    Had One for a Rental

    I’m sort of surprised Ford hasn’t released something like this already. Most of the other car companies have an “off-roady” version of their crossover SUVs and they seem to be selling well. Even if they’re just used for a scary trip to WholeFoods or some shit…

    Had One for a Rental

    Had this for a rental for a week & a half. It was a low end rental spec Big Bend edition. It actually wasn’t bad. The 1.5eco was semi- adequate, but I’d definitely opt for a 2.0 if I had to own one. The only benefit of the 1.5 is the gauge reported 30mpg(I didn’t hand calculate it) and that was...

    One of the Better Styled New Broncos I've Seen

    I’ve always wished US Mags would release the U101 slots in late model friendly offsets…but nothing yet. This guy had custom wheels made by Augment Wheel Company to complete his Bill Stroppe “Baja Bronco” tribute, but I’m sure they were pricey!

    Anyone do a Beater Build...something a little Rougher than "patina"?

    If you go turbo, Marty at Mo's Speed Shop knows Panther tuning if you don't move to a stand alone system. I was surprised simple mods to my buddies '07 Town car; P71 front swaybar, factory 21mm rear bar, home ported upper plenum & P71 intake(that requires a tune) actually feels pretty good...

    2025 RAM 1500 | MotorWeek Road Test

    I will agree that it could be strong competition for the current regular Raptor just based on price and consumers typical use of trucks like this.

    2025 RAM 1500 | MotorWeek Road Test

    You'll notice one thing missing from that video that was prominently displayed in all things TRX related...the engine soundtrack. I totally get the turbo I6 has many advantages that outweigh engine sound. But it kind of reminds me of super foods that taste bad...I eat them because my mind can...

    Anyone do a Beater Build...something a little Rougher than "patina"?

    A friend of mine has super clean stuff and is tired of being worried about it, so he's building a rough around the edges '67 Bel Air with a leftover BBC and will beat it like a rented mule! There are times when I'm worried about where I'm parking, did I clean it good enough...that this sounds...

    Are G-Body Cars extinct?

    This was a badass G-body a guy was building on here...not sure what happened to it? I bought a 1 of 1 car, be jealous

    Bought a Dark Horse with the Ford Performance Whipple Kit

    Was this a special order that someone backed out on and you picked up? I thought Green Bordered window stickers indicated a customer special order? What do you think of the Recaro's? I hate them in my wife's Focus RS...and I'm not a big guy.

    Deadpool & Wolverine Red Band Trailer

    I'll definitely watch it! Probably a good thing Hugh did it now...at 55, I imagine the ability to achieve the Wolverine bod is fast coming to a close.

    Vintage Boss 302 Print Ad

    True! Hell it even states right in the ad "You get 290 hp at 6000 easy revs. And it can be tuned for more."

    Vintage Boss 302 Print Ad

    Buddy lent me a stack of vintage Hot Rod mags and I thought this '69 Boss 302 ad was pretty cool. What they used to advertise...valve size, optional gear ratios...now its "how big is the screen" or "automatic butt wiper" I like my late model stuff, but this is just neat to see what guys were...

    March Cooks Garage Cars & Coffee!!!

    Nope, the BBR guy is the previous owner of the truck, but he does have a BBF fox body. I think the previous owner is friends with the current owner.

    March Cooks Garage Cars & Coffee!!!

    Too funny!! I watched this truck get built from a stock abandoned CL find...to much of how it looks now on the BangShift forums. 1973 F-250 - Turbo BBF - It's off to a new home! - The BangShift.com Forums He sold it and looks like the new owner has continued the build, looks...
