This thread needed that.

Boost, that last paragraph is not the point I'm arguing with you. And 50 years of legal precedent? If you know that 50 years of legal precedent, why would you keep D cell maglite and freeze plugs in the barn if you held an FFL, to cite your example?. Why dont you just call the ATF and drop a...

Right? I think you get a pass carrying all that stuff if you are driving a 20 year old Jeep or something. It's a given. They confirm by asking to see the can of PB Blast.

I dont disagree with Boost that the lawmen have power, and sometimes move beyond that power whether knowingly or not. But if you give the law a wide berth, your chances of getting stung decrease exponentially.

Ok. I think you are missing my point, here, Boost. If you have freeze plugs for a Chevy...and you have your D cell MagLite (quite outdated for sure, but ok, I'll go with it)...when in a friggin ordinary day would the ATF just randomly show up for the average person? Audit for an FFL holder? Ok...

Exactly my point. A simple screwdriver is on that list. If you use that in commission of a crime it becomes either a weapon or a burglary tool, depending how you have used it. But they aren't stopping construction workers from carrying them, nor are they stopping random people on the street on...

So? So right, you are wrong. It comes down to intent. But even before that, the police have to SEE it. Here's a tip: keep the bolt cutters in a separate, locked toolbox. When they cant be seen, they aren't questioned. Get it? Put it in the tool box, with other construction or mechanic tools...

One does not. When one runs into trouble, evidently, is when one has them on his lap, along with various sundries which may or may not "look" like they've been recently "liberated", during a random traffic stop. If I am understanding one correctly

Boost, if something looks out of place, that's on the driver of the vehicle. If an officer is looking for a thief who used bolt cutters to steal x, they are allowed to keep an eye out for bolt cutters and anything on the list of stolen items, such as x. Unless you have some other illegal item...

Do you have bolt cutters and a slimjim sitting on your lap during a traffic stop? How would an officer even know that you have those things if they were properly stored away from plain sight? For me, I often do carry bolt cutters. Then again, I often have a set of mechanics tools as well. When...

Not to say I dont like the new Bronco. Love it! But jeep CJ / Wrangler has been at it since 1941, Bronco didnt kick in until the 60's, died with the 90's. From thier perspective, what are the chances this new Bronco will hurt them long term? Sure, a dip in sales the first couple years maybe but...

Jeep responded already. They put an 8 cylinder in a Rubicon. Oh, and...they've had the market cornered with no domestic competition since at least the 1990's - longer if you consider the last generations of the Bronco and Blazer were not offroad oriented. So, to me, Jeep Wrangler is kind of...

While the thought of spending $950 on a hard tonneau cover that would fit in over the bed while the toolbox was in it sounds cost averse, just remember that a new color-matched Leer cap/camper shell can be anywhere between $1500 and $3500. It was rare to see an Extang Solid Fold tonneau sized...

I have been through several permutations of my truck bed configuration - from soft tonneau to diamond deck toolbox to full on Leer 180 cap with rack. I remember thinking just what you were thinking and I actually googled it a couple years ago:

For driving, I have a Garmin (Nuvi?) from about 10 years ago. Had a hard time updating it. Got a new one (Drive 65?) Laat may. I like the old features better but like I said it doesnt update. The rest is Google maps or my Atlas and my collection of Gazetteers. For hiking, tyvek trail maps from...

I dont know your options, but if I could, I'd take it without the forward camera and treat it as a service campaign when it comes in at the dealer. My brother in law drove his Gladiator as we went out to Montana. It's a pretty cool ride with and the info-tainment center has a great user...

Liquor store in a town near me.

Well, you can wish in one hand, and crap in the other, and see which gets filled first. The amount of technology, computer and chips in cars is never going to go backwards, unless there is a true apocalypse and we have to start all over. There have been computers in cars since at least the...
