    Is my truck ruined? (road salt)

    I live in Ohio, salt, salt salt all winter long, I had a gen 1, 2012 for 7 years. Through the winter I would go to the local do it your self car wash and basically climb under it washing the underneath, the rockers were rusting anyway ( the tape was falling off, why did Ford use tape?). I got a...

    Best gear to pull cars out of snow banks?

    Yes, use a stretch strap! When I had my old ranger I pulled out full size trucks that laughed at the thought of my little truck pulling them out of a snow filled ditch, they quit laughing real quick. And I agree, have the stuck vehicle owner attach the strap. Give it hell with a little slack...

    GEN 2 KO2 wet roads?

    I had KO,s originally on my gen 1, then replaced with KO2s twice, 1st set was C rated and 2nd set was D rated. C rated tires were ok to the end of life, D rated set had around 35k on them and it was scary on wet roads. I really like KO2s but once their worn replace ASAP.

    Anyone tried hauling 12' lumber?

    I have hauled 16 foot 2x6s, I secured half of an extension ladder at the front of the bed, tailgate down and strapped it down at the back then secured the boards to the ladder, worked well for me.

    Scab owners: Do your doors rattle?

    My 12 rattled to the point I used surgical tubing in the seals, which helped but did not completely eliminate it. My 19, not enough “having fun time” yet to determine if they will rattle or not.

    QuestionS for those running stock tires

    My first set of KO2s were on my gen 1 and I did not rotate every 5k and they scalped bad, they still had 8/32 on 2 of them when I replaced them with 40k on them and replaced with the same tire. This set lasted 50k with scheduled rotation but at around 35k wet roads were very slick and I replaced...

    AMAZON online orders

    I have had quite a few orders in the last 3 months that said they shipped, then I get the email “order will be late, ask for a refund if it does not show up by xx date”. I have had to call them in order to receive my refund also.

    GEN 2 Rear Clunk Noise

    My 19 has a mysterious thump, I thought it was a rock coming loose from the tire when my speed increased? Now I have to grease the driveshaft spline and see if it goes away?
