I could have got 1,000,000 miles out of my Ford had I kept fixing it. Same with any Ford. They run great as long as you keep fixing them. Toyotas simply never need repaired. That is the difference. I prefer to use my weekends exploring, not fixing oil leaks or replacing parts that shouldn't...

You're right, it is not hard to call and ask, but that is assuming you get someone on the phone who actually knows what they are talking about. Good luck. It also would not have been hard for their engineers to specify the correct fluid from the get go. The real story is that Mercon-V was...

Surprised this took so long to sell. I'd have bought it day 1 if it were an 8' model.

Neither was the ZF-5, ZF-6 that cracked in half... or any of the Borg warner Transfer cases that explode if you use the wrong fluid. Ford doesn’t make a lot of things. They do, however, have terrible engineers who decide to spec all these ************ components from half ass American shops. The...

Toyota has this game covered simply due to consistent reliability, and much better mechanical design and build quality in my opinion. I've owned 20+ high mileage trucks in my life and Toyota is the way to go. I would buy a used 300k mile Toyota over a used 100k mile Ford any day of the week...

$5k-$6k tops with the damage and wheel nonsense you have going on. Spray painted OEM wheels always look janky/juvenile to me, also the tires are too big, are you running wheel spacers? Stock wheels/no spacers/more reasonably sized tires would increase the value. Put back the wheel liners...

Looking for a full size topper camper Ideally an AT Atlas, open to other AT tops, an old flippac or even an 8’ wildernest. AT’s build times are too long!

What kind of shape is the spring mechanism in? It has been a while but I believe there is a metal torsion rod at the hinge, these were know to fail on the Flippacs.

Unfortunately the best option for true winter camping is a hard-side. I have not seen a good option yet for a true 4-season pop-up. Freeze protection is another issue altogether with water systems. Even in my hard-side I have to limit my water usage to spring summer fall typically.

I have an F250 - 2000 7.3. Supposedly the more reliable model Least reliable, most broken vehicle I have ever owned. Don’t mess with deep mud, if you do pack a lunch. Unsure about your GVWR needs but check into that. You’ll probably be fine regardless, but I am about 10% over GVWR with a...

From what I gather the Base Project M; -Does not even come with a mattress -Does not come wired for lights power -No info provided on how they keep dust out/seal to different tailgates -Costs $9-9.5k plus tax depending which model All things considered, this is pretty damn steep for what it...

Having owned both... The Ford is a better truck. The Dodge has a slightly better motor, and that is about it. Either one can be a powerhouse if you modify it. The 7.3 innjection system can be finicky on high mileage models. They both have transmission issues (autos) but the Dodges trannies...

The fact that you purchased an entire pallet of bagged mulch instead of getting a truckload from a supplier only reinforces my point, but that was a solid attempt at a comeback! At least you put something in that tiny little bed other than groceries!

If resale isn't a primary concern, I'd be looking at a gasser ZR2. It won't handle a grenade blast but they do seem very capable. The new F150s are nice but they aren't exactly small. The "new" Rangers are boring and not very capable. New Toyotas are just overpriced and too common. The...

I just ordered this spring kit. My main goal here is ride quality - I don't care about the lift, the truck has PLENTY of clearance from the factory. I'm at a loss for how little information there is online about this kit... there are so many of these trucks on the road. Is anyone else...

Sounds like a cool setup, I looked long and hard at the FWC Grandby but I couldn't justify the cost over a nice used Lance. Maybe one day... or one day Go Fast Campers will start making a model for a longbed. I have heard that add-a-leafs on stock springs are a ROUGH ride. I have stock rear...

Looks like a solid kit, but that price tag... yeesh! 4.5" of lift is too much for me anyway. These trucks have more than ample clearance from the factory, for what I get into anyway...

The front springs were shot, and I actually replaced them like-for-like. It made the ride even worse off road! It's so damn stiff man! I'm not familiar with Carli but I am with the newer Fords. Very nice trucks, very unreliable and difficult to work on engines! The creature comforts of the...

Good to know, I'm getting quotes from several local ARB dealers for the full kit front and rear! Planning to put it on with a set of OUO traction bars and one of the ARB add-a-leafs in the rear for hauling the camper. Are you on stock wheels?
