Spring bolt looks like it has had a socket going both ways on it. Lighting is less than ideal though. A truck with maybe 10 miles on it won't sling much grease if it has a problem with a cv boot. I checked my Ranger and it looks fine. ?

I added a factory one to my ranger which is totally different I know. Handles a lot better empty and night and day better with my Skamper pop up camper in the truck.

2500 Ram has air suspension available too. Not sure the difference would be that huge. F-150 has had gvw packages over half of that 3500 for over 20 years. I would assume even as coil spring 2500 would have more than a half ton.

Like by the big giftshop/office thing? We camped there, I didn't really pay attention up by that office. We used the restrooms in the campground, supposedly they have built a second one of those in the campground but I was never hard up enough for entertainment to go look for it. Kind of...

Most midsized have fairly similar payload ratings to most half tons. Here in the corn belt it is mainly the bigger trucks doing sketchy crap. How high can we stack big round bales, gotta ferry the grain cart, how many anhydrous tanks can we pull etc.

Went out again almost a month ago. Our little convoy is getting bigger, in addition to my '85 and my FIL's '91 my wife drove her Bronco out too. I rode with her and tried to kinda help her gain confidence offroading. Then after lunch I took out my '85 for a bit. After the tubes I thought the...

For a infrequently used spare... I don't worry about the age so much. I got my spare tire from the junkyard lol.

Submarines inherently need to be more watertight than a vehicle... They are not electric so the motors will run if the thing is full of water. Water leaks killed lots of submariners until they improved battery tech. Salt water + battery acid = chlorine gas which is rather hard on crews...

See also 90% of any other 4wd on the road. Ours is a family hauler that will go offroad. I tailered the build to do what we need to do offroad (Mainly my 85 for a benchmark) and dialed it back enough to handle nice (Mainly in winter) and get decent mpg.

Knocking on wood I haven't had a flat/destroyed tire while offroading as in actually looking for trouble. I have pulled three destroyed ones off from regular daily driving. In december 2014 (I remember it well) we took a wrong turn in my wife's Edge. Night as black as tar, rain trying to...

Agreed, if it was designed as a hybrid from the start they wouldn't have to have the battery intruding on fuel bunkerage.

Eh, kinda part of it. One downside of having two powertrains... is having two powertrains. Jeep didn't compromise on the gas side like most do though, it is still basically a 4cyl Wrangler but with more Rubicon parts than normal to deal with the extra torque.

The Wrangler 4XE only goes a couple miles offroad on battery only. Not much to really dream about. And the battery srorage reduces the fuel tank size (and cargo area) which results in a net loss in range vs a normal Wrangler offroad.

No, they are neater and cost more.

Our Bronco flirts with 25mph on the highway, I don't see it doing enough better on premium to justify the expense. With my F-150 and $2.99 E85 regular has to be about $3.50/gal to be a wash.

87/E10 We really like it so far.

Just filled the Bronco @ $3.99/gal Sunday in Omaha. Filled the Ranger @4.25/gal yesterday locally.

It might get bumped back a bit but that is a very good sign!

Our 2.3 Black Diamond scoots pretty good. Absolutely no regrets on the engine. I pulled a much heavier trailer for years (bordering on decades) with less power and got along fine. Not that long ago 300hp was a lot, a 3500lb trailer hasn't been much of anything for a very long time. IMO...

I saw $4.60 when I went by this morning.
