    4WD vs AWD, what's the difference?

    As the title states, what is the difference between 4WD and AWD? I have a Bronco and my son asked me that same question. He saw that the settings had both 4WD and AWD. I told him I didn't know, but would find out. So who's got the best explanation for this question?

    Car Painters, I Need Your Expertise

    I've acquired a couple of projects and I'm thinking of handling the paint myself. I've dabbled in body work many years ago, but I never had a decent place to paint. I now have a large shop and the ability to section off a part of it for a paint booth. I just need some help finding the right...

    Thought I'd start a thread about diving, since it's one of my favorite hobbies. I'll start by posting this video of a baby drum fish. If anyone has pics, video or favorite dive spots, post 'em up. Also would love to hear dive stories.

    Dually tires for winter and summer

    Thought about posting in the Discount Tire, but thought I might get better response here. Mods, move if you see fit. I've got my 2017 F-450 with the terrible (for winter) highway tires on it. After getting stuck on my driveway (it's about 1/8 mile long) I've had enough. Gonna replace the...

    Mattress time!

    The wife has got a wild hair that we need a new mattress. Currently, we have a sleep number bed. It's about 18 years old and I've had to replace the bladders once. Also had to replace the pump. Not really impressed, but it is comfortable. It has developed a "ridge" down the middle, hence the...

    Buffing/waxing graphics

    So, we've got this new Bronco Wildtrak and it has some graphics on the hood and side. Pretty sure they're not paint. So, how do I deal with these when buffing and waxing? Don't touch them? Light coat? What's the right way to deal with these? Your government is lying to you

    Riding Mowers

    Ok, I know there was a lawnmower thread not too long ago, but this is for riding mowers. I'll need to get one in the next month or so, and was wondering what opinions people had. Zero turn? Lawn tractor? Brand? I've heard good things about John Deere and Toro. Lawn will be about 1/2 acre, so...

    Sync 4 and Android Auto

    I have a 2017 F-450 with Sync 3. I run Android Auto on that because Sync 3's voice command is trash. Works beautifully (most of the time). I just push the voice button on the steering wheel and say "navigate to..." and it maps me out a route. It actually uses the phones voice command system and...

    So, driving yesterday and was having a problem with the heat in the car. Sometimes heat, sometimes cold air. When I came to a stop, it was running rough. At this point there were no CEL or anything. Get closer to home and an engine overheat message pops up. Then a CEL. Pull over and checked...

    Whole Home Generator, give me your 2 cents worth.

    The question is not whether to get one or not, It's more of a comparison study and which way to go. I had a 13kw on our last home that I installed, in the dark, during a power outage that lasted 2 weeks. Fast forward to the new house. We built this house and have been in it for a year now. Have...

    Looking for a vacation spot that is actually open. We normally go to Grand Cayman, but they are dragging their feet and doesn't look like we'll get down there this year. The wife was looking at different places and came across an all inclusive in DR and it looks pretty nice. Anyone have...

    Vehicle Brand of the Worst Drivers

    Just a little exercise in observation. What brand and/or model of vehicle do the worst Drivers drive? For example, I find that people that drive a Toyota Prius are the most brain dead, clueless idiots on the road. Of course I'm generalizing, but you get the idea. So, what's your take? ****...
