The Forest River stuff I only suggest if your super handy and ok doing your own fixes. Couple of friends bought ForestRiver popups at the beginning of COViD and they aren’t handy type of people. The trailers have spent more time at the dealer getting faulty stuff fixed vs in use or storage. If...

Yeah cars are expensive prior to this purchase most expensive vehicle I bought was wifes Fusion Energi 34k with $7500 tax credit on top of that. Lol If your not in a region where houses have shot up in value its even harder to imagine how people pay or likely don’t pay for these vehicles. I...

2019 mantis in socal 30k. Thats number 4 in 4 days. I think the RV market will be fat with options by September and prices coming down ?. If a 2020 pops up in the 30ishk zone I may be doing a road trip to go get it. Pre covid these were in stock everywhere and savy buyers were picking them up...

? I’ve ran BFG Ko’s, BFG Rugged Terrains, Michelin LTX’s, Yokohama stuff. The BFG Advantage Sport has been my top favorite highway / occasional dirt tire. I’ll be putting them on my Expedition when the cheap squishy factory tires are done.

4 used Taxa Mantis posted last 4 days. One over priced and two approaching interesting. 2021 at $38k and a 2019 at $31k. When a 2020 or 2021 starts getting into the 31ish zone I’ll likely get serious and looking at them.

My Platinum HD was $500 more than the limited standard non hd. The Limiteds and the special package ones all sell easily vs the $85,000 loaded Platinums don’t sell. I got $12,000 off on my platinum HD way better deal than the non HD limited they wouldn’t deal on. Most expensive Expedition is...

BFG Advantage Sport T/A

GX err fancy 4 runner and like 20yr old technology. I’ve owned 4runner, J80 and Sequoia my current vehicle Toyota wasn’t even considered 2019 Expedition has been fantastic zero regrets No I would argue that Bronco buyers are not really cross shopping GX’s. Jeeps yes...

30k a yr or more my neighbor buys 100k Camry’s and junks them at 350,000. Cheapest route for 30+ k yr driving. Modern vehicles are pretty impressive regarding build quality over vehicles built 10yrs ago. Your over thinking it. Plus if your not getting paid on your 30k of mileage maybe cut...

Even with planning its not possible to go 6 months out with kids, school stuff etc. I have already had to cancel a trip for June due to a school thing that was just announced Thursday.

My kids are 9 and 12. My dad is looking for a B+ for lots of trip ideas next couple of yrs. My 9 yr old Life Time Trailer has been great but it doesn’t work for windy desert or cold shoulder months or Bear restricted areas etc. I’m likely going to find a 2020 Taxa Mantis used in a yr or so...

Keep in mind the old Ranger is literally 20 yrs old already. I would look at used Colorado/Canyons before doing Ranger and I had a 89 Ranger for 8 yrs and 180,000 miles. The Canyon/ Colorado has a old well established v6 and pretty bullet proof transmission. I would for sure have that on my...

Your looking during COVID RV insanity!!! Nothing RV ish is currently priced at logical prices. You would likely save money renting stuff till next winter. I’m already seeing Pandemic buyers starting to sell stuff but at stupid prices like more than the same stuff new pre pandemic. I have put my...

Are you thinking new Ranger or the crazy 20 yr old one? The new ranger isn’t super modern especially compared to the 1500 its about the same design era just with modern tech updates. Ford is actually working on the “modern Ranger” replacement right now. I don’t see longevity or warranty really...

The Sport is a sorely needed long over due entry level SUV thats no doubt going to cut into Subaru sales. I do think Ford needs to fix the transfer case on it so its flat towable and also more durable ie less prone to overheating and AWD disabled. I would have bought one instead of a Subaru when...

Thats the kind of stuff that gets the investigators on the right track and big busts?. Glad he was able to include a heads up on the guys prior activities.

My Expedition was $82,400 with taxes paid cash. Thats Land Cruiser pricing. I really don’t buy into resale value especially on trucks I keep and use as trucks for 12+ yrs. Vehicles are a depreciating asset. Quality differences in the US where 99% of our roads are paved mehh doesn’t matter to me...

I have that tire carrier used it on my Land Cruiser and owned a Outback for 10yrs. I tried it on the Outback for kicks. Too heavy lost too much rear suspension height. The Impreza /XV is a cool car but weight is your enemy!!! Talking like you need to be thinking backpacking gear with the XV or...

Thats part of the issue the scrap yards aren’t involved. Organized crime rings pack containers and ship them back to China where they get max $. Even the scrap yards are left out of the loop. UK has the same exact issue.

So US and UK law enforcement just in the past few months have realized that Catalytic converter theft is largely tied to big criminal organizations and lots of evidence found at large busts are shipping containers full headed to china. Since the “Organized” crime aspect has been noticed far...
