You do… road noise, leaks, creaks from the poorly fitting top and the high likelihood of a severe debilitating drivetrain failure at the most inconvenient time.

After seeing MADE IN RUSSIA on the side of these tires, I have now ruled them off my list for my next tires.

Why not look for an f250-f350 SRW with the 6.2 or 7.3? Easy to work on, reliable, cheap to maintain, parts are everywhere and the high pinion dana 60 axle is about as bulletproof as you can get. Get one with a locker and 4:30 gears and your set.

I got one of those cargo baskets that mount in my hitch… I get a few odd looks with a couple deer piled on top of each other with a ratchet strap across them. Hers an old pic, minus deer.

No, she doesn’t really see anything she likes. I told her that her Tahoe has never had a single problem and we should just keep it. It’s starting to have some rust appear on the tailgate and it’s at 80k, and will be at 90 by the end of the summer and 100k by the end of winter. She’s afraid if...

Yeah these trucks are tall. 9-10 in town.

I took a trip to northern Wisconsin a few months back. I left with the intention of getting the best fuel economy possible. I drove like there was an egg under my foot and never exceeded 69mph. I had 3 people in the truck and some basic luggage. I really tried very hard to drive super easy, I...

The best vehicle we have ever owned, and I regret selling every time I think about it is our 04 tj rubicon. My wife and I were dating back in 2003, she ordered a brand new yellow rubicon exactly how she wanted it. It was very expensive for the time, 27k. She put an OME lift and some 33 inch...

It was a soft top initially and then we drove one with a hard top. The hard top had a tad less road noise but not by much. The hard top didn’t appear to fit well, it rattled and had allot of wind noise, as in air leaks. Besides that, the fit and finish left allot to be desired, the doors felt...

I give you credit for coming up with this idea and the install. You did a great job! Please report back on how well it works.

My friend at the ford dealer told me they can’t get bronco’s and it’s along time before you can get one and it will be a super long time before it’s delivered if you can order one. I asked him why they have 10 full size broncos, 3 of which are Sasquatch and they also have 2 Everglades in stock...

According to a friend of mine that works at a large high volume ford dealer. Ford is not sending them as many trucks now but not other certain ford vehicles such as explorer etc. He said, for example, they used to keep 250 plus f150 trucks in stock, now they are lucky to have 100. He said these...

Sorry but this was the one I was thinking of in my earlier post, only for ram. Do earlier gen ford trucks not have that area to cut out?

I’m not sure what your budget it like, but you may want to seriously consider a caravan camper shell with doors. It will outlast the truck it’s on.

Very valid point, I remember we had some smoke from western fires blow into our area, granted it was no where near as bad as what you live in. But it was nasty, definitely takes your breath away and not in a good sense.
