I’m thinking about seeing if Weeroll might want to do a custom rig for us. I family in Oregon so if I go that route I’m going to talk with them.

We only have 50 states that choose to do whatever speed limits they like. When cowboys can run their stock at 100mph you find Cowboy states with 80mph posted limits or no posted limits. If you throw a tire and send your stock into the next time zone you might get a chewing out from gramps.

Yeah No I think Toyota got caught with their pants down fooling around with their sister. Oh and that 10spd was co developed with GM. I think a whole new game is about to go down regarding capable, powerful and crazy efficient rigs.

You know that 10speed with hybrid motor sitting between the Engine and torque converter? I Think thats Fords new Hybrid game. The Aviator gives us a glance into that chrystal ball. 450hp 600ftlbs of torque out of 3L. I think that is a game changer folks be it smaller compact trucks or SUVs and...

Yeah I thought the same thing while giving him lots of space. But apparently its a thing. He even was on his cellphone ?. I was passed going the other way by three semis they weren’t doing 100 but they still passed me at a good clip and I was between 80-85. Forget the sedans and Autobahn...

TFL just did a basic review/ commercial for the first Ranger tune kit. Nothing crazy 100% stock and the tuned drag strip run was way different than the stock run.

Easy my friend. Speed! Ever been passed by a pickup towing a trailer with 6 horses in it? Probably but how about when your doing 85mph 136kmph?. Vehicle stability and trailer ratings are directly related to speed. Every two years I do a big National Park trip with my family. 2700-3000 miles...

The 2.3 Ford is using in the Ranger and 2020 Explorer (which by the way is nearly identical in size to the 1st gen Sequoia) got some major component reworking and beefing up compared to the Focus RS version. Not to mention it has diesel like torque starting at 1200rpm. The Toyota 3.6 you flog...

Except in LA full sized parking isn’t exactly easy unless your in the outer regions. No one has ever said midsized is better than full sized regarding comfort, mileage, power load capacity. But when you can’t find parking for it, full sized doesn’t even matter. LOL

My 4x6 runs nose heavy but that also makes it rock solid at highway speeds. With my Subaru I do pack it with the tongue weight in mind given I can easily end up too heavy for the Subaru. But my Sequoia I don’t care given any added nose weight simply adds stability for my long highway trips. It...

My family ran open range cattle for three generations. My dad was the last generation to fully be part of that and left it after college. I was exposed to it as s kid given my dad was still pulled into it when bodies were needed. Cattle ranchers on a big scale run so much land they honestly...

I did a 2900 mile family of 4 trip recently with my 06 Sequoia 4.7 towing a low profile 4x6 900lb trailer. Another dad just did a 1800 mile summer trip family of 4 2018 Taco no trailer. He was shocked when I showed him our fuel vs mileage info for our trip. Plus we were in areas where we were...

If I could get the wife to move past 6-7 seating capacity my choice would be in this order. Canyon 4dr LB gasser 4x4. I would love diesel but my short around town kid hauling trips would destroy the diesel emissions gear in a yrs time. If the Ranger did a 4dr LB that would be my top choice due...

I finally got to sit in the new ranger and play with seating space. It’s surprisingly decent. The 10spd is a big deal. The payload is a big deal, the engine I’m not super thrilled about but of any Turbo DI auto maker I think Ford has the best chance of being the most durable and reliable of the...

Trueish except this 4 time Toyota owner has no interest in having another over priced gas pig. Grandpas Suburban had 280,000 miles on it when we sold it for far more than scrap value. It only ever got brakes, plugs and fluids. My dads pile of junk 1999 Explorer has 240,000 miles on it and is...

? The why is pretty much exactly why I’m thinking of building my own trailer. It’s pretty dang clear by all these builds that there is market need for the multi use solutions that support active outdoor activities.. Get er done.

The more I look at what we want / need for our next trailer family of 4. Looking to move up from the Original Lifetime tent trailer. I’m probably going to do a custom build with a trailer builder. Not a single builder builds the family of 4 compact multi use camp trailer. Not one! After over...

There is a 6.5 thread for a Old Rover conversion. Hes on his second one. Size doesn’t seem to be an issue but the diesel is like 300lbs heavier than the gas equivalent. Mechanical fuel system.

Adding tech content is the last effort to make dated platforms sellable. The GX and LC are so horribly bad regarding mileage and range they only sell the gas pigs here in the US. 99.9% of which are used as urban soccer mom rigs. I owned a J80 for 9 yrs trust me range and mileage matters if you...

I had an identical idea but never did it. Very cool seeing it works!!! Do you have a hand dolly to move the boat around?
