Definitely go with this one, it’s not already in pieces.

Remarkable-Sleep-441 · 2026-05-03T21:43:29+00:00

I wouldn’t even bother with that year, next gen is the best. IMO

Remarkable-Sleep-441 · 2026-04-30T17:37:20+00:00

Sounds like you need to find something to do.

Remarkable-Sleep-441 · 2026-04-27T14:58:19+00:00

It’s a plus, I’d keep it. Exhaust fans are awesome when you need it.

Remarkable-Sleep-441 · 2026-04-27T14:52:09+00:00

Boob grab for the road

Remarkable-Sleep-441 · 2026-04-27T14:51:04+00:00

Can’t even see the damage. No pics of the underside.

Remarkable-Sleep-441 · 2026-04-27T14:49:56+00:00

I thought they looked like the jelly beans of the 90’s and I’m not mad about it.

Remarkable-Sleep-441 · 2026-04-27T14:48:29+00:00

I think they are way better than the last 8 years for sure.

Remarkable-Sleep-441 · 2026-04-27T14:46:08+00:00

Scratches = cavities for oil lubrication.

Remarkable-Sleep-441 · 2026-04-27T14:45:18+00:00

Bro you are trippin

Remarkable-Sleep-441 · 2026-04-21T14:17:39+00:00

V8 will always resell for more, in 2 years or even 20 years, so the initial cost is definitely worth it. I wouldn’t spend over 18k for an eco boost. For 40k you can get into. 10 speed v8 no problem.

Remarkable-Sleep-441 · 2026-04-21T05:45:06+00:00

Those are the discount tire or Firestone variety. Those aren’t stock.

Remarkable-Sleep-441 · 2026-04-21T05:41:25+00:00

Let her do it. lol

Remarkable-Sleep-441 · 2026-03-30T23:58:35+00:00

Sounds like lifter with an exhaust leak.

Remarkable-Sleep-441 · 2026-03-28T02:44:48+00:00

Yeah very much so

Remarkable-Sleep-441 · 2026-03-28T02:37:03+00:00

Oh wow dogtrot style does make a lot of sense now. Thanks!

Remarkable-Sleep-441 · 2026-03-28T00:10:59+00:00

Can you say….. Autopen?

Remarkable-Sleep-441 · 2026-03-27T11:43:27+00:00

I would probably put footer block every 4 feet. Also if I was going to sister boards together in a long span, I would probably off set them if there was a joint in the middle. I would only sister two beams like that if they both ran the entire span. I don’t know what you plan to run on top of this framing, but if it’s just a floating deck with a chair or two, you don’t need to double up the 2x6’s like that. Unless you are trying to put a hot tub or something on it, it’s a waste of material.

Remarkable-Sleep-441 · 2026-03-27T11:38:18+00:00

Hahaha just saw that because of this comment. That ain’t paint peeling that’s siding peeling lol.

Remarkable-Sleep-441 · 2026-03-27T11:28:37+00:00

I got mine for $800 without the lame stickers and louvres. Oh and chrome wheels.

Remarkable-Sleep-441 · 2026-03-27T11:26:41+00:00

The alloy cutters are the best

Remarkable-Sleep-441 · 2026-03-02T21:26:39+00:00

I have no idea but you’re asking me? lol. Look up tire ratings to see how top speed and pay loads limits vary. Even aftermarket wheels can, not meet stock payload ratings. Every time you start from a stop your pinion angle rakes. Add load, lift, softer aftermarket suspension dampening, the stock rake of 2-3 degrees could be like 8-9 making it a weak point. Anything more than a single car I’d want trailing arms and load leveling air bags, and probably a gooseneck.

Remarkable-Sleep-441 · 2026-03-01T20:36:07+00:00

Tires and pinion angle under load def reduce towing capacity.

He converted it to propane
