    Open Differentials vs. Traction Control vs. Lockers

    Thanks! My understanding is that they do well as long and both tires have some traction. If one comes up entirely, they don’t work. -m Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Open Differentials vs. Traction Control vs. Lockers

    Agreed, watching these clips, made me realize that I reach for that locker before trying a better line. Probably better to go for the better line first. I'll be thinking about that in the future. -M

    2012 Power Wagon Build w Smart Bar Mods

    I think we can all agree that the Ram Power Wagon is the best looking production 4x4 truck on the market today. No? Ok, well then. Can we at least all agree that with a factory lift, front and rear lockers, disconnecting sway bars and burly skid plates and guards and a 12,000 pound Warn...

    Major Metal Failure on the Aerotow

    No. Going to make it a winter project. I have decided to completely rebuild the frame and bolt the trailer body to the new frame. I'll finalize the design, then start cutting and grinding and welding... -M

    DIY Overlanding Pickup Truck Bed Rack for our Ford F-150

    I’m not going to go into the WHY of a bed rack like this. I think it’s a concept that isn’t super obvious since you can’t really carry lumber or big ladders on it. If you get it, awesome. There are a lot of off-the-shelf options to make a bed rack like this. The best designs I’ve seen are low...

    Did it require winching? We’re thinking 37s would do the trick. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Power Wagon on Snake Lake Trail, Tahoe National Forest

    Yeah, that's why we winched it. An 87 suburban would be a rad off roader I would think. -M

    Power Wagon on Snake Lake Trail, Tahoe National Forest

    The Snake Lake Jeep trail starts at Gold Lake in the beautiful Lakes Basin California. This is an area we’ve spend a bit of time over the years, but not nearly enough given how close it is to Reno. You could camp here every weekend for an entire season and never get bored. That’s a good idea...

    Major Metal Failure on the Aerotow

    So if anyone is following my Aerotow trailer project, I noticed that there was a MAJOR failure where the tongue assembly bolts to the structure of the trailer. It's all in the video, and the photos below. If you have an Aerotow, give it a check and think about reinforcing it a bit. I think...
