When I was in high school, I came across a University research paper that ran from the '60s to the '80s. They took 10,000 people and followed them through life. Half watched their weight, diet, exercise etc. the other just lived. The health conscientious had a lower life expectancy by about 6...
Three years with Airlifts. I run 3psi empty and only 10-12 loaded. Love them. Just have to remember to dump air when off roading.
I ran the air line to the rear bumper and drilled out what would be a lower license plate bolt for the fitting.
Install was super easy, jacked up the truck to give...
Didn’t sand, cleaned then acetone, applied deader and HotHeads. Parked in the 95F sun for a couple hours then pressed firmly into place again.
That was 3 years ago and they have seen -12F and 110F with no problems. I would recommend them to anyone.
John, you say they were rock solid in that downpour. Did you ask them to do anything important, or were you able to gently roll along?
Tires to me are only as good as their 'Oh shit' capabilities. Once you have to drive defensively because of a shortage in tire performance, time to get new...
@Zachanadandy because I do all the stupid things on a trail with a stock JTR and 35's, I have to run them SLOW so that when I drag skids I am not slamming things.
@Heavy D I believe that the 3.6 was designed for turbos, so the bottom end is fine. Getting the tune right was the problem, but I...
Zach, that's where I have to disagree. The difference between 1 mph and needing 0.5 mph is HUGE.
(as WILDHOBO says, that is the extreme end and most people will never see that)
I put my stock JTR on 35's through some crap and I need the brake pedal more than the accelerator on trails. 4.88's...
They are a MUST for sand, you never know when you will hit a soft spot and sink a tire. They key is immediately stopping and grabbing boards not burying all 4 tires. Which can still be saved .....with 4 boards.
Yes, they can be used for bridging but also do not stick to rocks. They simply slide...
Yes, I would definitely run that. Double plug it if you have to. It is in the tread, not the sidewall. You are not running 100 mph anywhere with those 37"s. Run it and keep an eye on the pressure.
An actual patch from the inside would be ideal, but I would not hesitate to drive that. Rotate...
Loctite....... one of the Boozefighters MC members used to make sure his bike was parked outside for every rain storm. If it hadn't rained in a while he would go piss on it. Rusted the nuts and bolts tight enough to not rattle loose while racing...........
@BlackRuby23 My last truck was 17 years old and required starting fluid very time. One before that was 30 years old and rusted away. Yup, slapping down this kind of cash was HARD! 64K miles later, I still enjoy jumping in it everyday.
You have to shop your insurance. We have been with the...
@ShadowsPapa this was a fairly packed hay field. We used to be park our buses on it in the summer. Always loaded there because it was packed hard. No rain for over a week, there is no reason that truck sunk, but it did.
This situation with the Bronco in snow, is just a dumb situation. We don’t...
Had a grain truck sink into the ground (had been dry for a week) once it was loaded, hooked a 130hp and a 95hp tractor to it with 9/16" chains. I threw my Carhart over the chain on the big tractor and someone did the same on the smaller one. Well, the big tractor snapped the chain. Sounded like...
