A seat belt extender works too. It also helps my bad shoulder get the belt snapped in

For my environment picking up and throwing big rocks is all an AT is good for. As far as MT’s are concerned most are load range E and they pack up with mud just like the rest. You are better not to try to spin a tire around here to clear mud or when that flint rips your tire open you’ll be changing tires in the mud.

I get my best performance from a street tire at about 27lbs air

I have a theory about all this "over-protection" prevalent in today's society. I call it The Bike Helmet Theory.

Back in the early 1980's, bike helmets were everywhere. What did bike helmets do ? They let the stupid survive. As kids, we never had them and when we fell, if it hurt, well, we learned something; don't do THAT again. We grew intellectually. Bike helmets let the stupid survive and try again. And again. Never to learn. Stupid kid grows into stupid adult. Who marries stupid adult ? Another stupid adult. Then they have stupid kids. So on and so forth. Society, as a result, becomes stupid. How do you protect stupid ?? Make up laws that are common sense to the non-stupids, but need to be spelled out to the stupids. But since there are no IQ test requirements to do anything, the Stupid Protection Laws affect all of us. Just look at all the warnings on a simple step ladder. Mind boggling. Too many stupids fell off them...

Blame bike helmets.
Reminds me of the movie Idiocracy lol

I don’t even know who that is
He was one of the main characters in the newer star trek movies as Pavel Chekov.... He also played Kyle Reese in terminator salvation....his Grand Cherokee crushed him when he left the vehicle to check his mail and pinned him against security Wall. He was 27.

The solution could be even simpler than a tazer or J-scan.

If you first put your window down (unless it's raining or cold out, then leave it up) then simply unplug the door's electrical connector (like you've taken the doors off) then that should disable that 'feature'. If it didn't, then how, otherwise, could one drive around without the doors on?
Or if you bought the poverty spec like me I just unplug and still can use my windows. The lights won't come on when opening door but if thats a problem I just open the back door first.

I believe they came up with this idea after the actor Anton Yelchin got crushed by his Cherokee.
That's what people believe, but it was a thing with other companies. There was a history there.
Even Ford has done similar.

So you leave out all of the moron car drivers who hit bikers or pull out in front of them, a friend included, who would have been killed without his helmet because some idiot wasn't watching and pulled out right in front of him. He went into the side of her car, flipped up over the top of her car and landed on his heels, crushing both ankles. No helmet, he'd have been dead through no fault of his own.
People love to blame the wrong things here. What an attitude - it's the biker's fault. Yeah, right. Most accidents - about 70%, are the fault of someone else.
I worked in a head injury facility - you are clueless.

Wow, chill dude, I was talking about bicycle helmets when we were kids, not motorcycle helmets on adults (I ride a motorcycle and always gear up, even to tool around the neighborhood, and yes, I've had my scares, I've been 2-wheeling for 40+ years). I guess you didn't see the words "when we were kids", bicycle was implied, not motorcycle. Even so, it was just something to chuckle about, of course this theory of mine makes no sense.

As someone who rode a lot of bikes in that time period, helmets were certainly not "everywhere" in the early 80s. Maybe one dork had one and they were mocked relentlessly. Nor were helmets everywhere in the late 80s or even the early 90s.

This erroneous claim suggests the author’s own memory may be a casualty of the very unprotected falls they advocate for (CTE or "stupid"?).

Fortunately for you, these days we have people who reject helmets, vaccines, anything supported by evidence, and would prefer to "do their own research". So you should be excited that we are on the path back to equilibrium and hopefully you remain lucid long enough to enjoy it.

Okay. I'm the new guy here and I've learned something. Somewhat sensitive bunch with a tendency to extrapolate into areas not mentioned . I won't be making comments like that in the future. I apologize if I offended.

Former Marine with a dark sense of humor. I'll reign it in.

Again, I apologize. My first turn at bat was NOT to antagonize.
