  1. We Bet F-150 Lightning's Range Is under 100 Miles when Towing at the Max Ford promises EPA ratings of 230 and 300 miles, but towing and hauling near the claimed 10,000-pound maximum is going to seriously cut into those figures. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/amp36481590/ford-f150-lightning-range-towing/ I’m on several RV boards and FB RV groups and the Lightning is getting o lots of comments. I think C&D hit it right on the head. Between the mileage and dealing with charging (Can you imagine trying to quick charge while towing a boat or RV? What are you gonna do, unhook and move to a charger , then go hook back up?) I don’t think these 1gens will be comparable to a ICE truck. I do think they will be great for around the town service/delivery type applications where you can have a bunch of Level 2 chargers back in the parking lots of the shop but towing out on the road, that’s a nope for me.

    The preferred term is hero support.
  3. A couple of more for when you want to make a statement.
  4. The 5000 is the one I’m looking at. Where did you mount the valve stems? I don’t think I’m gonna get the onboard air but am about to buy a Viair 12v compressor for the truck and RV. I have a camper shell and keep an action packer tote with some tools, jumper cables, tow strap, etc that I can put the compressor inside for storage.
  5. She had to have been an 11 or MIA is the biggest asshole in the word for not extracting the groom from that before it even started
  6. I killed a lot of mallards and wood ducks wearing this bad boy and a pair of Hodgeman Wadewell waders in the floodwaters of the Neches river back in the mid to late '80s. Unfortunately, I don't have a pic of the matching Jones style hat my ninth grade girlfriend bought for me. I think that hat is still on a rack in the garage.
  7. Like you wouldn't take a selfie stick up the ass if she was the one holding it.
  8. Man, I thought this was a Surly 1% crowd that was Sitka or KUIU prostaff. I haz a sad.
  9. Outboard probably has a prop guard or it could be a jet. Also, the one with the outboard was more a tender for the other boats to help position them and pull them out of the backwash.
  10. Anybody put a set of air bags on their truck? Truck cap, kayaks on top, cooler, generator, fuel and other shit in the bed of the truck and a 1K lb tongue weight trailer has the ass of my Ram sitting down a bit. Co-worker recommends Air Lift, any other recommendations?
  11. Not since he was clinging to the tailcoat of Adam Carolla on the Man Show
  12. Used truck prices are stupid right not. Did a quick look on my daughter's (nopics) 2012 Tacoma Double Cab 4x4. My wife worked for GST at the time and could order vehicles below dealer cost. MSRP was $32,463, Dealer cost was $30,211 and our cost was $28745 + TTL. It's in great shape, she only has 55K miles on it and KBB is showing $26.9K as trade in. That's crazy.
  13. That sucks. I never have paid too much attention to the issue of low water dams but for some reason I clicked on this video yesterday and it really demonstrates the problems. The second video is a special boat designed to help rescues at low water dams
  14. And a permethrin wash on your socks and long pants will take care of ticks.
  15. Messed that up. Switch current rating > max speaker current.
  16. You want a single pole, double throw switch. Either a two position so it would select either function or a 3 position that the center would be off. Make sure the current rating is less than that of the sound bar. https://www.miwv.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/what-is-an-spdt-switch.jpg
  17. Yeah with a 12V TM, I would just wired directly to the battery.
  18. There is a ton of stuff online for reference on wiring a boat. Are you going to shit can everything on the boat and start from scratch? How big of an engine and are the gauges specific to the outboard? Do you need/want a new switch panel on the console? For a Tracker I would expect you would have 1 battery for engine and starting and 1 or two batteries for the trolling motor. The diagram below is pretty typical for a single start and a separate house battery. With the switch, you can use the house battery to start the boat if the start battery dies. This is pretty much how my boat is set up except I have an additional charging circuit to charge the house battery from the engine. If your engine doesn’t have a separate circuit you can add an automatic charging relay that energizes when the first battery is charged and allows the house battery to be charged. It would be a little different if you are adding a trolling motor batteries to the system. I generally put trolling batteries on their own circuit but you can use an ACR to charge them too. Post up more details of what you want to do and we can guide you pretty well.
  19. Can you upload it from the ipad to dropbox, google drive, etc and then back down to the PC? I do this all the time for videos and pictures off my phone or ipad.
  20. I'll bet NowThis knew what a thick log in his lower colon felt like.
  21. It’s like the No 2 topic RVer’s talk about.
  22. Home Depot has 21’ lifts that are less than 36” wide. Need to protect your floors for sure but you should be able to get one through the front door.
