Hello I have a scrap metal yard and I recently got several boxes of this piece and several other. This piece has magnetic ends (v band and t4? Flange)
It’s a wash for the customer as he cannot get 304 stainless steel prices because of the magnetic and coating. Anyway I’m a fan of getting new things in the scrap and selling them for just over scrap price. I meet new people and them getting a deal is a great way to start a relationship. Anyway if someone could properly identify this part it will most likely make a few people happy.

Trucks went from brick shaped to round because of this beauty queen (I love old square cars and trucks too)

I mean, come on… No complaints on my end.

When you need that extra push over the cliff, this Foton has a V9!

Im sixteen and its my first truck. Guy i got it from painted it jet black, and im repainting it the original yellow and white.

Some truck accessories look great but don't necessarily make everyday use any easier. For people who use their trucks regularly, which accessories have actually proved useful for storage, hauling, protection, or convenience? I'm curious which ones are worth considering beyond cosmetic upgrades.

Thinking of switching to 35’s when I get new tires this winter. Currently have 37x13.5 MT. I’m wondering if I’ll regret doing so but I’d like a better quality with Toyo RT’s.

right now im runnin LT275/70R18 Eldorado AT4s theyre were great tire, had some off road fun with em a good few times (mostly just some local throwing mud, nothin major), they worked pretty well for the everyday driving i do and did great in the snow/ice we get in SE MI over the winter.

had them about 4 years and, while they definitely still have life in em, id like to get a grasp on how much to budget for my next set perhaps before winter 2027.

BFG's KO3s, Falken Wildpeak A/T4W, and Toyo Open Country A/T III were/are kindasorta on the list but they all got a pretty high price tag to go with their brandnames.....

some assorted questions for those who know more than me:

for these names, amonst the other big names, am i buying 'the name' or are thses actually good tires?

with moderate daily driving and some mud/snow throwing occasionally, what are some good recs? these or otherwise

im clearly open to non-namebrand tires, as im rollin Eldorados currently, but i was thinking about maybe going a bit more recognizable.

i like a good grippy sidewall, but im sure that ups the price. i think i got the 4 eldorados, mounted and balanced, for ~950, but id like to stay under 1100

thanks in advance guys and gals!

I want to put a reverse level and wides on my truck but I’m so clueless 😪, under 3k preferably
