    ARB JACK vs. Hi-Lift Jack

    In this article are some great Hi-Lift jack accessories that should be a part of your Hi-Lift recovery Kit. I own several of these as I am a big believer in maximizing utility. BTW, none of these things fits the ARB Jack...

    ARB JACK vs. Hi-Lift Jack

    Make sure you get some accessories for it. They only make it even more capable.

    ARB JACK vs. Hi-Lift Jack

    "it is a hazardous design". No, it is not. It is a machine, a very simple machine. Combined with even a rudimentary understanding of physics it is capable of extraordinary things, limited only by the imagination. I can winch with mine, I can clamp, I lift my bumpers, my sliders, my tires, I...

    Animal strikes and brush bars

    Amen! The little bastards running around L.A. on motorized scooters are begging to be run over. I almost killed three last month while making a left on green on a one way street when the three ************** almost plowed into the driver's side, going the wrong way (against traffic) at speed, on...

    Animal strikes and brush bars

    We had some Ranch Hand front bumpers on some of our vehicles when I was in the Border Patrol. They have my whole-hearted endorsement for striking animals and other vehicles.

    Am I SOL?

    He entered into a legal contract for the vehicle as described, after reviewing the vehicle, the description, and the contract. He accepted said vehicle and signed the contract. It is way past too late legally to cry foul.

    ARB JACK vs. Hi-Lift Jack

    Sorry. I have a lot of ARB gear but just can't get past the 10/1 price differential between the two. I'll be keeping my Hi-Lift.

    New AEV Recovery Ropes Announced

    Whatever. I'm putting it in the same category as the Ram 1500/2500 AEV rear bumper and unicorns.

    Looking for AT Tires

    I'm running Falken A/TW3 Wildpeaks on the Jeep. Love them. They're also the OEM tire for the Jeep Gladiator Rubicon.

    First Gen Ford Expedition

    We ran the 1st Gen Ford Expeditions back in the day when I was a Border Patrol Agent. They're a poor platform for off-roading. Eventually it will develop cracks in the firewall that will extend to the floorpan in the driver's footwell. This a torque/twisting issue between the monocoque body...

    Dry fire for improving shooting accuracy

    Are you familiar with the concept of "riding the reset"? Frankly, it's the biggest reason for large and inconsistent group sizes. Squeeze the trigger, do not let up when the gun fires, feel the tactile resetting of the trigger as you slowly and under control, let pressure off the trigger...

    Dry fire for improving shooting accuracy

    After five years as an agency firearms instructor, I prefer this chart, and lasers are for sharks.

    Wide vs. Narrow tire size for Truck Campers

    I'm reasonably certain that the Big O Big Foot 1500 is manufactured by Cooper Tires.

    FS: Custom Expo Trailer Base. Build your dream trailer on this..

    Some very interesting engineering ideas. What do you estimate its weight capacity to be? Articulation range of the swing arms?

    Wide vs. Narrow tire size for Truck Campers

    Damn good looking set up! We have the 1/2 ton 1500 on LT285/70R17E Open Country A/T II . Great quiet tire on the highway. We run the same size tire on our Jeep JKU but in Falken A/TW3s. Unfortunately they are not available in 295/70s although the Open Country A/T II are. I run the same...

    Family vehicle Toyota vs Jeep

    In our circle it seems to be Jeeps and/or four-door short-bed pickups for everyone. My wife decided on a Ram Rebel as our Outback replacement. I love that truck. Now if only AEV would lower their bumper prices..........

    9MM Pistol for bear protection?

    The effects of bear spray are far from instantaneous and there are many factors to consider, wind direction and strength, distance, etc. A non-lethal response is never the correct response to life-threatening situation.

    Are snorkels noisy

    I have a roof top tent atop a rack, a snorkel, lights, and I roll on E Load tires. My Jeep sounds like a dump truck at highway speeds. Distinguishing any sound from the snorkel from the cacophony would be an impossible task.
