Well do you want green energy or not? There aren't many suitable dam sites left and had Floyd Dominy had his way there'd already be dams at the Grand Canyon.

I like my ATAS-120. My only complaint is that mechanically it doesn't seem like the most robust construction but I also can't say I've personally had any problems with mine either. It will be a low-Q antenna so inefficient but that's theory and any screwdriver is going to be a compromise for...

Is this the same truck?

That $1500 for FOX 2.0 IFP without reservoir front coil overs and rear shocks is about normal price. They're certainly not offering a screaming deal but looking around might save a Benjamin or two at most so it's not twice the normal price either. The ability to have them installed at the...

Well, if you buy a Cruiser for $60,000 with an expected life of 25 years then over time it balances if you pay $30,000 twice in the same span. Didn't the 200 Series get cartridge unit bearings? It shares similar components with the Tundra, right? No matter how you analyze it I suspect all...

My 1991 factory service manual gave a maintenance chart that was to be repeated every 60,000 miles. So whether they expected 60K, 120k, 180k, who knows? The FSM for my 2008 doesn't have a similar mileage chart. The owner's manual refers you to maintenance supplement, which gives tasks done at...

I'm tough on my trucks, always have been. Going from a 1991 that was still being built like it was in 1970s and 1980s to this 2008 has been an eye opener in terms of quality and ruggedness. It's a fine truck but in many ways plainly built to lower standards and expectations. I've actually...

I don't know about astonishingly low. My Tacoma has 95,000 miles and has gone through 2 sets of wheel bearings and a clutch. The rear driveshaft carrier bearing needs to be replaced at the moment. I've replaced the front rotors, that being due to rusting from inside. My 1991 had the original...

I have a feeling this is going to demonstrate that a Pinz can carry 45 panels on top of a layer of batteries in it's cargo space. So it'll work just as long you don't need to carry anything going 100 miles a day. Not to mention you must do all your driving at night since you'll need to deploy...

The effectiveness is probably marginal but as long as the cover doesn't impede air flow for the compressor it should be no worse at least to have a little insulation and a small air gap. I have a cover on my Engel and when it gets hit by sun the surface of the cover is warmer than the silver...

Details will be interesting to see for sure! Curious what they are planning for capacity and where they're carrying them all.

It doesn't even have to be anything that involved. I think just rolling around under your truck while you wait for the oil to drain - tugging on things, poking around, inspecting, wiping off road grime and dirt - goes a long way. But doing your own maintenance or having a regular mechanic...

My experience @shade is that ball joints and u-joints usually give you warning before catastrophic failure so as long as you or your mechanic are giving them a once over during oil changes and chassis lubes the likelihood of failing on the trail is minimal. I've blown CV axles on the 1991 and...

I'm most assuredly not an expert but I understand the reason people think the CZ75 and BHP are closely related is they do share a similar manual of arms and profile. No denying that. But I think there's enough differences to not call it a copy. I mean a lot of pistols before 1975 were...

A USB battery would be much more handy if you're just charging phones and what-not. If you're really after a hardwired solution this DROK has been reliable for me. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NALDSJ0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00

@ram2500_24v, the advantage of the Subaru for us is clearance and better handling of unmaintained winter roads. The Jetta we have is a 2002 wagon and with decent tires and snow cables it's a fine road car (we have been very happy with it) but it's just starts to get limiting off pavement. She...

If you're buying new it doesn't matter, Subaru dropped the stick from the Forester in 2019 anyway. Toyota eliminated the stick option from the RAV4 with a generation change several years ago. Not sure if the CRV does or ever did have a stick. Yeah, steering controls, I dunno. I have them in...

Don't have a trailer so no help but being a base non-turbo 2.5i (if we could have gotten crank windows we would have!) with 6 speed manual I doubt it would be much good at it. I have a pickup still for that. Normally aspirated does require keeping the revs up in the mountains but it hangs in...

Our Forester doesn't feel poorly built. Sitting now at 23k it hasn't developed any weird noises or irritations and seems about par for a car of the type and age. Everything works, doors close soundly, hasn't consumed significant oil other than during the first change, etc. Digging through...
