    It’s got flares, but it probably needs wider ones

    Yeah, you want the trailer tires fully covered so you don't fling rocks into your rear window.

    Don’t sell it broken. Fix it and get your money’s worth.

    Honestly dude, I don’t have the space, time, energy, motivation, or money to deal with this truck anymore. It’s always gonna be something with it.

    Got a hot water heater, some rotopax, traction boards, and propane mounted in the trailer tonight. I still need to figure out the battery box situation. And all the wiring needs to be done nicely. Ordered a step down converter to power the propane water heater off of 12v instead of two d cell batteries. Also finally got a working 12v power supply for Starlink.

    Yeah pretty much. I have a water tank, 960AH batteries, switch pros, the rest is storage. I want to get a dometic fridge to put in there as well as make a little shelf for my black stone

    Just in case you want to get back into something sporty & stay in a truck.
    A new 2015 with a manual trans!

    For the same price they’re asking for that 2015, mind you

    Actual facts. I like the creature comforts and features of the third gen more but the second gen drove way better stock for stock.

    My apologies I thought you were more of a sports car kind of guy with those fancy Lexus cars.
    Yes the 2015 is over priced.
    I remembered you liked a stick over an auto. Didn’t know your new 4x4 was a stick. Oh, by the way good choice on the manual…

    No longer. I’m done with being a car guy.

    And I’m a firm believer in if a vehicle is available from the factory in stick, that’s the only way it should be bought.

    Alright I’m tired of people wasting my time expressing interest in this thing then ghosting me. I ordered the parts to get the truck fixed. New hood on the way, new trans output gaskets, when that’s fixed I’ll get the windshield changed out.

    Sooooo discovered something. My tcase adapter bolts backed out of the transmission, dumping all the fluid. May not have even pushed a seal out at all. 454 was kind enough to take a look at this thing for me again, he’s gonna squeeze me in sometime in November to see what happened up there. Good news is, this thing will be running, driving, new hood, and new windshield by the end of November hopefully. And also means the price of this truck goes up. Any suggestions on price? I’m thinking 45k???


    Also waiting to get my 3rd gen and my raptor on the 454 schedule, both of them need fender mods.
