    Insurance. Who Do You Like?

    I just got a text from my agent. It said our 2022 Forester Wilderness policy is going UP $232 every 6 month. That's over $500 a year INCREASE. No tickets, no changes, hell we're both retired old people! I need to shop around but hate doing it online. Maybe I'll call that lizard...

    So, Where Are All Of The 2020/2021/2022's Waiting On Chips?

    Thousands of them piled up in parking lots. Remember?

    Getting Lost...

    When I was a young man, myself and a friend and our wives were roaming around Arizona. We were young and didn't have much money. Or a map. We got lost, and after several hours came to an old hotel/motel place in the mountains with a large swimming pool that was unkept and had green water...

    Help Somebody If You Can.....

    We have some of the best rigs for this type of a situation. Looks like this might end up being the worst and most expensive winter storm in U.S. history. Do what you can. Be careful.

    Hyundai Santa Cruz...

    My wife is looking at them (AWD) to replace her Jeep Patriot. Just her daily driver, grocery getter, in and out of our hunting cabin, just light duty stuff. I kinda like it. She's always wanted an Outback, but they have gone CVT, so that's out. Now she thinks she needs a truck. Well, sorta...

    New Nissan Frontier...

    Just saw a t.v. commercial for the re-design. I would have thought this to be big news with the Nissan people, but it's been kinda quiet. Maybe because no dealers actually have any vehicles right now?

    The "NEW" Nissan Pathfinder

    My wife had a 96 Pathfinder. First year of Unibody if I recall? It got her out of some pickles, one being a ditch... Was a good rig, we took it to the Gulf several times. Holly Beach in the old days pre hurricane "Rita". Then they sorta morphed into a soccer Mom / minivan thing. I'm seeing all...

    The Great Chip Shortage / What Happens Next ?

    Tens of thousands of new vehicles are supposedly sitting around in parking lots awaiting "chips". The car lots are bare and the salesmen are suffering. Used trucks are worth nearly what they sold for new, yet I'm seeing new Broncos every day on the road. Are only trucks affected, or is it also...

    Re-name The Jeep Cherokee And Grand Cherokee....

    This is NOT going to go away. Cherokee Nation chief tells Jeep to rename its SUVs (msn.com) One of the most successful vehicles of all time, and one of the most awarded. I would advise Mother Mopar to get in front of this and get it over with. Please try to keep this civil so as it doesn't...

    Higher Fuel Prices And Overlanding

    I took this picture Nov. 8th, 2020 because I had a feeling we may never see this again. As pipelines close and more restrictions increase the price of fuel, this will surely have an effect on the ability for some of us to travel. My Hemi actually gets pretty good mileage with the 8 speed. If...

    Fiat Chrysler to become Stellantis....

    Will be #4 Worldwide behind VW, Renault Nissan, and Toyota. Fiat and Peugeot shareholders green light jumbo car merger - MarketWatch I hope they keep Walter Chrysler's name alive. I've been a Mopar fan since my first car, a 1966 Chrysler 300 (with a 383) outran a show-off in a Camaro in front...

    Happy Thanksgiving, ya bunch of turkeys...

    We may argue tires, lifts, brand, model, engines, and stuff but we all agree. A good meal is hard to beat. May God Bless America.

    High Mileage Rigs And Legendary Powerplants

    I owned a 1994 Toyota SR5 2wd pickup for 13 years. That little 4 cyl. 2.4 was supposed to be capable of 300,000, but after about 160,000 I had a lot of issues with that truck and it was serviced quite well. It was the last year before the Tacoma however, I think, and that's been quite a success...

    How To Identify Hoat / Oat Coolant.

    My wife's 2015 Patriot SHOULD be OAT. However, it's hit a few deer and spent some time in the body shop a few years ago, so I want to be sure. I checked the coolant around Thanksgiving and it tested good for the winter, but I might want to change it this summer. Is there a test strip or...

    Mastercraft Courser AXT 2...

    Mastercraft tires are built by Cooper in the U.S.A. They are sold in smaller locally owned tire shops, many in America's Heartland. My wife got over 60,000 miles on her last set of Mastercraft's on the Jeep, and I just put these AXT 2's on my Ram. New tires always feel better, but I gotta say...

    Ratchet / Sockets ...

    Since a mishap I'm in need of a better travel hand tool kit. My older American Craftsman set is gone and the new ones are Chinese and 12 point. In a pinch I bought a Kobalt set last year and it's junk. The 3/8 ratchet locked up on the FIRST use, Lowes gave me a bit of a hassle (hassle free ?)...

    It's 1 Degree (f) On The Ohio River...... Starting Procedure..

    I like to let my truck warm up a few extra minutes when it's this cold. I'm running a 5W20 Pennzoil Ultra Platinum Synthetic which flows good, but I just think the metal should be allowed to get to temp before stressing. How about you? I also wonder about transmission temps.

    What's Your Motor Oil ?

    Since buying the new Ram, I've been researching oil. Sheeze..... Mine was a leftover 2016 so I was concerned to get the OEM paper filter changed because it was likely 2 years old and had the dealer change it with 5-20 Penzoil Conventional due to it's high moly count and Chrysler spec while it...
