    Brainstorming my next rig. How to fit 4 mountain bikes inside a 4x4.

    Do you need the heavy duty payload capacity? if so you look for 7 lug wheels vs 6 lug, but they're pretty rare. Also, 3.73 vs 3.55 rear end is not an issue with an ecoboost and a 6k trailer, also, 3.55 e-lockers are common. Mines effectively a 3.43 now (3.55*32/33) due to larger tires and had...

    Brainstorming my next rig. How to fit 4 mountain bikes inside a 4x4.

    Two years back when we sold our trailer my plan was to trade the F-150 on a new Rubicon. I found the one I wanted in Bountiful the next day and went for a test-drive. After the drive, I realized I could not part with the truck.

    Brainstorming my next rig. How to fit 4 mountain bikes inside a 4x4.

    Huge is what you want when loading up car seats. I just took mine through a lot of the Maze district (but not the Dollhouse). I'm on 33's, an inch over stock, and that was before I leveled it. I did use the skid plates a couple times though. It's been a long time(years) since I've heard any...

    Brainstorming my next rig. How to fit 4 mountain bikes inside a 4x4.

    I'm a bit biased but what about an f150 super crew with 6.5" bed and ecoboost. Huge back seat, 4 full size doors, tows like a beast, 36 gal tank available. If you're in the area I'll let you try mine with your trailer.

    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    That one was here when I bought the property 7 years ago and I a bought another, bigger one last fall. I like them. My only complaint is the plastic does not hold shelf fasteners well, so anything heavy needs to be supported from the floor.

    CB receiving issue

    In general, I would say that scenario is a transmitter problem. That said, some questions: Was it static such as between stations on the radio or a whine or squeal of some sort? How far away was the sender? Was this a problem with anyone else near you listening to the same source? You said...

    Shed relocation

    Assuming this is a wood shed with frame and deck base. I moved an 8x12 one using pipes to roll it on. Once in the final spot, I had to cut out the floor inside, get the floor joists back to vertical again and reinstall the floor.
