I like Rigid brand tool boxes from Home Depot, they have weatherproof seals on the lids and can take a beating. Milwaukee is another option with their Packout series - the down side is people may try to take them because they think there are valuable tools inside, so I keep them under a tonneau...

Yeah, just be gentle with it. In the mud you can power through, out here it's the "Make problems bigger and happen faster" pedal. Also, don't be afraid to shift out of 4 and into 2 if you have the make a really tight turn - you will absolutely feel the driveline bind in 4 low on the slickrock.

Spinning both rear tires and leaving burnout marks - which is unlikely in RWD without a limited slip or engaging the rear locker. More than likely it's a 1-wheel-peel, the ol' peg-leg burnout.

As I said, it's all about use case. In Moab, where I do almost all my wheeling, broken 5.13s in a Dana 44 are pretty common, but almost never with 4.88s. I'd happily and reliably run 5.13s if I wheeled in the Appalachian mountains, or even the Pacific Northwest's loamy soil, but on the very...

The question of gearing depends a lot on your environment and if you're running a Dana 44 axle; if you're in an environment that's slippery, muddy, or has loose soil then there's no real problem with the 5.13 gears and a Dana 44. If you are in Moab or other environments with very high traction...

I doubt it, more than likely they changed the design again and either forgot to tell anyone or no one connected the dots that old designs are still out there and need the old-style replacements. The way things were packaged doesn't indicate a return; I bet the long backorder wait for these was...

Believe it or not, this is still not over. I finally got enough of a break to the weather on a day I could pull my entire top off and replace the rails. First the good news: Bestop appears to have ended the "bring your kid to work day" that resulted in the previous butchery, so we have that...

Probably because they are protecting their renewable resources, like stable fisheries, which makes a lot of economic sense in the long term. The failure of anti-renewable pundits is a glaring lack of awareness of interdependent systems or anything beyond the next quarterly report.

The UK still has a lot of homes burning oil for heat and over 80% of UK homes use natural gas boilers for heat. The cost of heating is one of the reasons they have been building out their domestic energy production infrastructure. The cost of natural gas in the European market was far too...

And updating equipment to something more efficient sure seems like a good solution for that. The fact is renewables are the way to go, it's just harvesting energy that's part of the environment. The UK, for example, passed over 50% of their energy production being from renewables. No matter...

Uh, check your facts, Ivanpah isn't closed, they had proposed closing in 2026 to update equipment to a different collection method, but that is currently on hold and the facility remains operational. It currently produces 392 megawatts. The main reason for the proposed closure was because in...

Who said anything about banning the use of petroleum products? You can't even do a brake job on an EV without greasing the slide pins - but I think I have a diagnostic code for people who think it's the same as just lighting oil on fire for fuel.

You know that show is fiction and the amount of oil consumed to make renewable energy is inconsequential compared to burning it for fuel, right? Stop getting your information from entertainment shows.

You can doubt it, but during COVID we got hard data - which shows the majority of our pollution is from transportation of all kinds and over a third of our pollution is from on-road vehicles. Sorry, man, I've been hearing that same tired line for way too long. You can go check the studies...

Which is more than enough for me to get to work and back. Plus, unlike every dickhead driving around with a 30-pack of Natural Light in the passenger seat, I don't go out to the woods to hear my own engine. Being able to shut that off for short periods and creep up on the wildlife would be...

The security module is way up in there, remove the panel under the steering column, then lay on your back and jam your head down by the brake pedal. Go look at videos of Tazer Mini installs, it will show you exactly where the module is and how to access it.

Indeed, but there were still serious problems unrelated to emissions requirements. Poor quality control, poor reliability; the fact that my truck is about to go to the shop to get a new hood, drivers door, passenger front door, driver's rear door, and tailgate (it should be all 4 doors, but the...

This has been the case for HD since ... hang on (checks notes) ... 1929.

Is “woke” what HD owners call engine geometry less than 70 years old? 🤣

I like the electronic readout ones, you get to see at exactly how many torques righty-tighty became righty-loosey
