All you need is a little rain.

Got 3.5 inches at home on Saturday...plus a 2 hour power outage from the lightning...which is what we think caused one house in our 'hood to catch fire and burn, total loss.

That definitely sucks.

Not until I wear out these "all-terrain" tires. But the H2 is readily equipped.

I am a little worried about height clearance. My current parking garage (at work) clearance is 6'8", so I'm switching to a garage that is 6'10". I can't find the height specs on the FX4, which I think sits a little higher than the standard 4x4. By my best actual measurement, I think I have about an inch to spare in the new parking garage. We'll find out tomorrow morning.

I hear that, I need 7' 4" for my E-350. I dislike working downtown because of it and usually end up walking alot.

I've never parked in a garage in my truck in my life. My Chevrolet had a 6" lift so parking garages were never in my mind. My Dodge is 72" and will only grow.

Ehh, all the better. That's one place I won't be mugged

 

[mclarenross]

Yea, I cant even do some drive throughs. With the lights Im just shy of 9 feet.

Ok you asked for it now...

Here is the big red ugly as my kid puts it.
1989 F-350 7.3 IDI with e4OD tranny 4:10 rear end 2wd
300k plus miles still pulls 18,000 # no problem
Wish it was turbo charged.

My 2002 Cummins 3500 4x4. I call it the Ol War Wagon.

 

[DCortez]

Nice trucks. I prefer white, my wife dislikes white, lol.

 

[Hawghauler]

I have a 1964 Case 430. Does that count?

 

[jordanmills]

Got a 2002 F-250 4x4. Managed to get her stuck on a trail on clear creek last weekend.

I knew it was getting too muddy on the trail for my ATs, so I was on my way out when she slipped off the trail. Oops. At least I don't have to feel as bad as the guy in the little 2wd gasser that tried to go mudding.

 

[Shorts]

^^ holy cow! lol but that guy's seat got wrinkled up pretty good?

I haven't taken mine out yet. Not sure where to go up here that won't get myself shot

2007 1/2 6.7 Cummins Turbo Diesel 100,800 miles on her so far. Banks Ram Air with single Banks Monster exhaust. Just got the Kore 3" suspension with 35" Toyo's M/T. The Toyo's ride great!

Zoom out pic! Wanna see the Kore. How do those Toyos ride?

Here's my diesel... '85 F250. It's old and beat up from doing a lot of work. Just how a truck is supposed to look.

Its been raining over here, as soon as it clears I'll gets some more pics. The Toyo's are the best money I've spent on tires. I had Coopers before just to much noise! I'm going to take it up to Tahoe this weekend I'll get some pics!
