    GAS prices

    Fuel was up 60% in the year preceding the Ukraine fiasco (which was funded in part by American oil imports), considerably more than it has gone up since. I think your angst is misdirected, your Governor didn't do that. Should it be that way? I suppose that is going to be an opinion and as...

    GAS prices

    Oil and gas is traded in futures, prices will fluctuate without a drop ever changing hands. This is how they ended up in a negative squeeze, futures were bought and then because there was more oil inventory than there was a place to deliver it to the prices went negative, basically you were very...

    Shackle Advice

    Pin diameter on a Crosby Lebus 6.5 ton bow shackle is 1.00" and exceeds the straight line pull value of your proposed winch. Or you can just push soft shackles through the recovery point in the event you actually need them and save weight.

    Mods/Lift - Really necessary for my needs????

    Entirely subjective and dependent on the individual. There is no correct answer, simply an aggregate of anecdotal experiences. I don't view modifications or off road equipment packages as "necessary" , I view them as force multipliers. I have no intention of crawling rock for the sake of...

    Where to put the weight? Rear bumper mounts vs Roof Rack

    Weight between the axles is almost always going to be better than weight behind/in front of the axles.

    Tire mounting with hairspray

    Their concern is valid to a degree, that degree being the occurrence of clocking in other applications. In high torque, high traction, low inflation pressure applications clocking occurs with some regularity and is generally addressed in the design of the wheel/bead seat flange by using...

    Wheel spacers

    Everyone knows why not to use them, but if they are your only option (for whatever reason) and you choose to use them : Make sure they are the correct pilot diameter Make sure they are flat and parallel Make sure the mating surfaces are clean and they are correctly torqued Make sure they are...

    Mounting Electronics

    Looks awesome and I generally agree. I am an undocumented engineer with a degree in CAD (cardboard aided design), but some stuff isn't worth the time and effort, others very much is.

    Mounting Electronics

    You run out of real estate quickly inside any vehicle, but Jeeps in particular. I just don't think that most people realize that entire flat panel above the jockey box dismounts when an airbag deploys. Peoples solution is to turn off the passenger airbag which serves the purpose of not turning...

    Mounting Electronics

    I have 67 Designs and Bulletpoint, both work very well the Bulletpoint thumbscrew wrench is a vastly superior tool but also built by the ChiComs. If 67 Designs had a base for new generation Ram trucks I would only be able to speak to their quality, not Bulletpoint. Whatever you choose, don't...

    Smittybilt Gen3 X20 Winch - Any info?

    I have a Gen 2 X2O 12k with synthetic rope on the Gladiator, I have been completely happy with it, it was slightly over $400 and I consider it the best deal in winches. I would not hesitate to buy another one, and given the choice of it over the Gen 3 at twice the money would buy the Gen 2

    How prepared are we really?

    How many extra bodies did they find scattered about when they were looking for Brian Laundrie? 5 or 6? Over most of the planet humans are the apex predator and are unilaterally the greatest threat to other humans. There are waaaaaay more transient people today than ever in my lifetime. Some...
