    Adventure Vehicle advice for a growing family?

    Congrats on the twins! Keep what you have and add a trailer! Mind explaining how you know a one year old really LOVES camping and exploring? :rolleyes: :LOL: After hitting most possibilities over the years, the best way is to include a trailer that fits the need the vehicle doesn't, IMO. You...

    Ultimate camp shoe?

    Open them up a bit more than this and loosely tie the strings off at the side, you can just slip them on! My jump boots are 50+ years old, got them in '71, still serviceable but stiff now, I still wear my 1982 standard issue primarily for the motorcycle. You asked for the best, not the most...

    2021 F250 Godzilla Build

    Nice 250! Guys, as to Ford sticking to ya, would you be better off taking a base model, XL and the engine you wanted then do all your mods with after market stuff? Is that base 101 group of options the better way and then do the rest after market?

    F150 - 2.7L vs 3.5L vs 5.0L

    Oil consumption, the fix seems to be a longer dip stick and a PVC valve, might add a overflow can thingy. Had that basic in my '99 LTD 4x4, never a problem and I assumed the new one would be that same bullet proof engine. Thanks for posting that, just came from a local dealer and bought a 2020...

    2017 F-150 build...Everyone meet Walter White

    Thanks guys! Don't want to butt in here, but I drove it and it is a rocket for a truck! Turning radius is at least a 1/3 less than my '99 XLT. A garage will check it out Tuesday, if all is good It's SOLD!

    2017 F-150 build...Everyone meet Walter White

    Well, you've done a really nice job on Walter. Thanks for the step by step how to's and what for's. So, this thread gave me the bug for a newer F 150, (Thank you)..... Found some white XL and XLT's seems the difference around here is the XL's don't have carpet or power seats, other than that...

    Snow chains for offroad use.

    BTW, running chains without snow/ice can do a job on your tires, they aren't for mud. Never used them in sand so no idea, seems sand could be much like snow.

    Baja XL 2023?

    Can someone give some more history of this bash? I see it's a chunk of change but the schedule was paying in 2021. Where is current info.? Ah man, bail money isn't included with your fee!

    Prices on EP Classified seem to be HIGH!

    Intrinsic values fall under "collectable" it's, I want that one because I do. Collectable doesn't mean antique or exotic but is usually sold to the eccentric. I agree about suckers, one is born every minute. In fact, with the population boom, I'd say it's more often than that.

    Prices on EP Classified seem to be HIGH!

    That might explain why the owner of that '97 is so proud of his van. I just got my personal property tax notice-WOW, You'd think I had a Rolls parked in the garage next to my Lambo, my boat must be a yacht, even my homemade trailer increased by over 300%! It's nothing but extorsion. I'm giving...

    Prices on EP Classified seem to be HIGH!

    Come to think of it, I've never found a used car dealer who offered maintenance records. IMO, buying from an owner is where the best deal is likely to come from. Dealers are, most likely, out to make a greater profit than an owner. While this generally comes "buying right" by a dealer, a...

    Real estate is a different world, "real" property, unless it has some degree of obsolescence, will appreciate in value, where "personal property depreciates. Raising RE prices to stagnant listings is a new tactic as housing prices soared in the past few years. Home buyers also shop listings...

    Prices on EP Classified seem to be HIGH!

    $27,900.00 a 2007, 73,450 miles, bidding ended, and this was a used car dealer! This shows that 1997 at $25,000 really being over priced. I've never seen a vehicle listed on Portal that I thought was a good deal, all have been overpriced, IMO. Seems one reason might be because of the...

    The bigger the truck, the greater the (misplaced?) concern about payload?

    I keep picturing myself walking along and meeting someone who throws change at me, using my left hand to block the change, looking straight ahead and using my right to smash his nose. I can't get that out of my head now, thank you.

    "E-bike" mopeds more dangerous than motorcycles?

    I'm usually holding a beer in one hand and my phone in the other, when I need to turn I just move my butt.

    Do we really need a spare?

    The original spare tire on my 99 F-150 is still under the bed, it has never seen direct sun light, now on my 3rd set of tires at 115,xxx miles.
