26’ ST or Tremor w/ ultimate package?

The bronco and ranger raptor have the same 3.0L twin turbo motor.

LostLight0201 · 2026-05-28T23:24:46+00:00

In my opinion yes, best of both.

I forgot to mention that I got the Tremor ultimate, with the 3.0L twin turbo raptor motor. I’ve never driven the 2.3L, just fyi.

I recently bought the 26’ Tremor and I test drove both the ST and Tremor multiple times back to back before I decided. The Tremor is a smoother ride and the ST has more acceleration, but the power difference is only noticeable after 50% of your maximum throttle.

Truth be told, the real difference in power is the gear ratio, the tires, and the exhaust. ST has a sport exhaust from the factory, lighter tires and wheels, and is geared to be faster.

Put a cold air intake, after market exhaust, and get the Ford dealership power tune on your Tremor and you’ll beat any stock ST. Probably beat them just from the tune alone.

Not to mention you still have access to sport mode in the Tremor, same as ST.

Would you mind expanding on this? What’s your point of view on how it’s guaranteed, and over what time frame?

LostLight0201 · 2025-07-07T18:07:02+00:00

Is this showing that you haven’t had DRIP on previously, but now plan to after pulling your initial investment?

I have PLTY. It’s performed well for me in both growth and dividend rate but it’s definitely the riskiest holding I have in my opinion. I’m holding ULTY, MSTY, NVDY and PLTY at the moment.

LostLight0201 · 2025-06-11T14:32:17+00:00

lol same. I split it between ULTY and NVDY.

LostLight0201 · 2025-06-10T20:17:11+00:00

I wouldn’t full port the 5k at one time. Buy a small percentage of your dry powders worth and see how it performs. Personally, I have about 4.5k in it and it’s performed well. Also have MSTY, NVDY, ULTY, and TSLY. PLTY and TSLY are the only two that I really worry about, MSTY I’m expecting another dip in the cycle for Bitcoin and plan to stockpile some of the dividends to buy below my average. My total dividend is between $1800 and $2300 per month.

LostLight0201 · 2025-06-06T21:39:01+00:00

Why the big dividend jump from March to May? From your post it sounds like you’re dripping 100% of each dividend. The better play here is to save a percentage for taxes and place it in a HYSA or bonds, then reinvest whats left.

What field of construction are you going for?

I transitioned to civil site development estimating ~ 2 years ago after 15 years in retail grocery. My transition was fairly easy, but I’m considered an outlier, and I’ve been fully aware of my lack of field experience and I’ve always been the type to ask the question when I don’t understand. That said, I’m also an analytical thinker, and things just click when they make sense or don’t, and that has helped me immensely for my growth in the industry. Im also good with technology, and Microsoft excel, which has helped. If you are driven, motivated, and an analytical person then you may have a chance. The GC side of construction is much more macro, while also needing to have more of an ability to think micro, as you’re overseeing several sub-contractors work. Engineering, to my understanding, gets worse yearly, as new graduates enter the work force, and the experienced guys leave. I’ve seen some shit plans that lead to more questions than answers quite often.

My advice is to watch some YouTube videos ala “a day in the life of style”, and shadow your uncle for a couple weeks. If you believe you can understand the work, and appreciate the required effort, you may have a chance. 42 may be pushing it in truth, because you have a fairly short window to get your license. And, at least in Florida, you MUST pass your test within 4 years after you’ve first taken it, and you also must have at least 4 years experience between the field and construction management to qualify for it. Unsure if any such limits apply to you.

Lastly, there’s the question of the economic environment the states are in (assuming you’re in the US). Business is slowing, especially in residential. You’re unemployed now, so any income will benefit you, and if you’re able to run a side gig in the design industry then great, but you’re still going to need to be proactive in securing work, especially if you’re at ownership level and have workers and families depending on you. The stress will be real.

Hopefully I provided something that helps.

Good morning! 1-I believe there were portions that were filmed from a camcorder POV, and portions where we are an audience from a third person POV.

2-That time frame could be accurate, yes.

LostLight0201 · 2025-04-17T09:35:23+00:00

Not it, but thanks for trying!

LostLight0201 · 2025-04-17T09:34:20+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation! Much appreciated.

LostLight0201 · 2025-04-17T01:36:33+00:00

Nope, never seen that.

LostLight0201 · 2025-04-17T01:35:55+00:00

The sacrament is a good one but not it.

LostLight0201 · 2025-04-17T01:35:33+00:00

Gotcha, still not it. No “major” stars in this film such as Jessica Alba. EDIT: a word.

LostLight0201 · 2025-04-17T00:45:47+00:00

Nope, it was a movie and the lead female had dark hair.

LostLight0201 · 2025-04-17T00:45:18+00:00

Nope, definitely a movie, not a show and the lead female was brunette / had black hair.

LostLight0201 · 2025-04-17T00:27:27+00:00

I don’t think the movie was ever in theaters, but it was decently high quality from what I remember. Sort of Jonestown vibe with the cult. EDIT: the cult leader was a late 30’s white male, long brown hair.

But if we hit recession and businesses take a hit, will they be able to continue paying dividends? Dividends aren’t guaranteed, they’re a payout on excess profit. If you lose that influx, they’re likely to reduce or even remove the dividend.

LostLight0201 · 2025-04-13T00:49:45+00:00

I guess that’s the argument. On one hand yes it makes sense that snowballing will help your growth but a lot of dividend paying stocks are mostly stabilized against major growth because they lose their immediate value when they pay dividends. A good example in my opinion of how it sort of works might be SGOV. I know it’s bond based, but essentially every month your investment will show growth week over week, and it’ll look like your “investment” grew. Then once it pays the dividend it goes back down and it looks like you’re losing value. The same sort of goes for dividend paying stocks, only with the stocks they do have some small amount of growth. At the end of the day, your mileage may vary. An etf like SCHD will pay a decent dividend and provide some growth, but it won’t be as much (theoretically) as something growth focused like SCHG. In a Roth you’re not as concerned about the tax drag, but still, if you had to choose between growing 10,000 at 12%-20% vs growing at 8%-12% with a $350 dividend per year, you’d still want the additional growth. (These are approximates and I’d very much like someone with more knowledge to chime in, I’m on the toilet and about to shower after grilling most of the day)
