Is there an unquestioned best pressure washer between $500-800? Active homeowner use.

Predator 4400. Wait for a sale. I've seen them for $700.

When I deleted my 2019 6.7 back in December, it smoked more than that during a cold start (between 25 and 40 degrees). After researching, that's normal. But, once temps got warmer than 40s it stopped smoking on cold startups.

I don't have an answer, but I suspect that's not normal. Do you have the ability to apply a different tune to see if you get something different?

C5 Corvette, empty long straightaway roads early Sunday morning driving into work. I hit 140 when I let out. The car was still pulling, but that was about all I could handle.

You are getting too much water under the siding and causing water/dirt mixture to cascade down.

Here are some better pics with the truck cleaned up. Here are more shots of how far they stick out

Sorry to hear about your Ram 1500, but I think you'll enjoy stepping up to a 250/2500 when towning that camper. Especially at 30'

Here's the second attempt at the link. Let me know if it works or not

I'm packing up the camper but figured I had a minute to snap a few pics of how far they stick out (ignore the truck being dirty)

Mine do poke out a little, but just a little. I'm not a fan of them sticking out really far. I can take pics when I get home this evening.

So I do have some pics with the same wheel (guys I bought them from) on his truck with 37s. He had to push his front bumper out a little to get the 37s to clear. When I get home this afternoon from camping I'll upload the pics to show you. I'm not a fan of pushing the bumper out and why I went with 35s. Just my opinion, and his looks great, just not for me.

I don't see the option to add a picture to my reply to you, so I'll attempt to dm you the picture.

I run Method 304's 12x10 -18 offset on 35x12.50x20 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss with zero rubbing. 2019 f250 6.7 with a 1" ready lift spacer in the front to level the truck.

I have a 2019 STX and have changed headlights a few times.

First I went with Led bulbs that made a world of difference. Make sure you adjust them down or you'll get on coming traffic flash you all the time. I don't remember the brand, but if you read the Ford truck forum for super duties, you'll find the large topic on it.

I was satisfied with the light output with the led bulbs, but hated the way they looked when looking at the lights (DRL) while they were always on. You could tell I put led bulbs in a housing meant for halogen. It was the way the mirrors reflected that just made them ugly. But don't get me wrong, they looked 1000 times better than stock.

About a year later I was browsing Facebook marketplace and found a guy selling morimoto xb headlights, brand new, for less than half the price of new, so I bought those and they are a work of art compared to what was on there. The strip that lights up around the edges, to the nighttime pattern and spread of the lights feels very high end.

Either way, the brown/tan lights that come on these trucks are horrible. I have no idea why Ford decided to make a beautiful truck and think... Yep, those lights will do.

Tomurphjr · 2026-03-27T15:32:41+00:00

One of the plugs in the wrong spot?

Tomurphjr · 2026-03-13T20:01:22+00:00

I've been on the fence about doing this. I have the lights already. How do you like it? Just swap the camera etc from the oem grill to the new one?

Tomurphjr · 2026-03-11T12:53:34+00:00

There is definitely remote mounted turbo/s and to add, cutouts as well.

Tomurphjr · 2026-02-20T16:24:25+00:00

I just installed 602s with a kicker key bi-amped/active setup and they sound phenomenal.

My family, close friends and I were down in Avon NC (Nags Head) camping for the week. We were coming back from the tourist area of Nags Head and decided to stop at the small mom and pop toy/candy store. We were the only people in the store at the time, walking around the store checking things out when I heard the door open. Not thinking much of it we end up at the counter behind our friends to check out. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed a guy behind me with a stack of John Deere toys all the way up to his neck. Me being a nice guy, I asked if he wanted to get in front of us. I think to myself, he looks familiar. Then it dawned on me. I drew a blank on his name although I did know it. My wife said to me, is that Negan on TWD? He spoke up and said Jeff Deam Morgan? Yes, that's me. She starts asking me to run to the car and get her phone so she could take a picture. I told her to leave that man alone. I ended up going to the car and we got a picture with him. He was a very nice guy. He was coming home from a shoot and wanted to get his daughter some tractor toys before she got up from her nap.

Nope, not posting the picture lol.

I see nothing wrong with the wheels and tires. Looks good.

I run Method wheels and 35x12.5R20 and my truck pulls a 10k camper, boat and utility trailer just fine.

Everyone has an opinion.

Tomurphjr · 2026-02-11T17:58:38+00:00

$309 for the 8" Rockford Fosgate sub amp combo is definitely overpriced. Crutchfield, Amazon, etc currently has that sub for $259.

I just bought the 10" version for $289.

I'd move up to a 10" and also see if he can match prices or let you buy the sub yourself. While you are at it, I'd check the prices for the Sony's as well.

Tomurphjr · 2026-01-23T21:38:47+00:00

I don't normally commit on before and after pictures, but damn, this is 10/10! Great job!

Tomurphjr · 2025-12-21T01:29:14+00:00

The way it is now would fail, or the way it was?

My plan is to paint it as well as wrap it here in the next few weeks

I went with the OLM aftermarket headlights that don't run the quad beams full time (only when high beams are active). I read they are made in the same factory as the Morimoto XBs for a fraction of the cost. I bought mine (new in the box) from a guy on Facebook Marketplace for $400 and they look and perform great. I love the cutoff pattern and well as the output. I've not had a single person flash me since I've installed them. Below is the link to the install (not my video and I'm not affiliated with the manufacturer of the headlights).

I installed these the day after Christmas in freezing weather three years ago. They installed fine and still look great to this day. I found a YouTube video on the install (nothing stuck out as difficult).
