    The one screen they keep showing is borderline ridiculous.

    2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Electric Truck

    It is almost as funny as all the people that think 98% of the truck population is only used for urban commutes. Which is kinda worthless for truck things... If you could get buy just hauling stuff in the frunk you could get buy hauling your junk in a car.

    1984 Skamper

    Starting demo, anyone have any pointers on getting the aluminum channels off the roof side boards? I have since cut the wires and got the two pieces of plywood seperated more but it is too swelled to come easily and possibly too much sealer between the skin and the channel.

    2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Electric Truck

    I think it is going to have short legs for doing real truck stuff, something more hybrid-like could have made up for it. For roughly 80% of what I do the Lightning would be fine... but for that 20% I might as well have a golf cart.

    2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Electric Truck

    I am 6'-3" and have driven my Ranger farther from home than I have my F-150. :ROFLMAO: '150's farthest is an hour west of Chicago, Ranger' s an hour west of Pittsburg. I need to rebuild the seat but otherwise it is a nice cruiser. It's headed back to Attica again this year.

    2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Electric Truck

    I could get by with my little Ranger... except for those times I could almost use a 3/4 ton. Enter my F-150.

    Sounds like a totally effective plan to limit them to improve air quality then...

    Learning to weld questions

    A guy at the local machine shop had a bench grinder stone explode into his belly a few years ago, it put him in the hospital for awhile. I still have a scar on my thumb where my angle grinder ripped off a bunch of skin when I was wire wheeling a knuckle for my truck and everything shifted on...

    Learning to weld questions

    Flux core is messy but nothing really wrong with it. After years of getting my dad to do my welding I am starting to play with some of the easier stuff and it is a lot of fun. I just have a old 225 Lincoln stick welder at home, I need to change the end on the cord so I can actually use it...

    Garmin Overlander

    I recently mounted mine with the RAM mounts and I really like it. Runs off a keyed socket so it comes on and off with the ignition. My biggest gripe thus far is when I have it in the offroad mode, turn the truck off and turn it back on it comes on back in the offroad mode. If I do the same in...

    2 spare tires?

    I do my spare shoppin at the JY... If I could ever find another sawblade rim to match my main 4 I would go to a 5 tire rotation. It really helps the tire wear rate when you can cycle even one more tire into the mix.

    Ranger did have cooling issues in testing supposedly, getting airflow thru the tiny global grille was the deal. Note why it is about the the only thing that size with a mechanical fan...

    H6054 HID, LED, or High Wattage Halogen?

    The high beams though... While not ideal they beat the tar out of my sealed beams. They were like two half dead Maglites.

    New Bronco

    Yeah, a mustang has the same hp as a Bronco IIRC so it isn't a big deal. They detuned the Ranger which of similar use of a Bronco though.

    2 spare tires?

    A friend of mine had a flat on a gravel road. This was on his '89 F-150 so it probably had 235/75-15 tires or something similar to that. Nothing big, typical farm truck stuff. It was 10:30 at night so he just changes it to get home. Goes to the tire shop the next day to get it fixed and...

    New Bronco

    I have heard that but when you don't know what someone's skill level is it is hard to go by. I haven't gotten brave/serious enough to actually ask on a Land Rover page yet... I know most domestic EFI is fairly standalone, key power here, battery power there, ground it, hook up gauges, put fuel...
