I watched a bunch of torque test channel on youtube before getting my impact wrench at Harbor Freight. I don't generally use it for tightening except in short, controlled bursts (I used to be a machine gunner, same principle) before doing final torque with a wrench. I find the real value in it...
First things on my Gladiator were bed liner and a bullet point phone mount. I would absolutely do both of these again; my liner cost less than the factory option and turned out really well. I love the bullet point mount.
On my wrangler I installed some cheap Amazon fender flares. I'm pretty...
I’ve got 11 years experience driving in South Dakota winters in a JK with the same binding issue; It hasn’t been anything worse than an annoyance so far.
Ive Gotten stuck bad enough that I couldn’t self recover twice, once on the original 29” tires and once on 32’s. Both times were in snow...
I am confident these are fantastic, but as a 15 year Army Veteran anything described as "military grade" makes me not want to buy it.

I know this isn't helpful at all, but the solution is to avoid California.
Fun fact: In South Dakota you are required to have wind shield washers. You are not required to have a wind shield.

No idea about this specific product but I've got Oedro fenders on my JK. They have held up well over two South Dakota winters without any rusting. My only complaint is that I wish they were wider.
I keep a bag of ducks in my gladiator; my family tries to spread them like candy on Halloween.
My gladiator hasn't been ducked yet; but I have three for my Wrangler and it always makes me happy. Amazon sells duck mounts; I'm thinking of mounting them upside down above the windshield. I have a...
