I'd just get a bracket that hangs them from the hinges, but I'm used to TJ doors where the window frame is held on by two tiny spot welds.

Eaton still needs power to engage, it uses an electromaget just like the OE lockers, but the tooth engagement is much more than OE due to the pin-ramp design. The Yukon sounds like it's similar to the Detroit style locker that engages automatically with differential wheel spin. Those can have...

That demand smells like them offloading the liability to the customer rather than having to pay for their own insurance in case the car gets wrecked or stolen before delivery. "Please insure our car for us prior to it becoming your car" would have me laughing all the way out the door.

I wouldn't buy from Carvana, they have a well documented history of borderline fraud and at least poor business practices. They try to turn-and-burn sales so quickly that they often don't have titles in-hand for the cars they are selling. Search "Carvana Title Problems" some people have been...

The OE locker is mechanical, it's just actuated by a magnet instead of a cable or differential rotation like a Detroit locker. Eaton makes a different style, but it will disengage the locker momentarily if you change direction from forward to reverse or reverse to forward. Old school Toyota...

It makes the ride smoother on fire roads

Maybe they are still sore about the last time they tried this project of using off-the-shelf parts and vehicles, resulting in the M715. That was a horribly unreliable vehicle and I think it was slated to be retired from service before all the contracted examples were even delivered.

40" is quite a tire, fortunately how quiet a tire is depends more on the tread than the size.

Not paying attention to a source that testified in court under oath that they are "a current events entertainment network" and "no reasonable person" would confuse them with "news".

Unfortunately Bestop has become the latest example of “Private Equity ruins everything”

Funny, FAUXBY4 is the plate on my friend's Ridgeline. I was just behind one at a tunnel car wash. It took the driver and the attendant about 5 minutes to get the computer to go to Neutral and take off all the brake-hold assist features so they could send it through. The attendant apologized...

Headlights that follow the steering have been a thing since at least 1948.

Genuine question about responsibility scope with this partnership: Which company is going to make sure it rusts before the electrical system lets all the smoke out or catches fire?

With our powers combined, we can make the least reliable car since the Yugo!

Pretty sure I said that I have the OE LED lights.

Or leave them off. The OE LED headlights put out more light in a better pattern than all the headlights I've owned before combined. I almost never need the fogs, and when I do turn them on it's mostly when I've been caught out on the trail at night and just need maximum light output. I even...

This has been a feature on some cars for decades, but I don’t know about the compass. The Gladiator doesn’t do this.

Hetrochromia, cool!

Aluminum blocks are lighter weight - by a lot. They are also easier to cool. They are more expensive to make as strong as an iron block, so cost is probably the answer
