Thanks! Made my day! Nasty engine!

Maybe a 4.2 L, supercharged V8 like the XJR on this video I took of an XJR I owned. Damn, I miss that car. Too bad it didn't come with a real LSD but electronic traction control that would kill power if you stomped in.

You are cruel! I was hoping this was video of the engine running and testing it. Nope. Just a teasing picture. That's pure evil!

Congrats. Be aware than in a few years your remote start feature will disappear and to your truck will light up like a Christmas tree. If you want to keep that feature working A. drive every day B. connect a battery tender. Otherwise you will be buying new batteries in 2-3 years.

I used to own a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic 5.7, which I traded for a '21 GMC Sierra AT4 diesel. That Ram would never ever, give more than 18.5MPG highway. My combined MPG was 17MPG and I drove it like a granny. On the other hand the Sierra Duramax would always give me 22mpg combined with spirited...

I live in a place where repair shops are few and far in between. Hybrids can last a long time, no doubt, until they give problems and I'm stuck paying Gucci money to the only place that can repair it, the local Jeep dealership. Full electric seems atractive but range in the issue. Charging times...

Don't care about hybrid (longevity concerns) or the 2.0 four. My first choice would be the Hurricane inline 6 even if slightly detuned. Or the 5.7 Hemi which would be glorious.

But their Twinkies will still be fresh!

I wish I got 15.5 MPG. On my JTR I’m lucky if I break over 15MPG driving around here. Highway is close to 19. But current average is 14.7 with 35” tires.

The Teraflex came with bump stops but obviously I had installed the 35 tires when it was stock and before the level. Now I have no rub. But yeah, you are correct.

What was it 25 cents per gallon? I would love to have a retro fuel station on my property to gas up our off road vehicles (mini moto, UTV, ATV) and tractor.

35s will rub with any slight articulation. That is why I did a leveling kit and rear 3/4" spacers. Since I have a metal bumper and a heavy winch, I added an extra .5" spacer in the front for a total of 2". I am still running 35s. Just remember that any lift will change geometry. Meaning that you...

There are several RV parks coming up on Google. Although these are not in the park they are right by it.

I think my Hypermiler Control Module is broken as I'm only getting 14.7 ave. 😒

After a long day he can go north on 67 and find a place to eat in Marfa. I imagine there are still a few motels there to stay if desired. There used to be a really good restaurant called Mayas.

I guess it is still the same. Yeah, it's so bad it'll loosen up your teeth fillings. I remember the first time on it I wanted to turn back many times but I didn't know if it would be longer to return than staying on it.

Been there many times. I used to patrol that area. If you enter through the Hwy. 118 entrance you can take the Old Maverick road that will take you to Santa Elena Canyon. Be ready for intense washboard roads. That same road eventually turns into Ross Maxwell road and it takes you to Castolon...

Most people do a leveling kit and tires. If your truck came without max tow, your gears are 3.73, meaning that 33" tires is a big as want to go. For a 1.5" leveling kit you may want an ajustable track bar if you are not OK with the axle shifting to one side. You can dial back caster by getting...

Gas mileage is about the same maybe 1mpg less. You are not going to notice crazy power but it is definitely snappier and it isn't hunting gears like before going up a hill. On some hills around here, it climbed them on 4th not I can do it on 5th and still be able to gain speed. I have noticed...

That happened to me too in January. I foolishly stopped going uphill on our driveway and when I attempted to drive up it couldn't, so I backed down but instead it slid towards a slope on our land. It slept down there and the next morning I tore up that slope. You can still see the marks. We woke...
