    What is an "Arsenal"

    You're arguing semantics. Legally speaking, a semi-auto rifle with a bumpstock isn't considered an automatic weapon (which is why the device was approved by the ATF under Obama). However, a bumpstock does, in essence, allow a semi-auto rifle to replicate full auto capabilities. There is a...

    What is an "Arsenal"

    Okay, but even as die-hard 2nd Amendment supporters (which is a group I consider myself part of) we should acknowledge that the bumpstock is a "gimmicky" way of sidestepping the 1986 NFA regulation pertaining to full auto firearms. At the very least, there should be serious consideration to...

    Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 first drive reviews

    I don't know about that. Consider that (2) ARB air lockers cost ~$2k (that's not even including the costs of installation). The DSSV suspension (which to my knowledge isn't available on the aftermarket) and the different axles used on the ZR2, and the different tires....I think you'd easily be...

    Locking Rear diff

    Think of it as an escalation of 4WD abilities. With the center differential unlocked, you have power going to all 4 wheels, distributed via a center differential (which is akin to AWD). Power is distributed, with some variability, between the front and rear drive shafts so that some, or in...

    Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 first drive reviews

    I wouldn't waste time and money on a non-OEM supercharger....too much risk to the engine's longevity IMHO.

    Does Toyota offer a super charger for the new 3.5l v6 in the Tacoma?

    Lets see some full size pictures...

    I love how that ARB bumper looks on the newer Ram's; it looks to have a much better fit relative to the ARB bumpers on the older Ram's.

    What is an "Arsenal"

    I don't think most law-abiding gun owners will care if bump stocks get banned. A bump stock is a modification that, while legally in compliance, does skirt around the spirit and intent of the 1986 NFA legislation. I think at least considering NFA regulation (similar to how suppressors and full...

    FJ Cruiser or 4Runner?

    The honest-to-god truth is that if you buy any one of these 3 options (FJ Cruiser, 4th gen 4runner, GX) you're getting a very solid platform to build upon. They each have their distinct pro's and con's, but in the end you can't go wrong with any of these choices.

    FJ Cruiser or 4Runner?

    ^ This. Good weather tech floor mats can alleviate issues in the passenger areas, but putting carpet in the back storage areas is just stupid. That area gets dirty and gunked up all the time in my 4runner (my shedding furball probably doesn't help). The FJ and the Xterra got it right by...

    Let's talk axe and knife sharpening

    I've had a few knives and an axe for a little over a year now. They've all seen very moderate use, but I'm getting to the point where their edges need some sharpening and general maintenance. Axe: I have a small forest axe from Gransfors Bruk. I love the quality and the utility of the thing...

    FJ Cruiser or 4Runner?

    For that price range, you're looking at either a FJ Cruiser or a 4th gen 4runner. I faced a similar decision a year or two ago, though I ended up with a newer 5th gen 4runner. FJ Cruiser: solid platform (based on LC Prado platform); great utilitarian interior (angle indicator, some had...

    Options and thougts

    I can't speak to the optioning on the Tacoma. All I know is that you can get nicer accoutrements on a 4runner and still get a locker. I myself drive a fairly spartan 4runner Trail (no heated seats, no leather, no nav) and I couldn't be happier. Heated seats would have been nice, but the truck...

    Options and thougts

    Get the locker...it's better to have it and not need it than...you know the rest. In all seriousness it makes no sense to think about adding one down the road if they are factory options. You will also find that it is much more effective than the ATRAC system, and certainly the two working in...
