    Welcome! Glad to see another F150 in the region.

    What side of your vehicle did you set your RTT, and why?

    I ended up putting it unfolding to the driver side. The reason for this was the annex being near the tailpipe on the driver side. I doubted I'd be running the truck with the tent setup/annex but figured a hot tail pipe up against the annex fabric would do some damage. Had no other real reasons...

    Pre NWOR - Thursday Morning Trail Run?

    Here's my plan, if you are interested in joining. (Please let me know if you are interested so I know to look out for you) Figure I'll be able to make it to the 49er Diner by about 11am on Thursday (should be there before, but being conservative). Thinking of rallying there and heading out for...

    US Northwest NWOR 2019 Overland Bound Campsite

    I think we'll end up being in the quiet area again this year to make sure the kiddo gets some rest (still rely on that nap and don't think he'll be getting one during the rally). So won't be joining the group camp wise. But, if anyone is interested in a trail run out to Sugarloaf before the...

    Pre NWOR - Thursday Morning Trail Run?

    Posted this to the Facebook group but thought I'd add here as well. Anyone interested in doing a pre-checkin trail run? Thinking Chumstick or Sugarloaf maybe. Open to another idea though. Haven't done either before but with the official trail runs overlapping with a few of the sessions I'd like...

    Why?

    I'm very much in the minority (driving a Ford F-150) so I understand a bit of what you are saying. I think the points made are valid though. In some cases, it's more just the fact that those with similar vehicles learn from each other (e.g. what after market products work well, custom DIY...

    2015 Ford F-150 FX4 Questions

    Are you running any skid plates? RCI seems to be the only option and debating if the weight is warranted.

    2015 Ford F-150 FX4 Questions

    Glad to see so many F150 owners in this thread! Your '15 is more than capable. I've got a 2017 3.5 eco Supercrew. It's an XLT non/FX4 model so does lack a few things I wish it had (lockers for one) but you'll do just fine without. Just drive smart. I've swapped out the crappy stock shocks /...

    HRO Yaesu Sale

    Working on getting my technician class license. Got a baofeng handheld but debating a mobile for the truck. Figure this is one of those buy once, cry once types of things. But $450+ is a tough swallow. Worth doubling down?

    RTIC 65 - Basket Alternative?

    A fridge/freezer isn't in the budget right now and can use a cooler in the drift boat as well so snagged a RTIC 65 during the 20% off they were just running. Of course, the baskets & dividers have been out of stock and they have no ETA on when they will be back in stock. I know the Yeti baskets...
