    Ford just trademarked the Excursion nameplate, looks like it's coming back

    In what, 5 years from now? They can't even deliver the Bronco

    2023 Ford Raptor- Continuation

    Black housing but non tinted lenses are out in force these days If I didn't have to replace bumpers and get a new grille I'd pop in a set of LED alpharex headlights in that flavour.

    Chevy Colorado / Technical Ability

    Doesn't have the street cred of the Toyota badge. Do stock 4 runners come with full and decent skid plates? (Legit I have no idea) You can do a lot of things with good armor. Drive slow, pick good lines, and slide those steel plates down the rocks.

    Birthday gun for myself.

    I'm actually not at all a fan of stock less shotguns. I have a 12" bbl China 870 clone with a stock and the thing weighs like 8lbs still or something outrageous. Plus it's... Soul less. I've been trying to find another shortie shotgun that takes chokes or has rifle sights. I have a Weatherby I...

    2016 Chevy Silverado LTZ Z71

    That's some pretty tall blocks. Stacked blocks is the worst, so I'd take a 3.5" block all day long before I stacked. 3.5" will be ok for DD it you will likely see some axle wrap in deep snow or off road.

    Trip to the northernmost point of any continental mainland

    Coldest I have experienced was maybe -36°C. And that sucked. I cannot fathom -54° BEFORE the windchill!!! Amazing!

    Birthday gun for myself.

    Well this guy is just great. But knowing how much more powerful .44 is still doesn't help my decision lol

    2019 Ranger 5G Crew Cab

    Those were bolt on sliders? If so there is one big advantage Ranger has over F150. No real sliders available for the F series. Looking good

    Does it Exist? Newer AWD Tall-Wagon Van Thing You can Sleep In

    You can find AWD 1500 Chevy/GMC in Canada as well On one hand the Astro price is comically high. It's a vehicle platform discontinued 15 years ago, that was designed over 3 decades ago. Other than size and towing ability for size, it's been eclipsed by mini vans and full size vans for years...

    Birthday gun for myself.

    Not my birthday yet, but I'm planning ahead so it shows up by then. Everything is out of stock and takes forever to ship since this quarantine stuff started. Yeah .38 is cheap and fun. .357 out of a 12" BBL isn't anything to sneeze at. Would deter a black bear hopefully. My buddy has a 336...

    Does it Exist? Newer AWD Tall-Wagon Van Thing You can Sleep In

    That's some low clicks for an Astro. In the early 2000s I almost bought one. Always fighting with painters and plumbers for them, good size, heavier duty than a mini van, and AWD. I'm going to pull up specs but I doubt an astro is much smaller than a short wheelbase Transit 150. Edit: well...

    Does it Exist? Newer AWD Tall-Wagon Van Thing You can Sleep In

    Where do you find an astro that doesn't have half a million clicks on it? Also the old vortec is heavy on gas. The shortest standard roof Transit (130" wheelbase) is reasonably sized. Going to be very expensive in AWD. The Toyota Sienna doesn't have a spare tire because the AWD drivetrain goes...

    Highway robbery with half tons

    I remember when GM in particular but domestics in general would give ******** away with incentives for financing and leasing, and then a year or three later was going for peanuts wholesale. Some of the reason I owned so many vehicles over the years. You could buy used for cheap. Now, used trucks...

    Birthday gun for myself.

    What better way to spoil myself for my birthday than a new lever gun? I'm really jonesing for a Chiappa Alaskan take down in 12" barrel, but am unsure on what calibre. .357 is affordable and I can shoot .38 for fun. Or do I go .44 rem mag for utility? (6.6 lbs and 24" OAL) The .357 isn't on...

    Request: pics/info of your 2009-2014 F150 Supercrew builds

    For #3 see if there is some plastic drawer/tote/organizer thing that fits snugly. Like hit up a store like Canadian Tire, home Depot, etc and see if any half decent off the shelf sort of thing not designed to be that back seat organizer ends up being just the thing. I've seen it more in...

    1: I'm on the fence for Decked. I had a system for several years. The durability wasn't there, and depending what you use the bed for they can be both a blessing and a curse. I think really cold weather was the weak points, I bet somewhere that didn't get colder than a few degrees below freezing...

    I'm cold! You can help!

    Obviously not intending in sleeping in a wet bag, but I'm under the impression I can dry a synthetic bag in the field far faster than a down one. Yeah breathing condensation is fun to manage. Sometimes your roll or turn your head in just the right way while sleeping to make a nice damp pocket...

    I'm cold! You can help!

    I use hot pockets in between my doubled up socks. I switch to dedicated sleeping socks, and have another larger pair for doubling up and with the hot packs in between my toes are toasty. I had purchased a -29C bag from a local outdoor store, but got a call that the 1 left in stock was actually...
