    "You Can't Get There From Here"; A Definition - Mitch's North Maine Woods Trip Report

    Nice write-up, XJ. I've been wavering, should I fix up my old 99 WJ and do a run like this, or junk it and stay with my 14 Sierra. This makes me think twice. A lot of those roads and trails look plenty wide enough for a mostly stock full size pickup. That maybe I could get into and out of a lot...

    Jackery 1000 vs dual battery vehicle set up for running ARB fridge.

    Uh, does this go for internally mounted comms and external mounted auxiliary and camp lights, in your view?

    I have a jump starter- should I still carry jumper cables?

    I'm thinking more and more to pick a jump starter up. Seems prudent, especially if you are caught out there alone. But to be fair, jumper cables dont take up much space at all, and even they wont work if the battery is dead to the point it just wont take a charge. That point is just lower for...

    Interesting take on vehicle modification

    I don't think anyone here says that you would be criminally responsible SOLELY based on the fact you are modded. But if your mods contributed to the cause or the damage, that's on you, especially they are beyond what the state allows. Criminal charges are serious for sure but not the only thing...

    Mounting Options for Front Aux Lights

    If you are looking for the one that mounts to the tow-hooks, I checked the website and saw nothing for our generation GM trucks (mine's a '14 GMC Sierra). Perhaps the stuff from 2010 fits. I dont know

    Mounting Options for Front Aux Lights

    Tow hooks still usable? Could we get a closer picture of how it mounts? Please and thank you

    Mounting Options for Front Aux Lights

    Theres a pain in the neck way to remove the grille on this generation GM truck, and use some aluminum or steel stock to mount in front of the condenser. Replace the grill to have the truck look stock but have the lights shine from behind the grill. Google Mark Jenkins with GMC Sierra. He has a...

    I believe one must be a Certified Coach Builder, or take your vehicle to one.

    Sure. you are liable if your car falls apart because you are responsible for proper maintenance. So, if your brake caliper comes loose and jams up your wheel, causing a crash, but you can prove you just had that brake work done at an ASE certified mechanic, then you have to present that proof...

    To pintle or not to pintle?

    1) How did you know that? 2) Why did they do that?

    That may very well be. So, of that is the case, the OP's original article by Wes Siler is all the more relevant.

    Interesting take on vehicle modification

    Sorry for any confusion. I didnt take your comment as callous. Minor accidents, I agree. They aren't likely to dig deep if nobody was seriously hurt. The bulk of my comments here have been related to worst case scenario stuff. Bodily damage, avulsion, lost appendages, brain injury or death, at...

    Interesting take on vehicle modification

    I beleive Drax could modify a vehicle in such a way as to make it more capable and more responsive. But if an investigation is conducted pursuant to a death, they see, say, a big slide in camper on a k1500, that sticker WILL be referenced and most slideins are deemed too heavy for 1500's. It...

    I am neither. However, the first paragraph is what happens in my state in accidents where death has occurred or is likely to occur after the fact. Second paragraph is simply how insurance and Registry of Motor Vehicles work in my state. By the way, those classes are put on by the National Safety...

    Interesting take on vehicle modification

    Driving overloaded is driving beyond safe parameters. I agree, you could do all of those mods and make your half ton handle and brake better than a 1 ton. But you would have to make those mods. That's kind of the point of the article is to make sure the mods you do make, are appropriate...
