    Lithium Ion jump pack failed today during a jump, looking for ideas on what happened?

    Typically they fail in such a manner after developing an internal short circuit, something this style of battery is increasingly well known for.. https://batteryuniversity.com/article/bu-304a-safety-concerns-with-li-ion

    Suspension Lifts and the Affect on Wheelbase..

    The strange places my mind wanders, anyone else want to go on the journey with me? LOL Okay, so I'm sure it is no surprise to most of the members here that when we lift our trucks, the wheelbase shortens, unless longer radius and/or trailing arms are used. It's just the nature of the fact that...

    Land Rover ideas for Jeeps

    I like the nearly stock yellow one the best (but I'm biased). Looks like it was an Arkonik build, but not there to be showcased as a build, but as part of the Battery Tender display? Odd that they'd choose a Defender (with the battery under the seat) and showcase it with the hood open and the...

    235/85/16? Let's see them

    Yeah, I miss my Disco too. For me it was the perfect combo (SD, White, 5 Speed Manual) and lifted/accessorized just right. Unfortunately it was on track to need its second gearbox and transfer case, thanks to a mistake by the installer of the first new set that damaged the output flange seal...

    2007 HZJ79 in the US?

    There are lots of ways around things, not likely that it is legal, but that's not to say it hasn't been done. That being Said, Montana has a raputation for being the easiest place to 'shelter' a vehicle.. https://www.dirtlegal.com/blog/why-is-everyone-registering-their-car-in-montana

    Shooters Hearing Protection

    I wouldn't think that the Peltor ANC isn't going to make it quieter than you experienced with the over-the-ear and foam combination, I'd expect it to be louder.. With an NRR of only 19 ("Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 19dB") I certainly would want secondary in-the-ear protection, either foam...

    In Praise of the Humble Rental Car

    The One Way fee is generally pretty cost prohibitive in my experience. I rented a Minivan to take out daughter to college this year (MD to TX), intending to drive one way, turn the car in and fly home, but the one way drop fee alone was MORE than the 8 day rental I ended up with driving it both...

    Cause is currently 'In Vouge'. Who knows how long it will last, but it makes some people feel cooler than others I guess. Fuels the market though, so I guess we benefit from the innovation and keeping these vendors around, and able to back their products..

    The first successful automobile overland drive across the US ended 120 years ago today

    I sometimes daydream about running the Trans-American Trail in my road going tractor, but the reality is it is like a luxury car in comparison, and the level of actual adventure (on a fully mapped route, most times not far from civilization/infrastructure) is pretty much nil in comparison...
