    Build quality satisfaction?

    I've got a 2014 JKU Sport S with roughly 17k on it at the moment. I've previously had a Tacoma, 4Runner, and Excursion and currently still have an F350. I've also previously had a few different sports cars as well as a sedan (first car was a Toyota Camry). But the one vehicle I've always...

    Ultimate 2 car garage

    The thread title does say "ultimate". On a forum like this, you'll have people that come from a variety of backgrounds, so everyone has different versions of "ultimate". I'd love to have a Tesla Model S in my garage. Unfortunately, I can't get the one I want for less than $75k. :-/

    Ultimate 2 car garage

    You'll notice I said the horse trailer brings in income. It and the F350 combined should net a roughly $1600 profit after expenses this month (fuel plus prorated oil change, tires, truck and trailer maintenance, etc.). We charge $1 per mile per horse for hauling, and it holds 4 large horses...

    Manual vs. Auto / Rubicon vs Sport

    I've got a 2014 Sport with the 6 speed manual. There are times where I absolutely love having the 6 speed, and there are times where I would much rather have the auto (Atlanta traffic). So far, I haven't had much time to take the Jeep off pavement anywhere fun. I did go check out one trail...

    Ultimate 2 car garage

    2 car ultimate garage for $75k? Can't do it. Too many interests and needs. We own a horse farm, so I have to at least have a large truck. (We've got an F350 dually - bought used for $12k-ish and immediately had the tranny rebuilt for $3500.) My fun vehicle is the 2014 Wrangler Unlimited...

    FS or FT: 2001 Ford Excursion Limited 4x4 Diesel in Atlanta, GA

    Sadly, I must sell my toy for something a bit more practical. I bought this Excursion the day it arrived at a local truck dealer in July of 2009. I've added Goodyear Wrangler MTRs and Rancho shocks to it, but it's otherwise stock. I looked for quite some time before purchasing it. However...

    E10 → E15? Not so good?

    First, I'd back ethanol if they weren't trying so dang hard to get it from corn. There are plenty of other ways to manufacture it that don't require so many input resources. Secondly, auto manufacturers know that many gas stations in the US sell an E10 blended fuel. Now, wouldn't it be smart...

    Intro - Ford Excursion ExPo Style

    Very nice looking truck! I just got my Excursion 2 weeks ago, though it was unmodded. I couldn't talk the wife into anything too radical... yet. Looks like I'm going to have to work her up to the idea of lifting it. Just threw some stock size MT/Rs on it yesterday and looking at options for...

    Dual Battery in a Trailer Question

    Fry's here has a 15 watt for $129 and a 22.5 watt for $199. I've been considering picking up one of those. It seems like I remember seeing the 60 watts for $399 to $499 up there, but don't remember for sure. David

    Question on expo and full size

    I'm kind of partial to the Excursion, though we just purchased ours yesterday. I was looking for another vehicle to run B100 biodiesel in, and didn't see too many other diesel SUVs out there, if any. We have a 500 gallon tank at the house and the local biodiesel distributor delivers it 300 to...

    Volvo Quality

    I'd say it depends on the quality of the Volvo dealers around you. Our '06 S40 T5 AWD was in the shop around 15 times in the 2 years we had it before we finally traded it for the MINI Cooper. I really got tired of having to take it back time and again for having the same problems, and even...

    After Amicalola: Reflections & Photos

    Haha, I've thought that before as well, but apparently I'm not awake enough to contemplate those types of things yet. Bill - would love to do a 3 day thing at some point, but looks like I'm triple booked that Saturday. There's a horse auction in Buckhead (the actual city, not North Atlanta) we...
