There is no conclusive way to know short of a brain biopsy, however if a coyote or skunk shows no fear of humans to the point of being within ten feet of me while being aware of my presence, I don't stop and ask.

Never had to use it but when in bear country I feel better with a big stick. 12 ga at night. Variety of handguns, but no matter what the handgun it will always be underpowered. People talk about the 44 mag like it is a howitzer, it has about the power of a 30-30 and that isn't my top choice...

I do. My level of armament changes as the situation changes. Where I am at currently, my biggest concern is predators of the two legged variety, and even out here in the middle of nowhere we have a problem with them. When on vacation, I tend to head to high country and arm appropriately for...

I belong to the 2wd most of the time crew. 4Lo is nice for when you want more control. I live in an area where the roads are MUD when it is rainy and rutted and rocky when it is dry but really don't use 4hi all that much, driving technique will get you through more than you think. I probably...

All the vehicles I buy seem to have been driven by an elderly couple who didn't drive much too...huh. Just kidding haha. Cherokee is a great platform with lots of aftermarket support. Very capable in stock form, you can go a lot further than you think. The 4.0, AW4, 231 combo is hard to beat...

It won't hurt a thing to switch back and forth. I love the synthetic oils, more consistent size on the molecular level gives better lubricity as well as the additive packages aid in cleaning. My Tundra has almost 100k on it and the oil drains out after 5k looking brand new.

When you need a winch, in general, the terrain is definitely not conducive to vehicular travel, let alone walking. I had a receiver mounted winch but it is big and bulky, hard to get deployed when you really need it, especially if it is slippery or steep. The other disadvantage is that you...

I appreciate your insight! Yes, with rural practice that is one of the pitfalls I have seen others go through especially since I am strongly considering a surgery specialty as well. Our local General Surgeon is the only one for about an hour in any direction so call is especially strenuous for...

Have run several sets of them. They wear well and have great road manners while having good grip off road. Have 30k on my current set with little noticeable wear.

Awesome looking truck man. Have done a few J series but now I'm going to have to find a FC...

Most of the vehicle fires I have responded to were either intentionally set for insurance or revenge or due to aftermarket equipment malfunction. Some of the hack wiring jobs I have seen makes me amazed we don't see more car-b-q's.

Reliability and longevity are the main issues. They aren't that bad to work on, just not something I would buy as a technician for sure. The stickers would certainly help haha

Impressive list of mods. Sounds like a very formidable and fun rig. However, the old saying among technicians who have worked on Chrysler products for a while is stay away from anything ending in 7...2.7, 4.7...5.7.
