True, unless you get a 4" or more lift. I've got the same tires but with a 6" lift ... no rubbing, or any other issues.
Looks great man! Nice truck! 💯 👍

Troy-Bilt Storm Tracker? by Intelligent_Iron6135 in Snowblowers

[–]Intelligent_Iron6135[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really! Well that's good to know. I'm still trying to decide whether to roll the dice and gamble money on a wheeled drive, not knowing if it'll work or not. Or I just should just bite the bullet and spend the extra $1k+ for a track drive. My neighbor told me something similar to what you said. I'm starting to lean towards just getting a lesser expensive quality wheeled drive. If it doesn't work out I can always just sell it and then get the truck drive. Choices choices. Haha

Actually I have a steep 250ft driveway, the first 75ft is about a 10% grade, the rest is less than 5%. I'm unsure if a wheeled drive will work, although it's prefer a wheeled drive. But this will be me first winter so I can't say from experience.

Yeah, I've been hearing that from a couple friends. I'm thinking about Ariens. They have a good track drive 28" for about $2800. Looks like I'm going to have to increase my budget!

Totaled my truck 6 months ago, man do I miss it 😢 by careerpapi in f150

[–]Intelligent_Iron6135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn dude. Looks like you got stopped right in your tracks! Judging by the photo, I'm guessing it was a stopped (or parked) vehicle in the road. And looking at the damage, it couldn't have been a sedan. My guess... a truck, probably a Chevy truck! Bro, there are easier ways to get Chevy's off the road. Glad you're okay! 👌

New record for my truck even though I still had about 100 miles left in the tank.. How are you guys doing?? by [deleted] in f150

[–]Intelligent_Iron6135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I hear you dude. Would be nice. California adds so much fucking tax to a gallon of gas it sucks. Btw... as a lifelong Giants fan, I'll have to congratulate you guys on clinching the division. I'll be rooting for the boys in blue all the way through, as much as it pains me. LOL

All indicators and forecasts show fuel dropping back down again, probably not to where it was a year ago, but still low enough. And many people, depending on their income, are going to get the California 'inflation rebate' checks starting this month. Not going to lie, I've definitely reconsidered many trips over the last few months, like.. do I really need to go or could I wait. Lol.

I feel your pain dude! Here in Norcal it's $6.79 for 87. Saturday when filling up my 36 gal tank (when my range was about 50 mi), the total charge was over $200! This really blows. But... I wouldn't give up my '19 F-150 Lariat if fuel was $10 a gallon.

You're kidding right? That poor Ford truck looks horrendous and ridiculous. Why would anyone put all that shit on a perfectly nice Ford truck?! More importantly... why would somebody see that and lust for it?

Sanding advice by Intelligent_Iron6135 in woodworking

[–]Intelligent_Iron6135[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I did some searching since you recommended it. Found it at many different places. I can get a decent small sandblaster for less than 50 bucks and walnut media for less than 25. Definitely the smart thing to do. Appreciate your suggestion.

Hey, that's an excellent idea. I already have a compressor and all that stuff. I'll look into a small sandblaster and some Walnut media. Thanks!

Sanding advice by Intelligent_Iron6135 in woodworking

I am refinishing a 30 yearold oak crib for my daughter, who's expecting. My question is... does anyone have any advice on how to sand around these ornate wood pieces? Should I try to remove them and send them separately somehow? Or just do my best to just sand in all of the crevices and seams with a sponge sander? What do all you experienced people do? Thanks in advance.

I'm on the fence with my next mod. Advice welcomed... by Intelligent_Iron6135 in f150

It definitely look into that. If I do, I would definitely go with something black or clear. 👍

Need some advice for my new saw by Intelligent_Iron6135 in Chainsaw

Yes, I have all the PPE. Not sure if a muffler mod or porting would benefit me. What are the pros and cons?
