Then we can agree to disagree. Again, I'm referring to small gas engines. I'm sure your decades of tearing down and inspecting these factory turbo small gas engines will probably eclipse mine. As I said before, maybe I just got engines customers abused but, I have seen quite a few as well as...

You must have missed I said gas not diesel. I also was not aware the OP wanted opinions on diesel. Your entitled to your opinion. I still remain in the industry and still get to see reports from a number of car lines. It gets down to physics and build quality. Looking at the blowby from two...

I'll chime in here. Any forced induction will remove life span. Right now its trendy to produce small turbo engines. Their great for highway as long as you don't mod the vehicle. That mean's bigger tires, more weight. If you do, you kill the power band. I've worked this industry since the late...

Handhelds don't work well in my group. We end up too spaced out. You can spend all your money on a 50 watt then kill it with a poor antenna choice. My record with my 15 watt midland is a bit over 100 miles line of sight. We could just hear each other. Antenna selection is made based on how you...

Great video. Close caption then auto translate in settings.

It does look like someone pulled a rear suspension out of a front wheel drive car. The trailing arm design looks very old. Easy pre 90's and possibly pre 80's. I say that because of the stamped arms and the way the lower spring buckets sit. I would be very surprised if it was newer. Bushing...

Still 3-4 years out. Supposably there will be a series hybrid. Because its a gas motor, its possible we can see it. For me to own a hybrid it must be a series. The pictures I've seen are too nice for me to take off road and no projection on price.

Remember, just because they fit doesn't mean they wont rub. In my group, I have several 4runners and Tacoma's. All but me run 33's and none of them do anything hard core. All but one have custom upper arms with the tire moved forward about half an inch and all are lifted 1.5-2 inch. All of them...

When your choosing tires, you need to consider a few things. 1. Tire diameter will effect not just obstacle clearance but gear ratio, braking ability, fender clearance and component stress. 2. Tire width. floatation on soft ground, rolling resistance (fuel milage) and again fender clearance...

I'm sorry for your loss but, is it in a better place?

In the 70's and 80's that was a popular thing to do on the desert motorcycle race areas. They would also string wire between Joshua trees. Barstow to Vegas was a big one for that. We use to call them Eco Terrorists. It was bad enough that we had people patrolling the routes all night before a race.

If i could afford it, they would be one of my first mod's. I've known several people running them and talked to a guy a few months ago with a set on his new Bronco. Beside cost, the biggest hurtle is fitting them to your axle. Today there are several companies making them for specific vehicles...

welcome

Here's their address NO.555, Checheng Road, National Economic & Technological Development Zone, ChengDu 610100 China. China made doesn't mean bad product but, almost all of the reviews I read were about factory replacement shocks/struts. All of those were poor reviews, mostly noise related. I...

And then sleeping on the ground under a tarp turned into a camper. The best list is one you make yourself. Those of use who go more remote will have a bigger must have then others. Having 100000 pounds of tools is useless if you don't know how to work on your vehicle. Knowing your limits is...

On a more serious note. I've never "named" any of my camping. I camp....away from people unless I cant. Boondocking? I thought it was an RV thing. Dispersed is something I see on maps. Then there's camp grounds, private and primitive. IDK...its just camping to me.

Boondocking at its best Come on Grub...you didn't post this first? We all know you were thinking this when you made the thread.

Missed this one. Totally false. You need to not read social media. 100 internet BS. The vehicle involved was "1" Prius. It wasn't a stuck throttle it was a second floor mat on top of the factory one. It was a dealer loaner car where the person who brought it back to them said the throttle was...

I wont get into a debate over any of this. I lived this and unless you did too, all you have is either a couple of example's that happened to you or what you read on social media. NO manufacture is without fault. I hate to say this but, Toyota recalled the frames and even bought vehicles back...

I saw in your video, some of the LED lights gave you computer issues. LED lights back feed a few volts. When you turn on your headlights, power flows back down the stoplight circuit and the computer thinks your stopping but doesn't see the stoplight switch. This confuses the computers and...
