    Street traction problem with open rear??

    gggrrrrrr...... yeah. Thanks for pointing out, YET AGAIN, that my truck doesn't have that nifty 4A setting like my old plain jane f-150, so now I live way up a windy mountain road with lots of ice for 3-4 months out of the year and rainy wet moss for 6 of the other months and I have NO 4A...

    Greetings, y’all!

    oh Waaaa..... ;-) In my highly prized and always absolute opinion, I say: So, 1. Sometimes the front shocks are clunky on these things. One of mine was totally blown, and it still drove sort of okay... 2. If you buy your own tires, you get the tires you want, not the tires they pick...

    Got smoked by a Prius today....

    Y'all jealous much? BTW, I have a dude up the road from me a ways with a camo paint job, big light bar and pillar lights on his prius.... and His front tires are always scalded off by late spring... he just loves trying to kill it.

    A-Hole with nose ring wrecked my rear bumper

    I'm definitely NOT saying you should lie about any of the incident or your condition, but you also shouldn't leave the services that you've already paid for laying on the table. It truly is how the system is set up, and by using it you also get to contribute to the overall economics by...

    A-Hole with nose ring wrecked my rear bumper

    A. It's called subrogation. That's where you have a loss, but the cost of that loss is paid by someone else's insurance. (assholio's in this case) B. Go to your favorite body shop, and ask if they report damage to carfax. If yes: then leave, go to next shop. (Most shops don't use or...

    2nd Gen Raptor Resale Value after TRX Release

    N O !!!! Say it ain't so! There is still at least one other human on the planet besides me and the wife that aren't "triggered" when somebody has a different opinion! I think I might just make it through the day. Thank you!

    What!? "Trolling is a waste....!" How could you think that. Here i was thinking my whole life through that trolls were the spice of the internet, providing us with a counterpoint to our own little echo chambers.... Well! There goes another of my life long beliefs...

    Hitch mounted carrier

    I bougbt the cheap ass harbor freight deal on a road trip as a temp fix about 15-20 years ago. I figured for that price I'd just replace it before i needed to use it again.... Long story short, I can't seem to break it.... I also use it as a work platform/workbench/tool carrier on the...

    tri folding hard tonneau cover

    I went with this on a previous truck. https://rollnlock.com/e-series I can't say enough good things about how dry, convenient and secure it was. Didn't have to open the gate to get in to it. Super durable. I stacked cargo on it and the kids were able to walk around on it, and it locked in...

    Best gear to pull cars out of snow banks?

    I NEVER use hard or steel rigging. NEVER. Lost a good friend when a cable snapped and it cut him most in half as it snapped back... The steel and cable and chain can build energy and hurt things and injure people. I only use fiber or fabric ropes.. Snatch straps and long tree straps and lift...

    Tire rubbing fix

    Send me the spacers! I'll repurpose them as pulleys for use with soft-shackles! They're a whole bunch better than steel cable with blocks and D rings!

    Tire expert needed ridge grapplers

    When I priced my Falken's the 35's were a couple hundred bucks more than the 315's. Same size but the 35"s weighed more, and cost more. On the side wall they are marked 315/70-17 with the sizes printed closer to the rim as OAD 35 and OAW 12.5. . I decided it was probably some hocus...

    Let's talk about the current market conditions for Gen 1 Raptors

    As an untimely reference point, I gave $27k for mine (13 scab)with 120k on it about 6 months ago. Dealer contacted me 3 weeks ago to ask if I would sell it back to them for $30k...

    Hot off the presses

    Because our Raptors are so wimpy that they can't tow much anyway, so why put a tougher tire on it? ;-D
