It is not just a question of time versus money. How mechanically inclined are you? If you are good at working on things yourself then I would lean towards your parent's 80 series. But if not, then I would say get something new that you are less likely to need to work on. Let your own...

Do you see anything in popular culture that encourages anything else? Responsibility is out. "Look at me, I'm the most important person on the planet" is in. Or "I'm a victim and should be able to do anything I want because of it." Nobody wants to hear about ethics or hard work. Bring...

It doesn't matter if the vehicle has an ashtray or not. I see plenty of people flicking butts out of vehicles that I know have ashtrays. They simply don't want to live with their own trash. Make it someone else's problem. These are the same people who leave their cans behind. Or anything...

You make a good point. We should encourage more folks to drive electric cars. Keeps them on a shorter leash. No charging stations.

It has been suggested the SoCal NAXJA Adopt-A-Trail crew change its name to "Modelo Bottle and Can Removal". However, those aren't anywhere near as bad as the dump-load of roofing that got donated for Cleghorn. You know everyone just loves roofing nails. The more I deal with people the more I...

You are not the first person I have heard complain about their customer service. It seems to be a theme.

What is this country coming to? All we can do is put a Tesla in orbit? And we are going to let another country be the first to put a car on the moon? Man, have we ever slipped.

I can't imagine anything simpler than tying the loose end around the ratchet or just tucking it under. And why would I want to complicate the picture?

You are going to first need to figure out what sort of draw your appliances have, and then you can determine what source best matches the need. If your appliances include a stove and an oven I don't think you will be able to pull this off with solar. That would take a pretty big array and a...

The European stuff, like Baltic Birch, comes in that size. Probably find it at a wood supplier that caters to cabinet shops. Not likely you will find it at the big box stores.

You know, there isn't just one solution. I think a lot of folks get hung up on the idea that there has to be "a" solution, and there simply isn't. There are a bunch of ways to attack the problem, and each way has its pros and cons. I say this as one who has tried a bunch of them. And has a...

I would want to know whose long arm lift kit? I would also want to know if it is still running stock steering, or if that has been upgraded, and if so, again, whose steering? Those are the areas where failure is the most dangerous. Of all the mods in that list, the Warn winch is the only...

96K miles is nothing for that motor, assuming decent maintenance and care. But you do still have to worry about rubber aging and getting brittle. This means seals and hoses. Things like fuel line back at the tank, engine seals and gaskets, flex lines for the brakes, etc. Modifications are...

Another old Coleman white gas user here. They just work. I have several of them. It's hard to decide which one to take on any given trip. I try to pick whichever one has been sitting the longest without being used. I wouldn't want them to feel neglected.

I have to wonder what they mean by "removing barriers". I would hate to see this turn into one of those things where the existing facilities get shut down because they are not ADA friendly or some such thing. (And yes, I have watched this happen. There are law sharks who go around looking for...

What motor in the WJ? If the 4.0L inline 6 then I wouldn't worry about it. If the V-8 with the fancy valvetrain I might be more concerned. The 4.0L is a pretty reliable motor. Things like the water pump, alternator and starter might bite you, but those really are not big issues. The day...

The argument about damage multipier vs protection is going to hinge on the designs of both the brush guard and the vehicle on which it is installed. If the guard is designed more for show than protection then yes, it can be a damage multiplier. However, I know from personal experience with the...

Thank you for actually looking into this and providing good information.

The best overland rig is the one that you enjoy using. I think far too many people are looking for something that will impress others. I think it is a mistake to spend money you don't have, buying things you don't really need in order to impress people you don't even know. But that seems to...

Awesome.
