    Forma brand boots

    I have the forma adventure lows water proof version and they are dry almost to the top of the boot. Very nice comprise for the full height formas I have. I really like the cam buckle system. So the boot has been dry for me. If you are asking will it hold up in heavy rain, yes, if you have good...

    Tallest 275 pizza cutter

    You are stuck on 18’s? Is that just for appearances? As mentioned before there are a lot more options available in 17s and an extra 1/2 inch of rubber on the bottom over the 18s is more ride compliant. Weight is another concern. Just a 10 pound addition per tire will be noticeable. I just...

    Solid state batteries will make electric expedition vehicles practical.

    Typically they result in deaths to onsite personnel and some environmental damage if a fossil fuel is involved. The nuclear reactors are in buildings designed to contain a hydrogen explosion, steam explosions are easily contained in those buildings. You have to try real hard to put radioactive...

    What Half-Ton Truck & Why

    Almost died???? Be more careful pulling out in front of something!!! I have never had that issue in my 2019 3.5 eb. Actually I find much poorer acceleration in the v8s I drive. That .1 second lag with the turbo is more than made up for when it kicks in. The v-8s are dogs at low rpm’s and...

    Solid state batteries will make electric expedition vehicles practical.

    That is something isn’t it??? Who would have thought those companies would be proposing new nuclear plants? Unfortunately, data centers require lots of reliable power 24 hours a day 365 days a year and unless you go gas or coal nuclear is the only viable option. It is important to note that...

    Solid state batteries will make electric expedition vehicles practical.

    TMI is the only applicable one. The others are either not commercial or not in the USA. There was not just ‘one’ event that caused that. There are plenty of detailed reports on that if you wish to read any of them. The last time we had this discussion I linked numerous articles from town...

    Solid state batteries will make electric expedition vehicles practical.

    I believe we had this discussion before. What when and where was that ‘one’ stupid mistake? How many deaths or how much environmental damage has been done anywhere in the US from commercial nuclear power plants?? Do you have any facts???

    Will Jeep and Ram Truck Prices Take a Steep Dive Soon?

    They should sell two door wrangler soft tops manual shift stripped down for 25k. Get rid of the extra battery and that silly electric help, have a mid sized screen, blue tooth and abs. No carpet. No navigation. No electric seats, roll down windows. They would sell thousands. The Miata of off...

    Advice on Shock Absorbers for Overland LJ

    The ranchos are adjustable and inexpensive. May solve your ride issues on different surfaces. They are relatively inexpensive. How many miles do you expect to put on the Jeep? Also, how much do you air down? This is very effective for me on washboards and such.

    New To Us D5: Impressions and Comparisons to LR3

    Nice trip report and I love a disco but come on now. Almost 2” less ground clearance as a stock jeep with 32s, so about the same as an Outback. No lockers or transfer case so limited to only where an Outback could go. Not close to the same thing off road, it cannot go the same places as a stock...

    NPS fines AWD owners…

    My experience with my wrangler rubicon and f150 on difficult terrain was I used 4 lo mostly for long steep slippery descents (like in the rain) where consequences were not something you wanted to dwell on. Definitely kept the braking to a minimum. Sometimes on climbs which were very steep and...

    Some aren’t pure gutter mount, they use the rear window hinge mounting point.

    NPS fines AWD owners…

    Yes, the definition is pretty straightforward, thanks for fining it BRit! I looked into this when applying for my white rim road pass. Made perfect sense to me considering the time involved to drag a vehicle out of there. Also in DV on some parts IIRC. Subaru needs a 4lo box like they had years...
