Great job!

I got some Yokohama Geolander A/T G015 installed on my truck last fall. I chose them for their good wear and wet traction ratings. They are smooth and quiet. They have the snowflake symbol for severe snow service. I think they are a good choice, if you want an AT tire, but will do mostly...

Just camping, I swear!

I think that over a ten year span they could sell between 300 and 700 units a year. (Just guessing) How many do you think would put their money where their mouth is? Unfortunately, none of the mainstream automakers are going to make that investment to sell so few units. It cost so much to...

If the tires look good, with no cracking and obvious signs of dry-rot, you could likely delay replacing them. You could likely buy a single used tire of similar age and quality for very cheap for your spare. Then, in a couple years when the tires start to not look so good, you could replace...

I'm a midsize truck driver. The truck serves commuting duty during the week. I really prefer the ease of parking at the grocery store or shopping mall compared to a full size truck. I love having the ability to move large bulky items, like lumber, couches / furniture, lawn mowers...

I agree, it certainly does seem like Jeep listened to what their customers wanted, and actually made some of it happen. I always like to see that.

I've seen videos of this system in action. I was very impressed. It worked perfectly as far as I could tell.

I've tried that, but the technique did work as well as I was hoping. It seemed like the front disc brakes grab much more than the rear drum brakes on my truck. So, to get enough braking to "lock the rear diff, the front brakes were really fighting my forward motion. Sent from my SM-G903W...

My GM pick up had the OEM auto-locking diff. I was pretty happy with it off road. You just needed to keep on the throttle long enough to get the wheelspin required to lock it up. It's a little awkward for rock crawling, but most don't do a lot of that. On road, the abrupt engagement was not...

For some reason I was not excited for the release of the premier. I did not love the Central America season as much as some of the other productions, but I think that was more a result of my lack of interest in Central America as a destination, and not so much a fault of the show. That said, I...

Interesting. I was curious how many AEV actually made.

Ok, that is awesome.

Very interesting, thank you for sharing the link. I think one of the key issues with some popular snow tires is the lack of open circumferential grooves, like all season tires tend to have. Snow tires often have a more zig-zag type of tread pattern, which helps with forward propulsion and...

Why do you think winter / ice tires have poor hydroplaning resistance? I've literally never read that before. Sent from my SM-G903W using Tapatalk

To each their own, eh. I like the balloonish look.

I'm a cost conscious buyer too, so I won't be buying a $60,000 truck either, but some people have money to spend. In hopes of making a good apples to oranges comparison, I just did a build and price on a Toyota minivan. After I took the top trim, added some tech, protection, and cargo...
