I agree but with a salvage title and no warranty, I’m a hard no given the problems with new trucks. I’m still not clear why Michigan issued a salvage title given all the mods - does that hold true for all AEV modified vehicle or vehicles built for shows like SEMA?

When I was in Law enforcement, we called open carry folks "shoot me first" folks. Same with people who wore 5.11 stuff and tactical vests.

Sorry, Missed it but that doesn't really deal with the issue of owner liability in an accident. The insurance industry definitely sways manufacturers on many issues. But their business model, as you all know, is to maximize premiums and minimize payments. And accidents involving overweight...

4 pages of comments and i didn't see the word "insurance" once. Having spent time in that industry, they employ their own engineers and experts who do look at accidents where big claims or fatalities occur. If they can think an accident was caused by an over weight/overloaded vehicle, they'll...

We've been using these for years and they are sturdy, easy to get up from and the side table is a nice to have. https://www.harborfreight.com/foldable-aluminum-sports-chair-blue-56719.html

I've never owned a van but based on the number of stuck vehicles I have encountered in the backcountry, almost every one were adventure vans of various makes and models, usually heavily modified. Someone has told them that their van is just as capable as a Jeep and can go anywhere they go - so...

Received today. They arrived in great shape,

State Farm insures my flatbed through a rider.

One note -- on the Jackery V2 I own, solar input is on the side and not the back. There are no inputs on the back of mine. That said, the front is preferable. And the low weight of the Jackery compared with the others was a big selling point, especially if mounted in a vehicle.

Thats a beautiful truck. If you have the time, there is a 4x4 show at Buck Hill on 6/28 -- it's free and you might have some luck there. https://ticketspotapp.com/e/95js1

On my FWC, I hit a tree branch I didn't see and it crushed the passenger front corner, doing pretty significant damage to the aluminum frame as well as the outer skin. The repair required finding someone who could strip off the skin and replace the aluminum frame members. I was surprised to...
