    3.5 Ecoboost

    I had a 2013 F150 with the same set up. Power was impressive, but mileage was very bad unless you're doing 60 mph without a headwind in Kansas. I was talked into it by a dealer after owning two 3/4 ton diesels. Averaged 13 mpg over 29000 miles which was worse than the lifted 6.7 Powerstroke...

    Roll cage tie in...bushings or not?

    Thanks for the help. Going to go without. Definitely sandwiching all locations.

    Roll cage tie in...bushings or not?

    How much difference in "ride quality" is there using bushings vs just welding tube to frame? Am I making a mistake by not using bushings? 1992 one ton YJ that sees a lot of local driving on the street. Thanks.

    Best tower speakers

    Finishing up a new roll cage and don't think the sound bar will fit anymore. What is everyone using for tower speakers? Don't really want to use a separate amplifier if I don't need to.

    Just outside of St. Louis.

    Vortex vs Leupold and why

    I priced both of them out today at around $750 my cost so I just have to decide which route to go with. Kind of leaning towards the Leupold, after looking through both of them and it being noticeably lighter. Just reading a bunch of forums to find out more. Hard to believe that the best...

    Vortex vs Leupold and why

    Stand is just into the woods at pinch point looking across the dam of a 20 acre lake that is 200 yds across. Last rifle kills have been 120 and 100 yds. Just want an optic that I can use on whitetail and be able to reach out and touch something a little further away w/o having to have two...

    Taking a trip to Moab UT in July

    Don't stop at 21 road in Grand Junction unless your on your way home. Spots in there can put BFE in Moab to shame. In July, I would skip wheeling in Moab and head straight to Lake Powell. Save the Moab trips for Spring/Fall. I currently live in Missouri, but used to be 3-4 hours from Moab in...

    6.7 Cummins vs 6.7 Powerstroke

    Got a great deal on my 2013 F250 King Ranch 3 years ago and the KBB value is the same as I paid for it with 40000 more miles. If it wasn't for the light at the end of the tunnel for no payments, I'd definitely go get a 2017 due to the improvements and increased room.

    Vortex vs Leupold and why

    In the market for a new optic for my 7mm rem mag. Will be used mostly for whitetail at 200 yds or less, but will also go out west for elk and antelope. Trying to decide between Vortex Viper PST gen 2 3-15 x 44 FFP and Leupold Vx-5HD 3-15. I can get both for 40% off but can't figure out which...

    YJ death wobble

    Currently have the stock steering set up. Saving up for ram assist since it still gets driven on the street a lot.

    YJ death wobble

    Currently running 35" tires on leaf spring front end with Dana 60 in the front. Death wobble has gotten much more frequent after switching from 10 bolt axle. Do not currently have a track bar on the front. Will adding one help?

    Front calipers keep locking up after D60 swap

    Trying to figure out why my front calipers keep locking up. Just put chevy kingpin D60 in YJ. Have new calipers and a new master cylinder out of 96 Dodge Ram 2500. Stock MC was too spongy. Any thought on where the problem is?

    Electric water pump problems on LT1?

    Stock LT1, Radiator is in front with no obstructions. New radiator is going in the front with 3300 cfm puller fan and shroud. Not sure on the relief valve. I was running the brass radiator that came in the jeep with an electric fan and no shroud.

    Electric water pump problems on LT1?

    Probably going to switch back to the manual water pump so that I don't have to worry about family not watching temp gauge while driving.
