use for a truck gun?

    I'm not familiar with this pattern rifle, what's that? Full power cartridge I see. If I could get my hands on one I'm jonesing for a Marlin dark in 30-30. Wouldn't mind another Chiappa Alaskan take down but it doesn't feed most .38 reliably and I don't hand load so .357 is getting pricey. Plus...

    The Good and the Bad about Baffin and Sorel Boots.

    I'm Canadian, and I not only can't afford a condo in Florida, I don't have ten pairs of full on winter boots! Where do you live 67Cj5? Mind you as I get older I'm starting to mind the cold where I didn't before. I have a few pairs of active use fall and light winter boots which are dandy when...

    She’ll recommendation -2019 F150

    Another point for used is not everyone lives in a super populated place where what you want used is floating around in abundance for 20% of a new one. My Leer 100x or R or whatever the lower model is has been ok, other than the tailgate plastic trim piece and the locking T handles. I'm on #2...

    TRIP REPORT: Smoked out of the Canadian bush.

    Man I wish we lived in BC. Thanks for this, looks like a good time, and glad the slides and fires didn't get you. That was a bad year the smoke was hazing up Manitoba even.

    2017 F-150 build...Everyone meet Walter White

    Is that just a cover on a typical folding table or what you got there?

    10th Generation F-150 Overland build (The Craptor)

    My P2 is on year four going on five. So far so good. Nice not having it in the knee bashing position

    The full sized mid-size, my 2014 F150 "Fiddy"

    New 5100s on order. No idea when they will arrive. Rear main seal is leaking, so great news there. The LSD sure makes driving on hard pack with loose snow on top interesting. Couldn't make it up an incline. Truck just slowly slid sideways with both wheels spinning. Plus you can put the truck...

    So are those made from the beds that fell off when the frames rusted out on the previous gen Tacoma's, or...

    Livin' Lite Quicksilver series, feedback welcome

    The Mark 2 Discover has a lot of compromise for our use. We don't need or want a toy hauler. Although I kept the Livin Lite you hauler (6.5x15 I think it was) on the look out list but it's GVWR is more than my truck can handle, and again, compromise. From all the years of searching, what we...

    Livin' Lite Quicksilver series, feedback welcome

    Yes. We don't have 100k to spend on a base camp trailer. Escape was the highest quality we could afford that met my wife's minimum for features, and my minimum for construction type and materials. Our final options list needs to be complete in March for our production slot. Trailer is to be...

    Livin' Lite Quicksilver series, feedback welcome

    Yeah Thor killed the brand after corner cutting. Pre 2017 is your goal if you can find something used. I wish I had bought their 13' enclosed trailer with tip out bed way back in the day when it existed.

    Truck bed storage ideas

    I can open my swing case on the passenger side with my cap/topper on and with the case against the truck bed side, but the lid does not open 100%. In most cases I can get in and out whatever I have in there, but depending what you had it might not work. But you could just push the bed back a bit...

    2017 F-150 build...Everyone meet Walter White

    On my wife's Elantra GT we bought aftermarket wheels and they came with hub spacers for the application as while the lug pattern was exact, the hub wasn't. On an OEM wheel I'd not expect this issue.

    The full sized mid-size, my 2014 F150 "Fiddy"

    I could, but then i'm left hunting for non OEM bolts for the rest of time, and making life difficult for the next owner. I'm sure any grade 9.8 bolt would do in reality. These shocks have 3 winters on them and are rusty, plus one reservoir had a clamp failure and was dangling and leaking from...

    The full sized mid-size, my 2014 F150 "Fiddy"

    We had quite a bit of snow and strong wind, so some of the new residential developments had quite the drifts (over a foot). I powered through a few in 2HI where I know before the LSD I'd have got stuck and needed 4HI. On ice and polished hard pack truck is still useless in 2HI with the KO2s but...

    Québec - Labrador - New Founland and Atlantic provinces - The Big Loop - August 2018

    We have found you can avoid crowds by going to the East at the end of April or beginning of May. We saw less than 10 people at the Hopewell Rocks. But the wet breeze was chilly! Meat Cove is nice, we enjoyed the scenery over some beers, fish and chips at the little restaurant. That's a place...

    I've looked at skinny 33s and haven't seen a tire close to 50# never mind less.
