Target hardening. Any anti-theft device can be defeated, but the harder and more burdensome it is to do, the smaller the pool of thieves willing to steal under a given set of circumstances is. Bicycle locks are very easy to defeat, if someone has the knowledge and readily available tools to do...

Looks like someone hacked an older account for some spam time goodness.

https://www.overlandadventuresummit.com/ I have no affiliation with this event, just putting it up for anyone interested. Note it will overlap with the TN meet-up while being about 4 hours away. I'm going to try and attend on Saturday, as it looks like it'll be fun and I'll be in the general...

I was Is that the one with the frame mounted cameras? Such a sweet idea for crawlers to be able to see where rocks are under their vehicles. I think they have the camera view of each tire as well for self-spotting. I still like the Ranger Raptor better overall, but the GM looks fun as well...

Option #1: You didn't send nudes. Option #2: You did send nudes.

I'm out, can't make a 0800 start. If you decide to do a run in the fall, though, I'd be interested if the schedule works.

I6 vs V6, probably.

If you're not having fun with it, move on. If you're scared it's going to break, well, it will. Everything mechanical eventually does. Can you deal with it when it does? Warranties are for suckers and poors. Self insure against any financial loss that isn't catastrophic and, long term...

With the early morning start, I may be out. I have to be in Lexington Ky for an event the night before and doubt I can be back on the road in time to get there. If the map gets shared, I'd still appreciate being included, though.

Granger was offering the same deal on Broncos before they were built. Mark Dodge is a huge volume dealer and does order sales offers for every model. I'm sure some folks will happily pay MSRP or more, just like they did with Broncos and Raptors, but if you are willing to wait for an order and...

But if the Raptor sells at MSRP and the RHO has a $10k discount...(Mark Dodge has a discount to order, Granger has an Invoice -4% to order)

It's a combustion engine they are using in multiple other vehicles, so economy of scale. Keeping the TRX would mean making a model-specific motor for a low sales volume vehicle since the end of the Challenger/Charger V8 cars. Probably one they have to pay Tesla for a carbon credit or some such...

I'd be very interested in a PHEV Ranger Raptor.

I work a later shift so if I see 10 o'clock twice in a day I'm seldom happy about it. :D

Meat point? Didn't know it was that kind of party... June 8th works for me tentatively.

Sure. But it's still fun and the big museums they built across the street are completely worth it. Even my wife, not a big Elvis fan, found them really interesting. I like Graceland because it shows you what a hillbilly who strikes it rich does, and also reminds you that no matter how much...

Tentatively interested depending on date. I like Nashville and haven't been for a couple of years. Johnny Cash museum is completely worth it. If you haven't been to Graceland and you have the time to get down to Memphis you should do that as well. Can't get into Hillbilly Heaven if you don't...

Mark Dodge in LA is consistently one of the cheapest places in the nation to order a Ram (or buy one off the lot, but usually significantly cheaper to order) and they are already offering $9-$11k off RHO orders, depending on final MSRP. Unknown if affiliate pricing will apply, but that's an...

Nobody wants to let thieves walk free, but nobody has the manpower to deal with it effectively. We had a multi-jurisdictional task force that made some inroads in to shutting down professional chop shops, but we don't have to deal with the border crossing stuff which makes it easier for us...

Some trims and options just don't seem to sit on the lot and really need to be ordered. I hope the standard output makes it into the Gladiator. A Rubicon or Mojave with a non-minivan motor would be a nice combo as well.

Lulz.

I don't really care about mpg. I care about distance between needing to refuel and how many jerry cans I need to carry when refueling at my leisure isn't a realistic option. Even a 3mpg difference is an extra 100 miles of range assuming the 33 gallon tank. I suspect the highway miles won't be...

A lot of Shelby cars are desirable and some are...less so. I remember the econo-box Shelby (including, the Dodge versions like the Daytona) of the past and the current F-150 is :shakehead: Dodge has always been more mainstream, no argument there. They'd rather sell a thousand Chargers than...
