    Flashlights

    When Surefire came to market with CR123 which at the time were very much proprietary, the same arguments surfaced. Not withstanding that, battery technology moves on. CR123 has not yet reached "C and D" cell alkaline status, largely due to the fact that the chemistry is still viable. That said...

    Flashlights

    I was an early adopter of Surefire, so early they were marked "Laser Products" I rode the Surefire train for many years. They were the premier light on the market, best machining, best warranty, best output, the Cadillac of lights no doubt. Then they went to sleep at the wheel, refusing to...

    Cummins R2.8 in California

    EGR, Def, particulate filters, and all the assorted sensory receptors and computers associated with them are all part of the Tier IV emissions standards and absolutely,accross the board unilaterally suck nuts. No reasonable person would willfully install that bullshit in a vehicle it wasn't...

    Cummins R2.8 in California

    It will still have to pass emissions which it won't do without all of the Tier IV horse shit, and computers to control it.

    Cummins R2.8 in California

    I see, yes. The problem OP is experiencing is compliance with State government imposed environmental regulations. His challenge is not mechanical.

    OB Approved Overland Safety: Fire Extinguishers

    40 miles from nowhere I'm going to do everything I can to put one out. In civilization, the only reason I need a fire extinguisher is to beat you unconscious with it for trying to put it out. I've had a half burned vehicle repaired by the insurance company before, and we're not putting the...

    PSA for those who may not know...Tow balls are NOT recovery points!

    Although I have used a 2" ball as a recovery point using chain, I have also seen a 2 5/16" gooseneck ball sheared at the shank and sling shot through the back glass and out the front glass on a pickup with enough velocity that it just punched a clean hole through both pieces of glass using a 2"...

    Cummins R2.8 in California

    Nope, I pointed out that the political climate in CA is responsible for his plight, then subsequently poked fun at it. I probably should not have done that on this forum. There however was no "hate" involved, that part is just silly.

    Cummins R2.8 in California

    You should give the OP some help then, as that is what he is looking for. To be clear you have deezil swapped or gas swapped, as my understanding is one is verbotten and the other not so much.

    To Chainsaw or not to Chainsaw, that is the question

    Chain stretch can mean a number of things but "need a new saw" generally isn't one of them. Chain too tight is #1 culprit, bad or inadequate lube, getting it in the dirt will wear out the drive gear which acts like a stretched chain and then the wear on the gear actually stretches the chain...

    Stew.

    It is virtually impossible to screw up stew. Until you start adding "seasonings" without reading labels. Salt, salt, salt, salt, salt, dried red and black pepper, salt, salt, salt, salt, dehydrated garlic, salt, salt, salt, MSG, salt, salt, salt And then you figure it probably needs some salt.

    Need help selecting new truck

    He won't find one of those in budget. But he will be able to find a late model 2500 with gobs of room, plenty of power, lots of aftermarket support and pretty darned capable in stock condition that won't be overloaded as all get out when it gets full. A brand new Tradesman is 37-39k with...

    Running out of toilet paper

    LOL, I wouldn't have expected this thread to be the one that gets people arguing. Even if I don't have TP, I always have a knife, and have used it more than once to harvest pieces of clothing in time of need. As for discrete distribution of waste. It's 2019 modern leftist culture has taught...
