Hopefully us wealthier folk invested our excess in something more useful than the stock market ponzi scheme.... thereby simply adding to the PE/ratio, and the bank accounts of the oligarchs... Not that the ponzi can't go on indefinitely, so long as people keep shoveling $$$ into it... like all...

How much space is under the floor and what's under there?

Pretty sure you can deflate a 37 and ratchet strap it down and make it fit... or cut off the tabs or something. You definitely want a spare, but it doesn't need to be that convenient. I always plug first... and in many thousands of offroad miles, I think I only used a spare once. In fact a...

Your use case doesn't make sense at all for LT, IMO. I have a 2" front lift with fat 35s, swaybar removed, front skid, and Ironman FC Pros... which I guess are no longer an option unfortunately. Otherwise stock. It sounds like you are not a bang for buck guy, though! Maybe look into portal...

I was near there! That overlaps the end of my 2 week trip, camping SE of Carnero Lake. Amazing to have days in the high 70s in early Oct at 9,000 ft.

That's the median for the country... which is what I thought we were talking about... not your personal anecdote. Do you have some reason to believe that the people on public assistance fared worse? People on public assistance get COL adjustments, plus during covid they got boosted foodstamps...

Nope. Not on average. "According to the Census Bureau, real median household income reached $80,610 in 2023 — up 4% since 2022, when real median household income was $77,540." Regarding gasoline prices:

It's impossible to have an intelligent discussion of economics over the last 4.5 years without considering covid policies and their effects. If you think covid = politics, then I can't help you. If you are referring to me, that would be a first. 🤪

That's exactly where I got the info... research papers. Not the "news".

Yes, I think for myself and look things up instead of subjecting my brain to "news" echo-chambers, which only repeat party lines. Facts would help on the discussion aspect. And what does the comment about pets mean?

Compared to what? I agree that they could have up even worse, but that is a very low bar to hurdle. And this isn't a hindsight observation, it was obvious right from the start what the effects would be with a little thinking. $7T just in stimulus alone! Regarding the "deadliness" of the virus...

Nothing unfair or unethical about it in the slightest. In fact it is precisely what I expect to happen in a competitive free market. The government response was the problem. Some money printing was necessary, but it was excessive and very stupidly dispersed. Many companies went bankrupt, while...

The covid laws and the excessive money printing response, along with the asinine way in which it was "dispersed"... created all sorts of supply and demand disruptions. Who are the greedy ones you are speaking of? Anyone in the business of making and selling things, who suddenly has a bunch of...

Not greed... money printing. It makes $ worth less... not very complicated.

Wut?! You mean they all suck? :unsure: 🤪

They can go that far with a recharge, so pick that option. Too many downsides to EVs with excessive range. If you need that, then pick something else.

Ya... thought maybe it was an issue with the 5.7L I didn't know about... :eek: (y)

What is that?

I actually get better mpg with big heavy Hankook ATs (35x13) than the stock Bridgestone street tires (32x10) 🤪 Rolling resistance is not something you can tell by looking or weighing, unfortunately...

It's not semantics, it's science and math. And in this case the conclusion of needing 800Ah to charge a car battery was wildly inaccurate. 8A for 1 hour is 8Ah. 8A for 10 hrs is 80Ah. And the units of power are watts. Amps are not energy or power... but if we multiply by voltage, then we get...
