shit, I need to ship my truck to Hawaii and list it for $250K. Anyone know how hard it is to get plates for a trophy truck? :D

unhook the battery for 10 mins, then reconnect and try to start. you could also try using a jump box like a noco. The F series trucks do strange things when they sit for too long and go into "deep sleep" mode. Sometimes my superduty's BCM can't find the start button on the canbus loop if...

I need More tongue weight, not less. The front of my truck has been on a serious diet. The rear of my truck got heavier, especially when it is packed up for a baja run.

agreed on the clickbait. Now, take the same two trucks and line up on barstow main, or zoo road... Or hell, anything with a couple of miles of bumps. It would be cool to see someone take a hybrid truck and do midtravel, a cage and rear links, with some 40s and glass. I'd bet that as...

I dunno. this may be where we agree to disagree. I get my trailer unloaded and disconnected in 5 minutes by myself. I don't even have the fancy electric jack. I totally get the convenience part of your point. Parking can be a pain. My situation is a little different. I don't want to roach my...

The siren that I ordered has a PA function & mic. I guess I'll just have to drive around with a pack of wolves in the truck.

is it weird that I let that play for the full hour?

above the bumper line keeps you from destroying lights. I mount my lights so that there is something protecting them. because, well, my skidplates get used. like a lot. after experiencing remote trails, after dark, you can never have enough light. you want enough light so that you can drive...

I've been happy with king and/or fox, just not IFP Fox.

well, I went with a feniex storm 200w and a pair of their 100W Vanguard metal housing speakers. I'll control it through a 4200 mini controller. If this doesn't work, I'm putting a tug boat horn or a train horn on the truck.

I was just doing some research and figured out why cows come TOWARDS my truck when I hit the siren with the "air raid" tone. Some ranchers use "cattle sirens" to call the cattle over ( for many different reasons). Doh! :fca5278e: The cattle sirens top out at 120Db. The 200w Siren that I'm...

just as a heads up, the IFP products from fox really suck. they all leak, they are hard to tune, and they don't last very long before they need a rebuild.

I actually keep a "gel blaster" toy pistol in my truck now. Someone brought them as a goof for happy hour during the runs, but they make a great "herding" tool. The "ammo" is biodegradable too. you just get a package of the gellies, add water, fill the mag and full-auto fun! I think I'm...

yes it does, but I'd still order a lubelocker gasket. they seal better and they are about $20.

running over a rancher's livestock might not have the best outcome for me. We tend to need their permission to cross the land and I don't think they need us clipping their herd. a loud siren is also something that makes bombing down trails a bit safer as any unseen oncoming traffic will at...

going to baja is doable for anyone. I've developed a bit of a love affair/addiction with Baja, because for my money, nothing comes close. I don't do much else aside from work and prep/plan/go to Baja.

pretty sure they'll give more of a shit about 400w vs 100w. :beatdeadhorse5:

I want to go full-on electric, police quality siren. Beyond the livestock issue, when we have a priority incident, leaving the siren on wail with all of my lights on helps notify anyone near me that I'm hauling ass to get to the scene of the issue/emergency. I have onboard air, but I'll...

there is a prerunner day at texplex once a month. Texplex is in midlothian. There are some trails out near big bend and some near el paso. I want to try to find someone around the Junction, Tx area that will let me tool around on their land. There are TONS of pretty canyons and trails off of...

Honestly, I'd buy a trailer. I've been hauling my truck on a 20Ft PJ B5. ( 102" wide, 12K jack, rear ramps, wood deck, 7K lb axles, G rated tires. I'm going to upgrade sometime soon, as I've modified the weight balance on my truck enough that the 20Ft is too short for me to load the tongue...

So, I've been using a pretty inexpensive "chinesium" 100W Siren on my truck for the past year or so. I went cheap on the first one as I wasn't sure how much use I'd get out of it. Now that I'm certain that it is a VERY useful tool when crossing ranch land both in the US and in Mexico, I need...

sorry if I missed it, but does the washer button fire off the wipers? or is it completely useless?

maybe I should see if mcneil will make me some "lincoln" fiberglass. I'll record a custom tone for my siren "alright alright alright" to complete the transformation.

when your truck is a full 13" wider than a stock Raptor (12" wider than a military humvee) and rolling on 40s, it's a little difficult to go incognito. :batman2:

my truck would be way too wide for a lot of people. honestly, any wider at all and it would be undrivable in Baja. I'm not afraid to whack a fender or two, so it doesn't bother me. I get to push the truck where I'm familiar with the terrain. I hit the big Vado on the trail into the bay of LA...
