What radio. I have installed about a dozen vhf uhf radios.

Of course paddle tires are the best out there.. Mt or At tires depends on the driver. The Mt dig in and throw more sand but digging in is not so good typically. Again it's the driver that's more important to the situation. Air down significantly creates more floatation which is the key to...

I am still here buddy never left just been quite read the blog almost every day. For you over 100 pounds I would not even think about it. Go like hell and enjoy. Over by a couple thousand pounds you may need to rethink it... that's just me...

Let's muddy it up good. First how is weight capacity calculated. Motor vehicles are calculated as follows. Dry weight no fluids then add exactly the fluid capacity and driver. So they give you fluids are included and 150 pounds for driver. GVWR IS JUST THAT. Maximum the towed trailer anybody...

Carry really good insurance on the car and have it insured for more than it's worth then if you do have a fire it's a happy day you get a big pay day

Unfortunately I'm old so I remember the first diesel by Ford and what a boat anchor it was. My point is when you design a motor from scratch or otherwise and you start squeezing every bit of horsepower and work that motor 110% all the time your going to have issues. Ford v6 turbo charged engines...

Price gouging is not just billionaires. I took my 68 Plymouth GTX over to a mechanic and said how much to just remove and reinstall the motor I'm going to rebuild it. With a straight face he told me 5000 dollars. For 16 hours labor at the most.. are you out of your ever loving mind. I have done...

I guess I'm to old, I know adding turbos to an engine is a bad thing but manufacturers keep doing it. We used to call it artificial horsepower. Super charging was great for horsepower for short distance. But there is no replacement for displacement. But being old I remember when going four...

It always amazes me that people get butt hurt over an opinion they disagree with. Congrats to anyone if they have a truck they like. I waited for the v8 Raptor like a ****. I bought the TRX had a v8 Raptor I would buy the Raptor again in a v8. But I don't ask anyone to agree with my opinion but...

See spot rollover

One of the things you will be asked have you had the vehicle more than 90 days if you say yes you don't pay sales tax. So think about that....

I'd say as follows... You order a new tail light or pull one of a new truck while I watch.. they will say no of course so order a new one. 2 your going to take care of all maintenance as long as I own the truck.. and settle for nothing less. Otherwise I want a new truck with no damage.

The only thing I can say is instant Karma, the guy got what he deserved.

Well I shopped and searched and have waited patiently on Ford but so far it has just left me truckless I finally broke down and went to test drive the TRX. I was given permission to purchase if I so felt like it. After waiting 7 years for a Raptor V8 I now have a TRX. Since selling my Raptor so...

My Jeep Wrangler is mostly stock. It's the 4xe so its electric and turbo 4cyl. Single tank range is about 350 miles. I have the quad band 50 watt vhf radio installed. I programmed several people with Raptors radios for them. Not sure what channel you may want to use weatherman is common. I can...
