    Lifting the ranger

    You keep saying lean and I keep thinking you want your truck to lean to the left or right. So yeah. Take out the torsion bar and a couple leaf springs from one side of your truck 😂

    Lifting the ranger

    Shocks will not lift your vehicle. Shocks control the speed of your travel. Your torsion bars are the equivalent of what coil springs and leaf springs do... set ride height. Like someone else mentioned, make sure to leave some down travel if you start cranking them. You can always try cranking...

    Photography Chat

    Shortest version I can give you lol: DSLR - going extinct. Don't waste your time or money unless you find a great deal on some used stuff with lenses, etc. Point and shoot - Great foot in the door, super easy to use, capable of 4k, small and compact. Not the fastest auto focus. Mirrorless -...

    Photography Chat

    Sony makes great cameras! I was seriously considering one before I pulled the trigger on my Canon R8, but yeah, Sony's menu is TERRIBLE lol. Full auto's always great, but aperture and shutter priority modes are probably what you want to get real comfy with considering the type of stuff you're...

    Back To Back To Cali Cali (JV/Cougar Buttes/Big Bear) April 6th'ish

    Some of you may know me, some may not. I'm shooting to be down in Hesperia on April 6th to pick up some tires and have them mounted and I'm on zero schedule and no rush to head back home to Montana. I'll probably arrive way earlier then necessary and I wouldn't mind sticking around that area...

    33's vs 35's is the performance really that much better?

    I've never heard any man say they wouldn't want an extra 2" if they had the choice

    Lifting the ranger

    Crank the fuck out of them and air down 😂 I'm not sure what the fx4 was, never was a big Ford guy, but if it's 2wd, MaxTrac makes a pretty affordable spindle that should get you about 3" of lift give or take. Plenty of used ones out there too. Torsion key lifts aren't terrible, torsion bars...

    Leduc swap meet

    I've actually, believe it or not, never been to a single swap meet in the 16 years I've been into desert trucks. Definitely thinking about fenders and lights for the Chevy though. I've always heard that glass companies and many others bring a lot of stuff out. Any way of knowing who will be out...

    What to pack? Tips-tricks

    I'm super minimalistic, so I tend to not pack very much. But... a few tips and tricks I've learned over the years that are tried and true in my book and worked for me across the country multiple times are as follows... A solid duffel bag for fresh clothes, layers, phone chargers, power bank...
