    What's your favorite shovel?

    I always have a shovel and axe in my truck box, it's part of living on a hobby farm. I think I picked it up from Tractor Supply or Agri-Supply, nothing special, but it digs holes when holes need dug. A word of caution on your rubber straps. We have the same style straps for our tools on the...

    Mild Lift for F150?

    Sorry, I was just reading this again and doing some thinking. Don't trust those factory skid plates. If the 15's are anything like my 2014 FX4, then the plates aren't much of anything. The metal ones are pretty flimsy, I definitely wouldn't feel good about taking a rock strike to them (or...

    Mild Lift for F150?

    Really, you just need new tires from the sound of it. I have 35s on my 2014 F150 with a 2.5 inch level. To do it over I would just swap to a 33 and call it good. Maybe add the Bilstien 5100 at four corners and adjust the fronts to give me about an inch of level. From my personal experience I...

    Tire Recommendations for F150

    I'm sorry if this is covering a subject that's been beat to death. I'm just asking with my specifics. I'm driving a 2014 F150 SuperCrew with FX4 package. The only modification is a 2.5" fron spacer leveling kit to fit 35s. I currently have some second-hand 35x12.50R20 Toyo Open Country AT...

    What kind of mounts do you use for gps, phone, tab

    I got the Mod Armor MobNetic after reading Raul B's review last year. I've been running it ever since and love it. It doesn't work as well with the meyal disc through my Magpul case ad it did directly on my old Otter box. I am going to get some thin metal and fit it to my Magpul so it will be a...

    5x10 Utility Trailer Build

    We've been at a standstill on the build. My wife and I both started going back to school and still working full time jobs. Plus everyday we get off together we try to spend it enjoying our time. Summer is upon in the south and its over 90 everyday now with the humidity not slacking off. We will...

    Are we forgetting the basics?

    I keep an old Rand McNally road atlas in the map pocket behind my seat. (Are they called map pockets? That's what we always called then growing up) At least we can do rough navigation with that if the phones or GPS go down. When we would take family road trips out West all we had was an atlas...

    5x10 Utility Trailer Build

    It's starting to take shape. Just painted the body. Wiring was done today, outlets inside and out. Tomorrow I will make a rear door and paint that. I think we have some trim that we'll put on the edges to clean up the appearance. So here it is for now.

    If you had to start over, what different rig would you start with?

    Currently have a 2014 F150 FX4 with rear E-locker. If I were to do it again I probably would have shopped around for a used Ram 2500/3500 diesel 4x4. I would need at least a 6.5 foot bed but an 8 footer would be preferable. I would get an aluminum shell for it and use that as my sleeping...

    Stihl mini trail boss

    If I know I will be going to our land or bad weather is coming I'll throw my chainsaw in my truck box. Mine is a Stihl MS291 with a cheap "County Line" 16" bar and chain. I also carry the stock 20" bar and two extra chains. The 16" bar was on clearance at TSC for $15 and it really changes the...

    5x10 Utility Trailer Build

    Worked a little today, but didn't get too strung out. It is Sunday after all. The doors we ordered came shipped with some 1" foam (think pool noodle) that we decided to use as insulation. As far as I can tell the only difference between this and $20/sheet store bought is the radiant barrier...

    5x10 Utility Trailer Build

    We've been able to make some pretty big leeps the last couple days. This is it now with the front, sides and part of the roof installed. The window was a $40 house window we found at Lowe's and the doors were an Ebay find. They both hinge on the right side, but that's OK. A 43"x43" door...

    What trail condition do you LOVE the most?

    I like the mountain trails/roads that give us a good view. I'm mostly stock so don't aim for the deep stuff but I enjoy throwing it in 4low to get over an obstacle. But, at heart, I'm a dirt road junkie. Cruise about 35 and just enjoy the weather, scenery and maybe a little Waylon (or Whiskey...

    5x10 Utility Trailer Build

    My wife has been chugging away on the project while I've been at the fire station and my second job. This is what it looks like now. Back walls are stood up and roof installed. Right now it's all temporary until we get our doors in. The divider wall for the galley will be right about where...

    5x10 Utility Trailer Build

    Our plan is to make this a pretty heavy duty build. We aren't using any 1/2 inch plywood here, everything is 3/4 or 23/32. I'll be pulling it with an F150 so I'm not terribly concerned about weight. So far we put 3/4 pressure treated plywood on the base deck and cut out a portion of the side...

    5x10 Utility Trailer Build

    My wife and I have just purchased this brand new 5x10 Down 2 Earth utility trailer. It has a 3500 lbs under sprung axle and weighs 700 lbs dry :fearscream:. Our plans are to build a basic teardrop style trailer while still incorporating some of the side rails. I know this isn't the best look but...

    Anybody Snag Some Good Black Friday Deals?

    I spent all my money on guns and gun parts! Anybody else get some good deals on Black Friday or the subsequent Internet sales? I'm sure there are some here who made some upgrades to there rigs this weekend.
