  1. I love watching his videos! He a super nice guy too from what I hear. My brother got to meet him when he was out that way last year. It’s off-roading, sometimes things happen…. It’s usually when you either push it too hard or just plain run out of talent! Have fun and be safe all while knowing the limitations of the vehicle you are enjoying the outdoors with.

    That is a great Truck FOR SURE!!!!  

    Thanks Poule…. I love that truck and want to buy it so badly especially at that price…. but don’t have a need for it and am not willing to get rid of my 19 f250 with only 55k miles on it

  3. Helping my brother out. He is selling his 2002 F350 4x4 with the 7.3 in it. Our family has owned the truck since 2004 when we bought it with 20k miles on it. He just had all the body work done and fresh paint so it looks fresh. Heavy duty torque converter installed when the trans was rebuilt about 15k miles ago….. the rest of the work he’s done recently is in the ad attached below. It has a banks big hoss package on it. It is located in Sanger, ca. currently registered and ready to go!! He has spent $15k on fixing it up in the past 6 months or so… Feel free to shoot over any questions on here or contact him through the ad.

  4. My first RC was a Futaba FX10 then I upgraded to an RC10 and it blew my mind!

    I now have a Traxxas XRT and man those things are pricey but dude, they are INSANE!! Almost impossible to break and it’s a 30lb beast that goes way too fast!

  5. I have had a 2002 7.3, 2004.5 GMC 2500, and currently have a 2019 F250 with 6.7. That gives me a bit of experience with a couple of different views on it. I have owned the f250 since early 2020. I put a level kit and 35’s on it right away along with icon reservoir shocks 2.5’s in the front and 2.0’s in the back. Unfortunately it came stock with a 3.31 rear end instead of the 3.55. I was shocked how easily it towed our 36’ 5th wheel toy hauler that is about 14k-15k lbs loaded depending on what we have in it. I verified weights on the scale since I am particular about knowing exactly where I’m at. It tows like a dream with no area where I felt a need to regear it to the 3.55’s or 3.73’s . Mileage wise I get about 13-14 mpg town driving and about 17-18 freeway. I do have a light right foot and keep it pretty mellow though. Engine is completely stock and no tuning either. I recently went with 37’s and it still has tons of power to spare. I haven’t towed yet with the bigger tires but no longer have my trailer so towing wise I’ll probably only be occasionally towing a 14k lb bumper pull enclosed and the flatbed with rzr on it. I have loved the truck since the day it showed up. The shocks made a huge difference in handling over the crappy fabtech shocks I had initially. It uses very little DEF. I probably use 5 or 6 gallons a year. I don’t drive a ton though….. I’ve put 40k miles on it since April 2020. I wouldn’t hesitate buying a 17-19 super duty. I know tons of guys that have that year range and not one has had an issue with theirs. One friend has a deleted one and said it’s insane and gets well over 20mpg freeway if he keeps it at 70 or below. Please let me know if you have any more questions. 
     

    no idea why I can’t rotate the photo…. Sorry

  6. What’s it like to have a G52 as a throwdown extra car😂 …. I think I have a couple extra throwdown 2x4’s lying around in my side yard. Just messing….. those are awesome rides! Glad it’s in a good home that will take care of it

  7. Been seeing a lot of pulmonary embolisms in young men as well as crazy cardiac stuff since the shots came out. I swore to not listen to media on either side when all this started going on. Instead, base my opinion on what I saw in the field in the EMS world. All I know is, there are more young people with the “rare” side affects of the vaccine. So many people led astray with false information. Just praying they don’t try and pull this crap on is again. If they do, hopefully most of the population has figured it out , but I fear many have not.

  8. I’ll be at the point for a while still where I really don’t get gifts at Christmas. We have 4 kids and never thought I would understand the concept of enjoying watching them open gifts more than getting gifts. And yet, here I am! The reality is if there is something I want/need during the year, I get it. I just tell the wife her love is all I need 🤣. Merry Christmas all!! May God bless your holiday season and families!

  9. There are many options for paramedic school…. Not sure what area you are in but crafting hills college received a chunk of money donated from San Manuel  that will cover tuition from what I understand. We are in the days of everyone gets a trophy and programs have become much easier. Good luck to him in his endeavors. There is a shortage of kids wanting to get into the fire service that have good life experience and have turned a wrench growing up. 

  10. Agree or disagree with the Bible….. but if you read biblical prophecy in regards to Israel, we need to look no further than Ezekiel 37 and 38. It specifically talks about Israel gathering itself back up and becoming a stable country dare we say closest to peace with Saudi Arabia than it’s ever been. Once that came to fruition, the prophecy we find in Ezekiel could very much be becoming a reality in front of our eyes. You see, this prophetic portion of scripture refers to Israel being attacked from the north by Magog which their large neighbor to the North is Russia. Now we know Russia is not currently attacking Israel however, the further you read, “Magog” will join with Persia “modern day Iran” and attack Israel. Who finances Hamas you ask, well Iran of course and who is negotiating weapons trades with Iran you ask, well Russia of course. 
    Again, feel how you want about Christianity and the Holy Bible, but it was written many moons ago and remains relevant today with prophecy that is unfolding in front of us. With all the social issue insanity, pandemics, natural disasters, and general unrest throughout our globe, now os the time for salvation….

    “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’ ””
    ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3‬:‭20‬-‭22‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

  11. Looks like we may have found a winner…. I was offered MSRP on a 2024 Sport-L. Salesman sent me the quote and said no mark up, but will probably try to pull the dealer added accessory package. I told him no deal if that’s the case so hopefully when the vehicle shows up next week they don’t pull a fast one.

    I don’t remember a sport L model. I think sport is just a little fancier interior and rails on the roof for racks. 
    Bought the car end of may, my daughter loves it and is getting 40+ mpg. 

    There is a sport-L that is one step below the Touring. Has almost every option including leather interior with orange stitching. Looks awesome. The MSRP is around $38 for that model. But most dealerships in socal add stupid stuff and overcharge for them. Like “paint protection” for $1295

    I bought my daughter a 23 CRV Hybrid Sport 4 months ago for $38k.  Started off with the Costco program but worked a better price from the dealership.  DCH Honda Mission Valley, San Diego. 

    Funny you mention DCH…. I just found them yesterday and started talking to them. Looks like I might be getting about the same deal….. now if we can just decide between a used RDX and new CRV

     

    on a side note, was that the Sport or the Sport-L?
