    Battery operated impact driver vs. pneumatic

    This is what some fail to understand. You aren't getting all the power if you don't have enough air. You can turn up the pressure and blow the air harder to help but that can damage the tool and it still won't work as it should. Electric motors are getting better and better, batteries not as...

    Battery operated impact driver vs. pneumatic

    That one is a beast. I can't imagine needing more power than that.

    Battery operated impact driver vs. pneumatic

    If you haven't tried some of these newer battery operated impact wrenches you will be impressed.

    Battery operated impact driver vs. pneumatic

    I went that route in the past. For me it just took up too much space and didn't perform as well as the battery operated wrench I have now. For air I have the MV50 and it is good enough for air tires unless you are really in a hurry. Another issue is you are tethered to your vehicle with...

    Battery operated impact driver vs. pneumatic

    If you really have a need for longer usage air would still be the way to go, but on the trail and for the shade tree mechanic a couple batteries and a charger works really well.

    Battery operated impact driver vs. pneumatic

    I read about people wanting an onboard air systems capable of handling pneumatic tools and all the expense and hassle that goes along with it. I just wanted to through this out there as an option. I have had this Dewalt impact wrench for a few months and it continues to impress me. It does not...

    I use more gas with this rack empty then with my cargo trailer loaded with 4 kyakas and a 16 foot canoe. When I checked I was driving on twisty country roads aprox 45 to 55 mph. .

    Yeti Lawsuit

    I know a few people who have both Yeti and Ozark (walmart) tumblers. With cold some say there is no difference others say the Ozarks is better, none say Yeti is better. With hot drinks my Yeti is no stellar performer, it works better than a coffee mug but at least I can but my coffee mug in...

    Jeep jku CB install in center console?

    In crowed areas, mostly off road parks, there are time when I have had to change the channel but not often and not really that big of a deal. I would prefer mounting it under the seat then in or around the center console. In the past I hung mine behind the center console and it seemed to...

    Which off-road vehicle?

    It is more available but what makes it a better option 90% of the time for 90% of the people. They should have a smoother ride on many surfaces but other than that what is the advantage of IFS?

    Which off-road vehicle?

    One HUGE advantage with straight axle vs independent is when one wheel is pushed up with solid axle it pushes down the opposite side forcing it to stay in better contact with the ground, This is better for traction. That doesn't happen with independent suspension. But this is why independent...

    Which off-road vehicle?

    I'm going to disagree with you about ground clearance with ifs vs. Solid axle. With solid axle your lowest point always stays in the same place and is determined by the size of your different and tires. It is predictable. With independent suspension it changes and come closer to the ground do...

    Jeep jku CB install in center console?

    Think about how much you will use the CB versus what else you could use in your center console for. I would get a small CB mount it under the dash or a bigger one and mount it on the dash or overhead. I would wast the space in the center console for a CB.

    Which off-road vehicle?

    Unless you are hauling only a couple sticks eventually hauling fire wood will beat up whatever you put it in no matter how care full you are. Can you use a cargo Trailer to haul your wood? You should be able to pick one up for a couple hundred dollars. A trailer can give you allot of extra...

    1986 towing

    I will have to see how it goes with the bumper and hitch. This bumper itself is more than adequate. I will have to take a good luck on how it is attached to the truck. The tubing is pretty thick, it is not a typical tube bumper.

    1986 towing

    That hitch may be a good option instead of trying re-enforce the current bumper. I would have to see who that hitch mounts. I wonder if the current bumper would be in the way of that hitch. For a recovery point I would rather just go to the frame. But coming up with good recovery points is...

    1986 towing

    Thanks for the replies. That truck isn't setting any land speed records without a trailer. Most of the areas will be relatively flat. The bumper is not the stock one. I am confident enough in the bumper but I will have to make sure it is attached to the truck adequately and I will also have...

    I have a 1986 Toyota P/U 4X4. Is it capable of towing a 5X10 cargo trailer with a few kayaks on it? This is the trailer: this is the truck:

    The quest for the perfect family (5 of us) overlanding/camping setup....

    When camping I DO NOT want to crawl in and out of things. I have a tent I can stand in for my primitive camping and tow a Hybrid (2400lbs and almost 24 feet when folded out) for campground camping. Over the past 8 years or so I have had 3 different campers. The Hybrid is by far our favorite...
