Why do we need AI slop for this? Just post your photos here and we can roast your build. The AI is like that winch; a replacement for the friends you don't have.

You ask too much of us

Any rub marks on the wheel, tire, fender liner, or control arm on either side? Sounds like something might not be clearing

Retro wheels: Classy, indicates taste and sophistication, will never go out of style. Whatever was one there: If one hundred truck stop novelty knives were pressed into a wheel shape.

This Is The Way

All over thanks to being a military kid.

Yeah, I’m fine with the EPA and the clean Air Act. I sort of enjoy air that isn’t crunchy and water that doesn’t catch fire. People opposed to these things tend to be from places with low industrial density, low population density, or are too young to remember how toxic and polluted our...

Hey, Taiwan makes some really good stuff. They are a world leader in chip manufacturing (which is one of the big reasons China wants to take them over) but also with cast and forged components. A number of high quality tools are made there for big brands like Hilti. Some of the best small...

I do, and that’s why my Gladiator will be my last modern car. Every week I’m online shopping for a low-mileage gem that’s 30 years old at a minimum. Your truck does the same things, reports your location, telemetrics, even your phone’s contacts to Jeep so it can be packaged and sold.

Britta will filter out particulate, but I doubt it would handle chemicals leeching from the vinyl into the water. Some of the stuff used to make vinyl is pretty nasty, not all PVC products are made to be in contact with food or water. It’s up to you, but I urge caution and maybe doing some...

No one is breaking the laws of physics, internal combustion engines are horribly inefficient - that extra power is just from doing a better job converting chemical energy into mechanical movement.

Except that’s still lower torque than both the Ranger 4cyl and my 3.0 oil burner You mean the #2 best selling truck after Ford’s bullshit of combining all F-series trucks into one report to pump their numbers? The same one that’s sold more than double the next closest midsize truck model? The...

Uh, might want to check your math. Ford Ranger 405 bhp 430 lb-ft 5.7 V8 as it sits in the Ram 1500: 395 bhp 410 lb-ft It’s been a while since school, but I’m pretty sure the alligator says 405>395 and 430>410

200# sitting right over the front axle sure makes a big difference in handling, stopping, and off road performance. A truck with 200# less weight hanging out in front sure handles differently over rough terrain.

Sway bar links are my usual suspect, could also be a heat shield that needs to be persuaded away from a bolt or other part

I’m fine without a V8. Demanding a V8 is putting the cart before the horse, it’s jumping to an old solution without defining the problem first. What is the problem someone is trying to solve? More horsepower? More torque? Both? What if there was a better way than a V8, something that gets “V8...

Sounds like you modify all your vehicles to get exactly 19mpg

I like the M.O.R.E. dead pedal because it doesn’t rest on the mat, can be adjusted for longer or shorter drivers, and comes in red for added horsepower

First: Find who has my truck and go full John Wick on them. Start with the cheap quality-of-life stuff: Tazer Mini, dead pedal, power to the bed, tonneau cover, mud flaps, wrap the paint in clear before it gets chipped or scratched, dog cover for the rear seat, rebuild my tool/recovery kit...

Could we make an “I went on AI and have to share the slop it vomited up” section for this kind of stuff? Maybe I’m old, but forums have always been places to talk to people with a common interest; all these copy-paste posts from AIs defeat the purpose. A while ago someone was asking for local...
