After doing a little research the answer has become clear. Honda's new 2K generator is actually a 2.2 K generator with a constant run time of 1800 watts. Yamaha's 2K generator is a 2K generator with a constant run of 1600 Watts. Honda seems to be the better option for me.

You have to be realistic with your expectations when it comes to power usage. These 2K generators are only like one circuit in your house. If you plug multiple power hunger devices into one circuit in your home and try to run them all at the same time you're going to blow that circuit. You will...

In the original post the question is experienced with a Chevy Astro van. Not how reliable that is compared to a new vehicle. Comparing a new vehicle to use vehicle is like comparing apples to oranges. I don't think there's many people that expect to get to 15 year old vehicle sight unseen and...

I guess it will be Yamaha or Honda. I already have a regular loud one for when the power goes out. I want a quiet one for camping and I can also use it when my power goes out as a back up. I live a out there and power outages happen but rarely for more than 8 hours. Usually from frozen...

If it's from Harbor freight and it's a wrench or other object I will use a few times or has a lifetime warranty that's fine but if it has an engine or motor, nope. Years ago i bought a bunch of pneumatic and electricc tools from HF and they all failed within a year. I bought a 12 volt...

You can have a 15 year old reliable vehicle. The chances of a 15 year old vehicle having an issue is greater than the chances of a brand new vehicle but once you pass a few years any vehicle can have issues. just like there are newer vehicles that are more reliable than other newer vehicles...

Honda and Yamaha both make a 2k quiet generator as do many other off brands. Most are about half the price. I would assume most will be crap but it seems Generac makes one for less. Anybody have any experience with 2k quiet generators?

The 4.3 seems to be reliable. My kid has a 97 s-10 with just over 200k and the 4.3 it runs fine. His is a 5 speed, when we bought this one it seemed many from this time area that had auto trans had trans issues, no sure if the would be an issue with the newer ones. As far as the spider? We...

Make sure you check for rust. For me it would be easy, the XJ. Make sure you check for rust. Parts are common, it is a capable platform and simple to modify and maintain. Make sure you check for rust. l would get the 4.0 and if possible a 5 speed. Make sure you check for rust.

I am running 33X12.5 R15.

I have been running the Falkens ATs for about 12k miles, they aren't really showing any wear. I was wheeling on some muddy trials and a mud hole over the weekend. They do pretty well in mud and clean out instantly. Others I was with were running various mud terrains and my Flaken ATs cleaned...

I had an 01 Grand with the select trac and the 4.0. It allows for 2wd, part time 4 (traditional 4wd) and full time 4 wheel drive (all wheel drive using a viscous coupler to help spread the power as needed). All positions have their purposes but like malibubts spoke of the Viscous Coupler has...

We got some that look like that at work. They work as good as any inexpensive can I have used. The nozzles suck no worse than others. I also have the military specter cans they are nothing alike. We also have some similar to the ones that were sold a Costco from a while back. They were more...

Not sure what state you are in but I have never seen wiring design have anything to do with the legality of lights. More often it is how high or low to the ground, pattern, number of lights, candlepower or other ways to measure the brightness of the light. check here for state by state laws...

We have Stanley hydraulic stuff and work and it is very high end stuff but the hand tools I have seen from them are Walmart big box lower price stuff. Sockets are good enough, wrenches are good enough but anything that ratchets are not so good. I have some 20 plus year old Craftsman ratchets...

I would think the jump studs would be ideal. They're designed to handle enough power to start your vehicle. I would think they should be able to easily handle whatever power it takes to run a compressor. For your ground I would think you would want it as close to the compressor as possible.

The ratchet for the sockets matters big time. As for a combination wrench cheap ones break easier but I would skimp here before I would skimp on a ratchet. For trail tools I like cheap kits because of the cases, it is easy to see what is missing. For me the important up grades are the ratchet...

Mine is mounted in the back of the Jeep with room to breath. I have run it in hot MO weather and had no issues. It does get very hot to the touch though. The gauges is not correct, but it is consistent. Once you figure out where you want to inflate your tires back to make a mark on the gauge...

I have a $70 Walmart smart phone that has a hot spot and a $35 a month plan. It is unlimited but it does slow down at some point. You can get a faster plan. for $45 a month Kids use it for movies and games on their tablets while we travel.
