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

    So buddy blew up his dura grip in his Mustang (4.10 gears, FBO and cams etc) and got a new one under warranty. He is going to something beefier so I just picked this up off him.

    2021 Nissan Frontier

    I'm excited about this and I'm not a fan of the mid size trucks for price point. Back in the days of the 2001-2011 Ranger the Frontier had it all over in power, and a better type of suspension AFAIC. Looked good, outside of the interior, but everything in that size and category had hard black...

    Late model Ford SuperCabs: Do the doors creak?

    14 SCAB 150 no squeaks but my 2008 Ranger SCAB had the exact noise you are talking about.

    F-150 Suspension Questions

    I have 516x rear shocks and for the money I've been fairly happy with them. I'm only running 5100 series up front and stock springs. I have a steel truck tho. Looking at the price I think for $900 that would be good performance.

    Looking for advice for on which full size trucks best fit my requirements.

    I'm finding the price range of trucks across the continent very interesting. As well as the fact there are places a truck 15 years old is even safe to put on the road and isn't compromised with rust. With regards to Fuelly, I find that 9/10 people just leave 50/50 as city/highway miles when...

    Looking for advice for on which full size trucks best fit my requirements.

    6.0 Chevy 2500/3500 or 6.2 F250/350, in low trims with the least amount of electronic gadgets. If you are considering a 5.9 Chrysler then you are already in the mindset of poor fuel economy.

    Help me pick a trailer type

    I have also failed to find something in that price range with the features you seek, and also with durability or reasonable material selection and build quality. We ended up with putting a deposit on an Escape 19, tho originally were looking at an Escape 17a although a 17B would better fit your...

    2020 Ford Transit AWD

    I feel like my 2018 is a Ford 9.75" axle. I don't see why an aftermarket LSD or locker couldn't be added.

    Propane cooking stove

    That GSI stove looks trick!!!! I have same issue with my Coleman. Thankfully I've managed to figure out cooking eggs without burning them. But yeah trying to simmer sucks. Especially when windy.

    Power Wagon vs F250 Tremor

    Man it's like $4.50 a gallon for 91 octane here I can't imagine what 93 would be. You Americans are spoiled! Only reason I can afford to run 91 octane in my truck is I put on 6-8k KM a year only now that it's out of fleet. Since I get 15 l/100 in town on "34s" and like 17-18 l/100 towing a light...

    2020 Ford Transit AWD

    In regards to the 3.5 NA cyclone motor, it's essentially the same motor as the 3.7 cyclone, which I have in my 2018 Transit 250 MR LWB. I have 3.73 gears. It's derated compared to my F150, and as it isn't tuned it suffers from the throttle lag and lazy shifting from Ford. It is a high revving...

    Mazda CX-5 GTR/Signature or Toyota Rav4 Adventure/TRD

    Let's see some pics later. When shopping for my wife we looked at CX5, RAV4 Adventure or Trail whatever we call it in Canada, and Grand Cherokee (yeah how the real 4x4 that's larger and heavier got in that running) RAV4 interior with the orange plastic bits and trim on the seats was an instant...

    2012 F150 Mild Build

    This is the biggest disadvantage to steel trucks, and my biggest reason for wanting to ditch my 12th gen for an aluminum truck

    Power Wagon vs F250 Tremor

    Let us know what you end up with, so I can live vicariously through you. Personally I'd skip the Tremor, as they don't offer it on a Supercab which makes little sense to me, and just build up an XLT trim truck with some aftermarket suspension and tires. I'm biased to Ford as I am more familiar...

    Recommendations for portable solar charging system

    We are very likely starting out with the lead acid do to upfront cost. The storage box is just fiberglass from what I can tell, but I could put some rigid insulation on 2-4 sides of the batteries. Generally when we camp it's only below freezing by a few degrees and usually only over night...

    Recommendations for portable solar charging system

    My wife and I have placed a deposit for an Escape Trailers model 19. (Placed a build slot deposit, trailer will not start production until March) https://escapetrailer.com/the-19-foot-escape/ They have several options for batteries and solar. The factory solar panel is 190w and flat mounted to...

    Why no Ram 1500 Builds!

    Online in Canada the ram builder only lets me choose from 3.21 or 3.55 for the 20 classics. 3.92 is a good option tho, I've just never seen one on a lot. Generally don't see ones with LSD on the lot either. I guess we are back to how useless dealers are because when I was looking at Rams locally...

    Why no Ram 1500 Builds!

    Isn't there aftermarket springs available for the Ram 1500/Classic? Like, in place of what the add a leaf does for leaf spring trucks? I was under the impression the rear differential didn't easily accept aftermarket lockers, and was more expensive to re gear. I can't remember why as it's been...
