    Light bar vs spot lights.

    Yeah - my lights from Amazon were very inexpensive - the top one committed suicide by sucking up any and all moisture it could from the atmosphere. The bottom one was killed by a flying rock from a big rig - but up to that point it had impressed me as it was a much better quality light than the...

    For whatever reason, brain malfunction possibly, I erroneously typed in 2012 in my second post in this - it's a 2007.

    Light bar vs spot lights.

    Which light bar? Most of the cheaper Amazon stuff is combo beam - meaning the outer portion of each side is flood pattern for width while the middle is spot for distance. Baja racers typically use two light bars - one on the roof that is SPOT only and very narrow (orderable this way from BD) and...

    Anti-Sway Bars with RTT?

    I appreciate all of the info offered up. I can drive - I've been doing so since I was 13, learned how to drive in Walker Evans race truck, raced pro mx, am an NHRA licensed advanced ET drag racer, and have been driving in various forms of dirt most of my life. Now, I will say this - I am...

    Seat covers (cloth/synthetic) OVER leather seats?

    No argument on DIY - I'm just so slammed for time right now that I'm finding it a challenge to even have a meal with my family at the moment. I saw some very cool custom covers in Hilux being built for SEALs and it was being shipped to Afghanistan. Serious little rig - fully armored, IR lights...

    Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 first drive reviews

    FWIW - I've got just under 180K miles on my 02 Avalanche. No plans to get rid of it.

    Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 price check

    That is REALLY good to know that some of them actually understand the more strategic picture here.

    Oops - D44 rear. The dealer (new car store) only knows what's being pulled up as factory installed options per the VIN. For instance - they are adding $100 for "Oversized Offroad tires" per the factory installed option, but it clearly has undersized street tread tires on it now. Their...

    How long do kids like camping?

    We are a blended family. My two daughters (aged 23 and 20) are just now getting into it. My other two daughters (aged 18 and 15) still love it. Hopefully, the exploration side of things, getting off the beaten path, and doing things that most others (generally speaking) don't get to do - sticks...

    Need Some Quick Input

    Thank you all for the replies - please keep them coming. As I mentioned, one of our daughters has a 95 YJ SE. In the two years we've had it, it has been a constant nightmare, I have done more wrenching on it than I care to mention. The things beyond my ability have been to completely rebuild the...

    Suspension Upgrade & GVWR

    If the accident is that bad then all of the fluids will be on the pavement and all your stuff will be scattered about - so all that weight will be gone. LOL.

    Need Some Quick Input

    Hi Guys - the youngest daughter is wanting to get a Jeep as her first car (she has saved her own money). We have found a 2007 Wrangler Unlimited X hardtop. Auto, 3.8L, 4WD, etc. Looks to be all stock (we are going to look at it in a few hours). Also doesn't look like it has much (if any) trail...

    Seat covers (cloth/synthetic) OVER leather seats?

    Hey Martin -I'm in the same boat as you except my interior is North Face - the custom green leather, grey Kevlar. My driver's seat lower now has a hole from sliding in and out and the leather is starting to let go in a few other spots. I've been looking for a good heavy canvas cover that has...

    Maybe I missed it.... Action Camera Mounts

    GoPro - I just simply stuck the flat piece in the center of my dash. Went out with a buddy last weekend and he had placed the plastic adhesive mount on the outside upper passenger corner of his windshield and another on the outside of the upper passenger corner of his rear window. Nothing fancy...

    Suspension Upgrade & GVWR

    GVWR as stated by the manufacturer: 1) Is very conservative; 2) Is based on the configuration of the vehicle AS THEY SOLD IT. Note - manufacturers (unless you are specifically buying an HD vehicle -which will have an expected harsh ride), install softer suspension, undersized tires, and too soft...

    Why is Howling Moon So Bad at Business?

    I just swapped over from HM and ordered up an Eezi-Awn. I have heard nothing but great things about Tepui customer service - but about 50-50 on the quality - and thus the need to put that customer service to the test. I have no experience with Tepui tents, so I'm just going based on literally 9...
