I had ridge grapplers (35x12.5) on my previous truck and they still had plenty of tread left after 60K miles. I plan on buying more for the new truck soon.

What truck if you don’t mind me asking

    I'm not a truck nut per se.  I'm certainly not a gear head.  And, I'm not at all impulsive.  But, I saw this truck on the side of the road two weeks ago, test drove it the next day, took it to my budd

    One year without a truck was too long.  I’m back. And figured, fuck it. I can’t take it with me so might as well enjoy it.

1500 tho? 

I just bought a set of Ridge Grapplers for my 2014 Land Cruiser today too. So far so good

Yes, sorry lmao

Reason I ask is it makes a big difference, even between the makes.  When I used to run Terra Grapplers, I would get about 10-15k less than my buddies with Super-Dutys.  And I keep my shit aligned and rotated, aired properly etc.  Hell I even got what I considered really good mileage out of them.  But they would wear like iron for the Ford guys.  Mine were on a 3/4-ton Dmax fwiw.

Forgot to mention, my AT4 came with Goodyear Duratrac Wranglers and they are so loud at 40-60 mph that I'm dumping them early for the RG's which were whisper quiet comparatively.


I replaced my stock duratech wranglers. One tire had a huge gash under the tread, no warranty and the other three had peeling on the side wall. I was ready to replace them

Jesus, luckily I haven't had any issues like that. What a pain in the ass 

Back passenger tire, easily that was me rubbing a curb. Not sure about the other two. The gash was huge, tread coming apart

That is the biggest drawback I've always heard about Dutatracs. Weak sidewalls.

They don't balance worth a fuck either.

Found a local dealer that is honoring X-plan, so somewhat under MSRP.    

There are some dealers nationwide who are offering $X below MSRP, and even 2 or 3 who are offering $X below invoice, but there was nothing like that near me.  I checked into the cost of ordering from one of the $X under invoice dealers and then having it shipped, but the total cost was going to be about the same as the X-Plan so I just put my order in with a local dealer who was honoring X-Plan.

Yeah, it's a 3-ply.  Same with BFG's.  Used to run those exclusively @ the ranch due to mesquite thorns.  Running stock Tundra TRD Michelin AT2's.  We've done enough road work that they are fine.  Once they give up the ghost, will upgrade to the Ridge Grapplers more than likely.  Maybe Toyo Open Country's.

I've got 35x12.50 Ridge Grapplers on my 2017 F-150. They have 37K miles on them and still have a ton of tread left. I love these tires.

Toyo OC AT3s are fantastic.

That’s a man’s tire 

I’m on set 4 I think of Cooper Discover AT3’s  after my tire guy got me to switch. I couldn’t be happier with the brand. I kept having wear issues with Toyo’s and BFG’s and he kept trying to get me to switch, but I was against it. Finally changed a couple trucks ago and they are the first thing that goes on along with the suspension now. Traded the last two with 55k or so on them and they still had plenty of life. They ride great, they wear even, they aren’t loud, they are good in the rain which the other two sucked at, etc. I average 25k-35k miles a year on them and have had zero issues.

I have a great many things to pay for first, but what’s a respectable four door truck with leather seats go for nowadays?

What frame is the regular 2021 Bronco on?

Ranger.

The Ranger is great. And it's not that smaller than an early 90s F150. Trucks have grown so freaking much.

The new Tremor package for the Ranger looks pretty nice.

Popped my trucks deer cherry this morning. 60 mph, never saw it till split second before impact. It actually took it fairly well, bumper is toast but nothing else serious. It will likely still cost 5k+ with all the plastic crap they have to replace behind it. 1k deductible, here we come. 

Bro truck. Fuck you@G650 i am a minimalist. Also I like the contrast. Lmao. 7b2da546ac80970cfb7a57e7ca425850.jpg

Very similar specs actually. 

Looking for exhaust advice for 1992 chevy blazer that is all factory with common base 5.7 v8. Don’t want anything too loud/annoying, just deeper rumble mostly. I’m in south Austin so shops down here as well.

Just traded my 2018 XLT for a 21 Lariat at Mac Haik Houston. Paid 39.2K for the XLT in 2018 and traded it in for $35K! The lariat was pricey but I couldn't pass up the trade offer on my 2018. Inventory is a shit show right now and I tried to buy a few different trucks before I landed on the Lariat.

It's the inventory issues keeping used prices higher than giraffe pussy right now.


Anyone have goods recs for a body shop/pdr guy? Had my truck at Leif Johnson for service last week and it got popped pretty good by the hail storm.

Went with the 3.5 eco. It’s a 4x4 501a. The ride is incredible so far

2WD or 4WD on your ‘18 XLT? How many miles? $35k is a helluva trade offer ... don’t blame you one bit for jumping on that.

My Dad recently traded in a 17 FX4 F150 for a new 250. They gave him 34k for the 17.

It's now on their used lot listed at 37999. Used prices are bonkers

It was a 4x4 302a with aftermarket leather added. Only 34K miles. Would have probably had 45-50K miles if covid never happened. 

Did I miss it, have we talked about this thing yet?

Personally I do not like it. That is all I have to say about it.

Anyone thinking about getting rid of their truck, check Carvana. I paid $28.5k for my 2018 STX w/ 24k miles early February. Carvana is offering me $36k for it. Kinda crazy.

We did that to a buddies 4x4 deer lease suburban back in high school.  Lots of cutoff wheels in the grinder and sawzall blades then put on a rattle can camo job.  Spend the summer cruising around town in it before hauling back down to the lease.

I was about to say, they are half way to a really nice quail rig. But alas, April 1st.
