Because of that you guys wont get the amarok or am i wrong? Also i never get why people buy one in the first place its nearly as big as a dodge ram and you can get rams cheaper here even as the top trim levels
Well heres something strangely relevant. I have never, ever, seen a mini truck class at any sled pull event I've been to. I've got no idea what weight class that is, that sled is tiny.
The new Rangers are still significantly smaller than our current F150s. The F-150 is 7.2" (18cm) wider and up to 39" (99cm) longer. Our average F-150 (Super Cab/6.5' bed or Crew Cab/5.5' bed) is still 21" (53cm) longer. The regular cab short bed F-150 is 2" shorter but, that's not really a fair comparison since you can't get the short bed regular cab combo on the Ranger. In fact, the Ranger only has one wheel base and one length. The extra cab space comes out of the bed.
Right then guys, gals and nonbinary pals Dashcams. Recommendations. Go. Preferably with front and rear view plus battery, not essential. See what ya come up with.
Had the drivepro 200 before. Was great, though looks like my cheapest option for twin cameras and decent quality may be a pair of them
Front and rear view as in one singular device that records out of the windshield and back into the passenger compartment, or a setup that comes with a separate small camera to aim out of the rear window? I wouldn't want to record what goes on in the cabin of my car, and I don't really understand why anyone would want to. Audio+video out of the windshield is ridiculously incriminating enough as it is. I'd like to have a separate camera looking out of the rear window, but it adds too much cost and complexity to the setup to justify.
Perhaps getting the cheapest thing to stick in the rear window might make sense. For £32 (ish) its 1080p and more than adequate in terms of quality, if someone rear ends you it will certainly pick up on that. http://www.techmoan.com/blog/2013/12/16/g1w-the-cheapest-dash-cam-thats-worth-buying.html Then just leave it rolling, if someone hits you just remember to get the files off it asap (since you won't be able to get to the button). The bigger concern I guess is the impracticality of removing it from the rear of the car when parked. In which case the smallest and most discrete camera might make sense. Especially one that you could desolder the camera off and put it on longer cables to have the camera module pointing out the back an the recording box elsewhere. --- Post updated --- Taxi drivers
You drive a subi with a rear deck right? Because I don't think this setup would work with a hatch back. An A118 style camera with a battery in front with a Mobius or a Mini 0805 in the rear. The K1S appears to be your best cheap option for a true dual-channel system. DashcamTalk is also helpful
That's exactly the thing, though. Pickups like that - and I do mean "actually S10-sized", not the large-midsized monstrosities that descended from the ones that were actually S10-sized - used to be designed and built in America. Now there's only two sizes of pickup, full-sized and almost-full-sized, and... somehow it has something to do with a tariff on countries that didn't have a monopoly on small pickup production? Huh? The globalization of the auto industry has not been the wonderful thing it was supposed to be.
I fully agree. The "global car" is complete and utter bullshit. The only thing it's done so far is kill any and all creativity and risk taking the automotive industry had in the late 90's and before. Remember the Plymouth Prowler? The Autozam? Hell, even the original Golf GTI to an extent. These were made because of regionalization in the auto industry. Manufactures took risks and innovated (I used innovated loosely because... well... Prowler) for their specific region. The Japanese got kei cars. The Americans got body-on-frame sedans and SUV's. The Europeans got quirky design from the French, reliability from the Germans, passion from the British, soul from the Italians, tank-like build quality from the Swedish. It's all gone now. Every single bit of it is gone. We're all destined, one day, to wind up in silver, shapeless blobs with no soul, no passion, no care, built by robots to be used as appliances, then thrown away like yesterday's garbage.
Anyone want to buy my friend's truck? (Some slight rice) (Quoted from his Facebook ad) 1999 3/4 ton 4x4 ECSB Dodge, Originally a V10 / 5 speed manual, now a diesel 6 speed. Engine is a 94 12 valve, pulled from a rolled truck. New front ball joints, tie rod and swaybar ends, new rad, new HX35 turbo, new intercooler, new clutch, new-ish tires, 4 inch lift, lots of other new parts and aftermarket stuff, all in the last 30,000 miles. 281,000 miles, $18,500
Yeah, he isn't exactly "tasteful" Nor did he really do any of the work on it, besides the stupid stuff.
I'd be interested... If it were stock, has 100,000 less miles, and were still a V10. A clean V10 is hard to find, I hate it when people Cummins swap them. No, you know what, NO. You don't Cummins swap a V10. The V10, in retrospect, is a better motor than the 12-valve Cummins. It produces more horsepower stock, more torque stock, and there's an aftermarket for them. Are they as easy to modify? No, they aren't, but it's more satisfying. What is it with Mopar guys and this undying and annoying lust to "Cummins swap everything, yo"? They'd put a 5.9L Cummins in their goddamn food blender if they could figure out a way.
Not trying to be that guy, but having owned both a 12 Valve truck and a V10 truck, both in 2wd duallys, the V10 really can't compete with the Cummins. I like the V10 and would happily own another, but saying the two engines are competitive with each other just isnt true.
Now you know what it feels like when all these idiots LS swap GTR's and RX7's. What a f****** waste, the V8 is heavier, sounds terrible and makes people cringe when they look under the hood/bonnet.
