    Ram Powerwagon vs Chevy Colorado vs Jeep Wrangler Rubicon vs Suzuki Samurai for Snow?

Truck #2 - BFG KO2; Camper Shell and normal everyday cargo: Highlift Jack, Shovel, Tire Chains*2, 2 tie-down chains w/ binders...

    Goodyear Wrangler Ultra-Terrain AT - is this a new tire?

    It’s a Discount Tire specific brand - installed on a couple work trucks (1500 Suburban and 1500 PK) and they are respectable. We don’t put enough miles on the vehicles to tell how they wear. They seem to good all around AT tires.

    Perfect off-highway tire = LTX? What?

    Wouldn't the Micheline LTX A-T2 be the next step between the LTX and the BFGKO? Seems to have a bit more agressive look, but similar tire compound to the LTX? They would probably do better in the dirt, but have a bit less perforance in the ice/snow due to the lack of siping. I have run both the...

    Perfect off-highway tire = LTX? What?

    They are awesome tires, and deserve some respect. I can't tell you how many ranching trucks (one ton dodge, ford, and chevy) with these tires on them in Colorado. I would also state that most of these ranchers put more off road miles on their trucks through out the year than most of the expo...

    Inergy Solar Generator

    Who knows it’s suppose to last ten years. It must have a pretty hearty inverter because they comment on it running a washing machine.

    Inergy Solar Generator

    I was watching a you tube and the video flashed over this "Solar Generator." The 30 amp RV plug caught my attention. Seems a bit sill to go from 12vdc to 110VAC to use the RV trailer converter to drop it all back down to 12vdc. Also interesting that you can connect this to addiitional 12vdc...

    Big O Bigfoot AT or something else ??

    We use them on a couple of three trucks - and the operators seem happy with them. Big O is the closest tire dealer and they offer good service. The two of the trucks spend 80% of their time on dirt roads and covered with snow in winter. The other truck spends 85% of its time on the paved road...

    AEV Ram 1500 Recruit

    If the dealer is selling it as a new vehicle, then the origional vehicle waranty applies - what you have 60K miles to see how the transmission holds up and they will replace it under waranty. That is the buty of getting a vehicle that has been upfitted by the dealer. If its a good deal go for...

    Goodyear UltraTerrain AT Tire

    Deep Cycle Battery Setup: Your Experience + Why?

    If you can fit them 2x 6 volt golf cart batteries are far better than 2x Deep Cycle Batteries. The golf cart batteries are in series to get 12v as deep cycle batteries are in paralell. You will get more AH capacity - along with a battery that is designed for heavy duty use.

    Anyone using Cooper AT3 XLT tires?

    Wow pretty interesting looking at Coopers Website - I applaude them for actually showing their priviate branded tires they make for Pep Boys and Discount Tire. Most of the manufactures hide their private lable tires. However - what is the real diffference between the AT3, AT3LT, and the AT3XLT...

    aux lights and daytime running lights

    So my guess is that you are going to have to dig into the wires from the steering column and look for a the wire coming from the actual high beam switch. This feed should be able to provide enough power to trigger the normal high beam relay and the auxiliary light relay. I guess the other...

    aux lights and daytime running lights

    I think the problem the poster has is that when the head lights are off, the DRL are on. A lot of vehicles use the high beam as the DRL, but supply the headlight with reduces voltage to "dim" the light and make it last longer. It was/is pretty common/easy to tap the +12vdc going to the high beam...
