    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...

    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...

    Truck Grille Wall Art

    I saw this sad sack of Dentside F150 at the junkyard and thought I could at least do something with the grille & headlight buckets. (funny, I only noticed today it had a Bumpside bed on it!) I used scrap wood to mount it, and hacked out some headlight mounting buckets. I bought some cheap...

    Fun Cyber Truck Review

    I thought this was a fun look at the Cyber Truck. I'm not a huge EV guy, but the innovation and thought put into it is pretty cool. If nothing else, it may give the Big 3 ideas for their own lineup. 11.0 @ 119mph and it can get close to the same number at 30% battery is pretty impressive. The...

    The Baja Bug Movie

    I haven't had a chance to watch the whole thing...but it looks pretty good if you're into bugs/dune buggies/Vintage Baja 1000. Listening to the old timers tell their stories is amazing!

    Evan Smith Discusses S650 Dual Throttle Body & Dyno Stock Dark Horse

    I thought this was interesting. Maybe this is old news, but the dual throttle body on the S650 is to house the carbon traps now required. He talks about why at the 6:30 mark. They felt the dyno pulls accurately support the 500hp crank rating. Their explanations seem reasonable to me.

    Vigilante Built: '75 Jeep Cherokee S with 6.4/TR6060/Atlas TC

    I know this thing is MEGA bucks and more of a work of art than an actual vehicle...but man is it beautiful to look at!! The modern 6.4 Hemi attached to 4wd TR6060 and atlas transfer case is icing on the cake. Jeep Cherokee 1975 Classic Full Size Jeep Inventory Parts — Vigilante4x4

    Isle of Man On Board Footage, new perspective

    I can't imagine going flat out like this on small European roads!! This camera angle really gives some perspective on the speeds they travel. Always crazy when the speed of the bike out paces the speed of the camera to capture it!

    2" Leveled Maverick Tremor

    Saw this and thought it looked kinda cool with a 2" level. Although...255/75/17's Yoko MT's are going to kill the MPG's...which is the whole purpose for having a car-truck.

    Factory Five Long Travel Pre-Runner Kit xt1 (Based on current F150)

    Pretty cool! Interesting to see them branch out in this direction. Always thought it would be cool to daily a long travel truck. Although...my trucks never see more then wet grass...so it'd be a waste on me. XT-1 Pre-Runner Truck - Factory Five Racing XT1 Outdoor Gallery - Factory Five Racing

    2024 Ranger to have Optional 2.7

    Interesting... The new '24 Ranger will have optional 2.7 V6, 310hp/400ft-lbs.(XLT/Lariat trims) I know a lot of guys don't like the looks...but as hard as the tuned 2.7 F150's run...the same combo in a smaller package could be fairly quick. https://www.ford.com/trucks/ranger/2024/

    Eruption Green Retro Bronco Build

    This might be old news...but I liked the look of this Eruption Green retro build. Although as stated in this thread... https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/eruption-green-retro-bronco-build-%F0%9F%A4%A9.34215/ The retro might be more of a Eddie Bauer direction than 1st gen. I believe it is on...

    Copart Find: Robert Downey Jr's SpeedKore '70 Mustang

    Not sure if this has already been posted...but cruising Copart I found this. Not sure if RD Jr still owns it...I would assume if he crashed it, it would have made the news. On a positive note...at least someone drove it 1100 miles? Robert Downey Jr.’s Custom 1970 Ford Mustang Boss Debuts at...

    2023 Tremor gets the V8

    Probably old news...but the you can now get the Tremor with the 5.0! Unfortunately for guys looking for a more budget truck...the 400A trim has been dropped. Looks like you can't get into a Tremor for less than $60-65K... Does the 2023 Ford F-150 Tremor Have a V8 Engine?

    $285K Bumpside F250? Velocity Signature Series

    Man...I'd love to have the coin to buy one of these and daily it...I'm sure for an additional fee they'd even make it manual trans. https://www.velocityrestorations.com/velocity-signature-series-f250/?mc_cid=f758142d9b&mc_eid=6e8fab47e3

    Retro Wheels...

    Been watching to see what people do for retro wheels and saw these... Vision Turbines. Saw a bunch of turbines back in the day on the bigger Bronco's But what I really would like to see are traditional "slot mags". Lots of history there(Rod Hall's Baja Bronco comes to mind) I'm a little...

    Body Swapped '68 Charger Dirt Track Car

    Saw this on Dylan McCool's channel...I know some guys will balk at the thought of slamming a '68 Charger body on top of an '02 Town Car... But that's what happened! I'd much rather see this thing still slinging rocks than return to the earth naturally, or via the crusher. I had a had a 5sp...

    Jeep Magneto, Manual Trans EV Concept

    Maybe this is old news, but I found it interesting. My biggest complaint with EV's is they lack engagement. The Jeep Magneto concept integrates an electric motor in a way that "feels" more like ICE. I haven't see that done before. I understand that Jeep brings out a BUNCH of cool stuff for the...

    Leave it to the Aussies! Turnkey V8 Ranger Raptors

    Man, this looks like a good time!! Supposedly they made it fit without cutting/welding & spent the time to sort out the CAN bus connections so everything works like factory stock. I'm sure they'll cost HUGE money...but maybe they'll offer it in "kit form" at some point in the future?

    Vid of White Painted Steel Wheels on Base 2DR

    I thought this was interesting... A guy is hitting his new 2DR with white paint to give it a more "retro" appearance. I'm not sure if I could do it to a brand new truck...but the base rigs are pretty bland...so I guess its not surprising that a set of tires and couple cans of Kyrlon can change...

    Frank Kelly - Fast, Sidways and Mental #3

    I can't remember if this has already been posted...But Frank Kelly has to be my favorite rally driver to watch!! As the title of their vid says "Fast, sideways & mental"...100%!!! Listen around the 1:53 mark, after a crazy WOT blast, for his co-driver to say "f**k me Kelly"...and start...
