Well, there IS the volcano...

True but then you are talking about starting off with a 20 year old vehicle. Unless you do all those same mods with a modern vehicle and that's money, or time or both. Personally I have a GMC Sierra 1500, but for this, I do agree a 2500 gasser is the most likely answer. Agree Dodge RAM...

I see what you are writing. I have no reason to disbelieve you per se. Seems like you are in the industry and I am not. Call it a product of growing up in the 70's and 80's if you want, but I just cant seem to think Nuclear is safe. Maybe very few bad things happen, but when they do, it can...

If you know what equipment was handed out in the aftermath of Thee Mile, for the purpose of collecting information on how much radiation had leaked, then you know it was insufficient. It's easy not to see a broken bone when you dont run an x-ray, you can say there are no confirmed broken bones...

Three Mile Island reactor 2 (meltdown 1979) Half the locations near and downwind of test sites in Nevada, Bimini Island, etc. Closing Yankee Row (safety 1991) , Elk River (leaks, 1968, Fermi 1(partial meltdown 1966, closed 1972), Three Mile Island 1 (2019 no more subsidy) and any number of...

Three Mile Island reactor 2 (1979). The subsequent restart of reactor 1 was mind boggling. Half the locations near and downwind of test sites in Nevada, Bimini Island, etc. Closing of Yankee Row, Elk River, Fermi 1, Three Mile Island 1 (2019) and any number of other nuclear power stations...

Um...no. I hope not. The environmentalists back in the day would roll over in their graves that the environmentalists today are advocating this, when it was everything they could do to get plants shut down in the 80', 90's and 00's. It's not that it doesn't produce enough power or anything...

Maybe with gaiters?

Ah! What L. L. Bean and Chippewa used to be. I can say that I'm not a hunter per se (though I have hunted) but I will be looking for a pair of the moc toes for my next pair of boots. Big supporter of this ideal.

Alright. Gasoline = 6 lbs per gallon. 5 gal Jerry can so that's 30 pounds plus weight of can itself and bolt on holder. Times two. So you are adding almost 70 pounds and affixing it just to sheet metal. Bad idea if you go over bumps it wont be long before you wallow out the holes and it all...

I remember the side mirror controls of an old Chevy Malibu I had - later years, 80's, square body model. Same for the impalas of the same generation. There was a small lever in the dash to the lower right of the steering wheel, that connected via a non-electrical cable to the passenger side...

Yes. However, I have to admit I'm a bit of a dichotomy. Part of the reason (aside from initial quality and longevity) Honda was able to do so well is they offered the Civic and Accord in 3 or 4 packages. That's it. DX base models, LX mid range, and EX top of the line. Maybe an HX and an Si...

True, sir. That's how I got my '14 Sierra z71. Was looking at new Trail Boss Custom (as bare bones as they came) when they came out. They had so many incentives and give backs if I was trading in a Dodge, but little to nothing for me who had driven GM since the 1990's. I turned, got a used...

^^^ On an international forum of grown-ups (gotta be able to drive, right?) we can not even refer to a Fortune 500-listed, narional sporting goods chain store by its proper name, which is actually the first name of a real person without the filter blotting it out? I had to look up Galyans and...

Yep. Wanted a Pendleton for some time. Prices are high but definitely a quality item to last a lifetime. Soon as I free up some cash from other ventures. Maybe I will buy a few pair less of Darn Tough socks over the next year or two. Trying to focus on quality, not quantity. And this is...

I'm sorry? Did you say charging from 10% to 100% would cost over $432 and get 1,000 miles? That's $216 for 500 miles No doubt I'm missing the point here, but call me when the cost isn't two and three times what it cost me now. Then, THEN, I'll be excited. This brings to mind all the fuss...

^^^ Right now the last bastion of that type of vehicle is renting a uhaul work truck Silverado. Single cab, 8 foot bed, 2wd.

Alright. Agree with all this. Just did the transmission in my 14 GMC Sierra a little over a year, year and a half ago. Least worst decision for my pocket. Like you said. Two door vehicles? Can't find them. I was a big fan of the full size Chevy Blazer, which only ever came in 2 door...

Go with the Silvy then. Kick-ass more hauling in a 2500 than a 1500. If you use a 2500 for what you use a 1500 for, it'll last forever

Right?!
