    Receiver hitch shackle mount or just the pin for use with soft shackles?

    That is my main concern. Even if the 2 vehicles are on a level plane the odds of 1 of those vehicles shifting enough to allow the strap to rub on the inside of the receiver lip is high.

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

    Well that was instructive. :) The Canyon and some models of Colorado come with 2 tow hooks up front which I'm thankful for. For the rear I use a hitch receiver and d ring like shown in the video.

    X-Bull Recovery Tracks...another inexpensive alternative

    I was coming in to post this video. lol Well I finally got to use my Maxsa boards yesterday and they worked perfectly once got them positioned correctly. No damage from the heavy diesel rig either despite a little wheelspin. He started rolling before I was ready to video but you get the point...

    1-day Snow Wheeling Trip near Foresthill, CA - A Jeep, a Canyon and a Ram 2500

    1. Big heavy trucks are terrible in snow 2. Always carry proper recovery gear 3. Buy a quality air compressor with a 20min+ run time 4. The Falken Wildpeak A/T3W and our trucks are pretty capable in snow 5. Airing down the tires is a VERY good idea, especially for heavy rigs Northern California...

    Help! ZR2 vs. Rubicon

    They canned it for the US. The FX4 package is the best we get for the foreable future. :(

    Looks like I wasn't the only one out playing in the new snow. :) Good to see you guys getting your rigs filthy. We played around in the Foresthill area.

    Help! ZR2 vs. Rubicon

    Nobody wants to park a FULL-SIZE truck. The mid-size trucks are quite parking lot friendly. :)

    Alaska Bound Power Wagon

    My buddies live in Anchorage so I vist a couple times a year. I keep chipping away at my fiance's reluctance to move there. :) I love my truck but I would certainly consider trading it in for a PW if I lived up there. The size is less of a hinderance than were I currently live and it has all the...

    Help! ZR2 vs. Rubicon

    Good point considering his other vehicle is a Camaro. That almost screams buy a truck as a 2nd vehicle. :)

    ZR2 Bison vs. Wrangler with falcon shocks?

    That's the best way to go assuming you can fix stuff that will no longer be covered by warranty. One thing to keep in mind is that the only way, currently, to get the front diff locker is to buy the ZR2 or Bison. No other Colorado/Canyon has a front locker and the rear locker on those other...

    Help! ZR2 vs. Rubicon

    The more you lean towards hard core off-road and pure overlanding I'd say the Jeep. It's super capable, can easily house much larger tires and the aftermarket options are vast including interior gadgets like tablet holders, dash organization modules etc. The more you lean towards desert style...

    ZR2 Bison vs. Wrangler with falcon shocks?

    I would venture to say the Bison due to the longer wheelbase and those amazing Multimatic shocks. However, you're not limited to them if you should later decide you need even more capability. Baja Kits makes a pre-runner kit for the ZR2 now. You can watch some of the 420Motors videos. He's...
