Personally I've been excited that GM had thrown such a kick@$$ hat into the offroad ring. With the Ranger out of production for all those years, Toyota gobbled up the midsize truck offroad kudos, and now, it's a real duke-out. Having said that, I think the OP's stated budget is about ten times...

I also went with IRO (2 inches in my case) and Pro Comp 9000 series. I am guessing you have spoken with Nick "Kolak" Ianuzzi out of Arizona? He is extremely knowledgeable about Jeeps in general and WJ's specifically. He suggested IRO coils and either Bilstein or Pro Comps to me. I went with the...

That's what I thought. Indespensible. Makes all those horror movie, car key fumbling moments a mute point, too

Are we talking about remote starters or something that autonomously starts your car periodically when not in use? As far as remote starter...My 2014 GMC Sierra came with the remote start and lock. It's in the RPO codes and everything. I'm in the Northeast as well, though somewhat more north. I...

Wait, wait, wait...you have need a block heater? In Texas?!

Looks like you had a nice ride with your nice ride!

Since you specifically mention "truck " in the title of the thread...It's hard to beat a GMC Sierra for a smooth-riding truck, stock, right out of the box. The Suburban, if it is not too long for you, could also be a a real comfy ride. They are , essentially the same thing. The brand new Ram...

I seem to remember that what are now referred to as the "square body" Chevy c/k pickup trucks of the 70's and 80's had a factory option for a second fuel tank. These models (originally referred to as the rounded bodies, believe it or not) had the gas tank mounted under the truck bed on the...

My tools are mostly older Craftsman with some random S-K, Stanley, some others - and some Duralast from Autozone. That last category represents anything I discovered was lacking while mid-repair in the driveway. I've amassed quite a lot of tools and skills over the last 30 years for someone who...

Yep! Here's another one for the percolator! At home and when camping. I think I even have the same one.

Here's some definitive advice right from the horse's mouth:

Not being in bear country all that often, I'm curious, instead of bear spray and bells, what will you be doing? I've always been told that bells on your backpack bother a bear's ears and they move away from you. Is that bad advice?

https://www.overlandexpo.com/whats-new/covid19 Looks like Oct 9-11 at Infinity in Arrington Virginia! I've not been to one of these. Cannot attend this one as I will be driving from Boston to Montana for my nephew's wedding and some adventuring between Oct 2nd and Oct 18. But I thought I'd...

At a 300 pound load limit, a 200 pound man and a 100 pound woman arrive at the threshold. Now add a 100 + pound RTT and whatever you have up there for gear, and you are likely to find yourself waking up in the bed of the truck some morning, or at least weakening the top and reducing its...

I've said it before, I am a gun owner. And I'm a gun owner in a blue state. I learned at a very early age from my Vietnam vet father. I'm not afraid of guns but I recognize that others are. So please understand where I'm coming from when I say this: What I do know is that I acted differently...

For me, the whole reason I got the topper was to sleep inside the bed of the truck with some sort of solid cover.

Upon more consideration even 300 pounds seems like a lot. Id probably feel OK with 200 pounds. Mainly I'm putting up 2 kayaks. Or maybe a spare wheel - usually not at the same time. I know the rack system can take more than that, but there just isnt anything substantial supporting the wide flat...

Not sure I would want the weight of 2 people, any gear, and the tent up on the top of a Leer topper all night. I have a Thule TracRac style on top of mine that is supposedly good to hold 500 pounds. Then again, that rack system is meant to be gutter mounted to a metal roof of a full size van...

12 ga with rifled slug is just about all Massachusetts lets us hunt deer with. Pretty powerful at close range. At one time I knew someone who loaded his Mossberg 500a so that the first shot out was #4 buckshot, and the second was a deer slug, then 4 buck, then deer. Last one was a crap shoot...
