    The 2016 SnoBall- 1 of 3 final spots

    It's all what you're comfortable with. For the first snoball I drove to MI from Southwest FL by myself in a truck I had owned for a week.

    GLRE: The Offical 2016 SnoBall thread

    Two years ago after being hammered at the Best Western bar with basically all the rest of Alpha group: "Never doing that again." Last year, it happened again anyway where I was up until 4:30. We just need a medic with a bunch of bags to hook us up to. Best hangover cure ever.

    GLRE: The Offical 2016 SnoBall thread

    Well ****. I had the time wrong by an hour and missed it. So much for making it to all of them after the first 3. What ever happened to the random drawing for people that had gone before, anyway? Neither me or my Dad got any message after the first one saying it was happening.

    random military member giveaway

    Best I can do of in Afghanistan is screwing off. 2 of those shelters were staying behind for the next unit, so we tagged them with our unit's logo on the top. 2010: I went back as a contractor a year later. 2012: I had a HDD failure and lost most of the very few pictures taken with me in...

    Heads/cam

    The real issue is that the 6.2L was never in a performance platform. It was exclusively a truck engine. Maybe if Ford had done something like the lightning and used the 6.2L, instead of the Tremor with the ecoboost. Which is too bad, considering the "777" development/Roush motor that was...

    On the fence about the Go Pro 4, check this out

    It's really easy to lose the sense of speed. I have a sticky mount behind the rear view mirror, which captures a good shot-just everything looks slow. I've also done suction cup to the rear bumper, tail light and headlight with decent results, but, it was at times where there wasnt the same...

    40" light bar behind the Grill x2

    You have to do something or the horns won't clear. He mounted one to the opposite side of the bracket. And added a bend so the one mounted on the back side clears the radiator. This isn't 2 40" bars, but, it's mounted in the same place to shoot around the FORD letters. ---------- Post...

    40" light bar behind the Grill x2

    Kind of. There's a way to be clever about it. We did on Dad's truck. I'll get you a pic some time tonight.

    SnoBall Preparations?

    I've not even heard of that. I've used Hickory, Alder, Mesquite, Apple, Peach, Cherry, Maple, Pecan and Oak. Despite conventional opinions, I use apple or cherry for almost everything. I like the flavor the best compared to the others.

    SnoBall Preparations?

    Trail side lunch for Saturday prep. Salmon, cheese, crackers and probably some pickled herring. Salt/Smoked Salt/Pepper/Brown Sugar rub as a dry cure. Though it only got to go for 16 hours since the fish only got bought last night. It was supposed to be a couple days ago, but, we forgot...

    On the fence about the Go Pro 4, check this out

    I'm down to just the Hero2 I've had since like 2009. I had a Hero3 Black, but, it flew off my car at ~160 never to be seen again. I rarely use it with the truck as the video looses the sense of speed from being so high up and it's always kinda boring looking, imo. I used it a lot when I owned...

    The Detroit Auto Show - New Raptor Unveiling Thread

    The one ford release mentioned it as an available bold tailgate. So, there's some hope it's an option like all the graphics on the current one.

    Will 37s fit on the 2017 Raptor?

    Which BOV is best. I need it to be LOUD.

    SnoBall Preparations?

    I bought a roll of this stuff, after stripping the "transparent" paint I tried, which was too opaque. 3M 3442 - Lens Repair Tape | O'Reilly Auto Parts The verdict is still out on how it will last, it does make things yellow without cutting light too much. However, it slightly blistered in...

    No Ecoboost Badges, Sound, or Under Hood Pics?

    I still stand by my opinion that the only thing that really matters is that whatever engine goes in the Raptor needs to also go in the Mustang or GT, otherwise aftermarket support will again be seriously lacking like it is with the current 6.2.

    Are you going to upgrade to a Gen 2?

    It's not quite the details I meant. I want to know if: When AWD is selected does it just engage/disengage the clutches to send power to the front -or- is there an active center diff to split power. Hopefully it is the latter. The R&T article makes it just sound like a hybrid of GM's...

    SnoBall Preparations?

    Ribs are the worst. You can do without using your hands for things. Trying to go without breathing doesn't go well.

    Rogue Racing stage 4

    I have a old Hero2 GoPro you can borrow for a day at SnoBall. I'll even edit the video and post it here once back home. But, I don't have the rollbar mount which is what it looks like Rogue used for their video to stick the gopro on the cross member.

    Are you going to upgrade to a Gen 2?

    I'm really interested in the details of the new transfercase. Selectable AWD -or- 4WD sounds super awesome.

    JLT oil separator

    2 tanks of gas, it has been cold and there has been a lot of idling time via remote start. This is still just a cheapo open can that I had laying around when I decided to install it. I've just not got around to making a baffle/diffuser inside of the thing. It's mostly moisture, I'll let...
