Good, good, your previous posts suggested that you just sort of let the tire guy have his way with you, glad that you are on top of it.

Some people don't have access to professionally run organizations in many areas of commerce, I agree. You can however control what they do by simply voting with your wallet, and you can discover quickly and easily if the people you are trading with know what they are doing or if they are hacks...

The overwhelming majority of the tire service industry are either poorly trained, poorer trained, or completely untrained. There are however organizations who properly train their people and make a concerted effort to do it correctly. I spent 40 years in the tire business, retired and...

Water purification is one of those things where "if alot is good, too much is just enough" Redundancy is absolutely applicable.

"Cake"

It is a good idea though, and definitely something you could cobble up on the fly if needed. On a similar but unrelated note filtering cheap vodka through one of these does improve the "flavor" somewhat, but it takes a number of passes to make it noticeable.

That will clip the protozoans, but not virus'. If there is any doubt at all about what may be upstream, I'm boiling any filtered water. Filtered is not purified.

That ought to do it as long as you treat if for bio afterwards. Boil, chemical, something

All other goals in life set aside, if I can make you smile I have satisfied my obligation to you. There are just too many things in life that bring sadness and pain to miss a chance to laugh, even if you're laughing at yourself.

Yer gonna die pard, you might as well die of Spam.

You may not understand it, but everything I told you is truth.

Regrettably (or not) to reach one of my two addresses by land , I have to enter the Land of Canuck

I was born and raised in Chicago. Chicago is a festering pustule on the face of the planet with virtually no redeeming characteristics aside the food. I to this day I reflect fondly on the sweating, glistening homogenized mass of Spam-like "meat" generically described as "Gyro". Impaled...

LOL, you asked.

Someone needs to build an overlanding friendly vertical mini-spit to roast a full can of Spam that can be shaved off Gyro style into a flat bread/tortillyer

I'm with you, my license to carry was issued at birth as a free man and I will exercise that right with a rampant disregard for the tax man or anyone else feelings. BUT, when the Canuckistanian border guards come into play it is prudent to up your game.

Properly cleaned and lubricated wheels and verification of assembly uniformity using the GG ring (circumferential ring immediately above the bead area is the GG ring), correct use of weight/uniformity indicators (red and/or yellow dots), properly selected and installed wheel weights and fastener...

Tires are definitely a "buy right, cry once" type of deal, but there are some value sweet spots to be found. Proper installation is critical to success and happiness, all too many believe that if it is on the wheel and holding air it was done correctly, which is not necessarily the case.

I hate to derail a thread about guns by talking about guns, but travel through the various political jurisdictions of the USA as well as the addition constraints of travel to or through Canuckistan presents legal challenges that can largely only be met by relatively mundane albeit effective long...

I have been very impressed with the Falken Wildpeak AT3W's that came on the Gladiator. Similarly I have been impressed with the General Grabber AT2 Both are budget friendly (unless you buy them attached to a new Jeep), are reasonably quiet and have crazy good traction for an all terrain
