    Plastic-free replacement cup for 32oz Stanley thermos

    Stanley has a line they used to call the Master series, now called the Forge Series. Stainless steel cup with silicone "top" (bottom of cup so that it doesn't scuff, top when screwed on). Expensive when new from Stanley something to the tune of $75, or $50 at a Marshalls/ TJMaxx store. But...

    Dedicated Snow Tire

    We've had a couple of mild snows this past month or so, 6 inches of light powder or less. Today and overnight we are slated for somewhere between 6 inches to a foot. I've seen some bigger and some smaller flakes. Let's see what we get

    Dedicated Snow Tire

    I'm no mechanic or tire tech but personally I'd be wary of mounting and unmounting every 6 months or whatever. So, so much easier just to get a set of steelies, m ou until the snows on them and just swap out wheels.

    Those look nice. Do you have a shot of the tread pattern? If I recall years and years ago, the General Grabber had a sort of dog bone pattern that was very similar to the BFG A/T KO. And back then the Grabber was less expensive, so a better deal.

    I had dedicated snows on rims of their own. Seems the best way to go. Simple steelies

    Dedicated Snow Tire

    Co-rect. Only good for ice and compacted snow. I gotta believe they came about because way way back, roads weren't plowed at all. They took a team of horses out and instead of a buggy behind them, it was a big metal drum like a steam roller. That's why Aldo sleighs were used, as the...

    Dedicated Snow Tire

    The "snow set and summer set" was what I was originally aiming for. I have nice aluminum alloy rims that came with the truck and they had Yokohama street tires on them. But wanted snow set and got the tires and rims I pictured above. When the street tires and the snow tires both wore out, I...

    Dedicated Snow Tire

    I would agree to this. However. .Just looking at it, and understanding there is a difference in compound and all, the BFG AT KO2 looks just as capable as my Cooper Discoverer Mud + Snow that I just posted. Cooper may have more sipes, I'd have to look closer to the BFG, but tread and clearing...

    Dedicated Snow Tire

    Studeed vs not, I think, depends largely on how your state handles snow. I have heard, though I dont know for sure, that Colorado does not plow right down to pavement and zone there are certain places that require studded snows or at least require snows. Massachusetts plows down to the...

    Dedicated Snow Tire

    Had studded Cooper Discoverer dedicated snow tires mounted to the GM 17 inch, 7 spoke steel rims. They were great in the cold, wet, icy, snowy New England weather. Highly recommend them, studded or not. ^^^you can probably just make them out there. Just after a little snow a couple years...

    Jeep Prices Dropping?

    Jeep has long been known for electrical problems. My old WJ was famous. Battery clamp broke and not enough cable to reach after installing new clamp. Interior lights wouldn't shut off after closing door and trying to alarm it. The problem? A broken ground wire inside the bundle that is in...
