A lot of the guys in my area (SE US) that have brush bars on their vehicles never set a tire in the dirt. When asked about the brush bars they usually tell me it's to prevent damage from hitting whitetail deer - we have a LOT of them down here, often well over 100lbs. But every vehicle I've...

It's been triple digits here for the last 4 days in ol' Georgia - a bit early even for us. I reached in the bed of my truck yesterday evening and nearly gave myself a third degree burn on the black aluminum of the tonneau cover. This started me thinking - it's de riguer for us all to have big...

I bought a new full size pickup so I'm selling the Grand Cherokee I've been building for the last year. For more pics, full info on what's been done (a lot) and what it needs (not much) follow the link to the local CL add...

I'm considering at some point in the future (i.e. not soon) moving the spare from inside my ZJ to a bumper mount. One of the main duties for the truck, though, is towing and launching my vintage trihull boat. It seems like the standard rear swing out would be troublesome for boat launches. It...

I've got ancient Yakima roof bars on the old expo Jeep with standard fork trap trays. This means, of course, that you remove the front wheel to mount the bikes. I had a full basket rack on the last truck and I would just throw the loose front wheel in it and bungee it down, but now without the...
