tow rig

I picked up this diamond in the rough to turn into my daily driver and 'light' tow rig: This will not be turned into an overlanding rig:shaking::homer: It is a 2005 with under 200k miles on the clock with the timing belt/water pump done at ~170k... and full synthetic for at least the last two...

Recent events made me think about this :laughing: Say you do 1 or 2 big trips a year. Seems like it makes more sense to just rent a new pickup? I remember reading about someone who borrowed a big wedge trailer that fit 3 or 4 rigs. Didn't have anyone in their group with a big enough truck...

All this talk of the complexity of newer trucks has me thinking. My lbz is getting long in the tooth and honestly I’ve never used it the way I had planned. I planned on a camper and rig on trailer behind it. Kids are leaving the nest and I really don’t need a crew cab anymore. So I thought...

Starting a BS chat/ build thread on the F-350. Backstory, I sold my last truck to prop up the down payment on my house. I regret it since it was a 98 QCLB 12v, 5 speed, 4wd, truck with no rust, But a house with a low interest rate was the best financial investment I'll ever make. A couple of...

Not seeing anything in search. Curious what people are running, if you made changes etc Engine Trans Axle Tire Pretty much minimum standards for any post :flipoff2: Contemplating going from 4.1 to 4.8 in my class c, not sure if that's too aggressive compared to 4.5. Target weight is about...

Tow rig: 71 F250, NP435, NP205, D60 F&R, 4:10. Air bags for supplemental rear lift/equalization. Currently running 20 YO OG BFG M/T on 15" factory aluminum rims. I know before I do any real towing I need new tires, but none of the tire sites lists a 71 F250. When I look at a 1990 F350 4x4...

Last time I went wheelin/camping. I noticed the truck,2014 Ram 2500, was sagging quite a bit. Also, my old drop hitch, only rated for 6k lbs, looked to be flexing. Upgrades were needed. After some YouTube research, I decided to try some SumoSprings and a Gen-Y Boss torsion hitch. I installed the...

good morning all, so i finally got into a 1 ton tow rig and i cant be happier. sure a 3/4 ton would have worked but after searching and searching the oly 3/4 tons i found were 6.5 foot beds. and since my rv went tits up and the roof deleted its self it made this decision easier for sure...

So I've had an 18' bumper pull forever. I'm finishing up my buddies rebuild and he has no way of towing and I've got another build underway for myself so I've known I would be in need of hauling two Jeeps for a bit. My quick math says I wouldn't over load my power wagon with a lowboy gooseneck...

I am looking to buy a 2023 F250 or GMC 2500. The truck will share commuting duties with my Wrangler to my office (about 66 miles round trip but I only go in every other day or so) and will haul my Jeep and possibly another wrangler for a 6-8 offroad trips each year. It needs to be crew cab to...
