    Lipstick on a Pig: The 10 Don'ts of Vehicle Modifications

    Scott, that is a fun list. Those pics are awesome. What are the cool kids using for communication if not a CB? In a group of 2-6 vehicles traveling off pavement, I still find the CB effective? What am I issing?

    Tactical or Traditional Rifle?

    kind of related.., but when I think about a menacing gun, I think of my 1903 Springfield 30.06, with a wood sportorized stock and 3-9 scope. I have put some large holes in deer with that gun. I think I would want to be shot twice with an AR 15, rather than once with the '06. Actually I don't...

    Air Options...

    I am very happy with air built into my Warn winch. It is roughly $500 more than a winch alone and is plug and play. I run 35s.

    Seat covers?

    I bought a set of ballistic nylon seat covers from Cover King, this year. When I got them I was stoked. The fit was perfect and they seemed high quality. However after ~8 months, they are deteriorating quickly. Large fuzzies on the edge from sliding in and out, The seems are failing and...

    Special Needs Child

    For on reason or another, a lot of people switch vehicles every 3-4 years. You say he's 11 months. I would buy something that works for your situtation now, and look for something else in a few years. Escpecially if it is your primary vehicle and you rack a lot of miles.

    What year Astro?

    I have been thinking about an Astro Van. 92 to 97 are falling in my price range. I am also looking at the overland 4" lift. There appears to be a cutoff at 95. First generation vs. second. Does one have an advantage of the other? I have found out that the older ones have fiberglass springs...

    problem with starting

    Sounds like a bad starter, if it won't crank, bang on the starter with a hammer while someone cranks. If it starts it almost for sure the starter. make sure your friend (the cranker) does not run you over

    Ruger LCP

    I carried a .380 Bryco (el Cheapo) for 10 years. I found that if I left the clips loaded for weeks on end, i would get jams. You might do well to empty and reload the clips often to exercise the spring. I love the size, good choice. I switched to a hammerless revolver, but still like the...

    Random dog shots

    I had the exact looking dog from 84-98. She too was from the AS. Over the years I have seen many with that shape and coloring. I don't think it's a specific breed is it? Mine was the sharpest/smartest dog I've ever seen. She could learn any trick in 5 mnutes. We taught her to sneeze and...

    Camping with a weapon

    I'm with Obgloblahblahblah, I too carry a compact, hammerless, 5 shot revolver for the same reasons. Though mine is an airlight, I think only 11-12 ounces, so not much of a blunt object.:sombrero: The small size means I always have it. I probably would choose to not carry a larger semi in...

    OverlandXT Hi-Lift Tube Adapter

    I can't see the pictures in the first post, but from the pictures I saw on the Trasharoo site, I cant tell what this thing does for you. Anyone have any better pictures? edit: never mind it's for lifting a vehicle with tube bumpers/rockers, correct?

    What´s the problem with the Jeep

    Have to agree, i love how simple the 91+ 4.0s are to work on. Just the right amount of power for a properly geared YJ/TJ/XJ. Nice low end for off road too. My buddy swapped a 360 into his YJ and had to run at 3-4K rpms to get anywhere. edit: He switched to a cherocar 4.0 and auto tranny and...
