    Best Home Adds and Fixtures

    Agreed on everything mentioned above. A dedicated instant hot water faucet at the kitchen sink is on my to-do list. One of those with the filtered/heated unit underneath the sink. I switched to a tankless water heater and it's been awesome. The electrical work was more than the unit itself...

    Plane crash in DC

    My news feed has been overcome with news shorts on this accident. Most are complete garbage. The NTSB will be putting every part and everyone involved under a microscope and we will eventually have a full rundown in the coming months.

    HD Spare tire carrier

    I'd suggest the EVO. More than you need, with room to grow. Never know.... If you're still headed to Moab this year, you might come back with ideas of bigger tires. 🤣

    Gladiator AEV wheel center too small for spare carrier

    If it don't fit, it don't fit. I wouldn't suggest cutting up your mount to make it work. And I certainly wouldn't suggest altering those sweet wheels. Personally I'd sell the wheels because they're long discontinued. If you damage one, replacing it will be expensive, if you can find one. And...

    Jeep lift

    If it drives fine just run with it as it is. 1" side-to-side isn't bad on a small lift (assuming you mean 4.5" overall gain after the 35" tires) A couple hundred bucks on a adjustable track bar is not a lot of bang for your buck just cause you know it's an 1" off. Also, you're going to have...

    Jeep Accident in Colorado - Roll cage discussion

    That's an absolutely awful thing to have happened to that family. I didn't know them, but my son and I met them briefly on Moab Rim at EJS in 2023 since they knew a few of the people in the group we were with. I have an aftermarket cage in my JK. I held out for a long time and I'd never...

    392 or Bronco Raptor

    Either is certainly a great choice. It would be nice to be in the market again with money to burn. However, I voted neither. The ownership cost of these 392's and Raptors (maintenance, insurance, registration, etc.) just sucks all motivation to have one right out of me.

    WTF - Just to LOOK at a House???

    My first impression of this NAR Settlement is it's focussed on transparency, but now there's a whole host of other issues. For example - buyers with cash, and sellers willing to pay commissions will get priority, while everyone else will be secondary if they even get any help at all. The good...

    VIDEO : Air Down & Air Up Your Tires ON THE GO

    Not for me for just about every reason mentioned above, but really great to see new ideas come to the market.

    Engine Upgrade options....

    I've never met a Jeep owner that did a supercharger, turbo, or V8 swap that didn't have a wild story to tell. You've already learned that you can sink big-money into your Jeep and go nuts. The next lesson is figuring out what your Jeep is to you. If your Jeep does double duty as a daily driver...

    2.5 res shocks / coilover advise

    I never felt the need to change the compression on mine, but I wouldn't buy them and not check that box. Better have and not need I guess. Old setup pics attached (March 2019)

    Shocks advice needed: Standard vs Reservoir. Adjustable?

    I like the idea that I can adjust everything IF I wanted to, but I've not touched my adjustments on my Jeep's coilovers since they were installed. My Nissan Patrol (Y61) is a different story. I have the Old Man Emu BP51's and it does double-duty as my daily driver and weekend warrior. Speed...

    Stupid Drivers

    As long as they have power they are constantly recording and saving to the memory card. You can wire them to constant power sources, or like I mentioned above, I got the Garmin Constant Power Port ($60) that plugs into the OBD port under the dash. It has a switch on it that you can set to...

    Stupid Drivers

    Mini 2 is up on Amazon, Costco, etc for under $100. The Mini 3 is $150. (Also, don't buy a 512GB memory card. I'm using spare 32GB cards I had laying around and they're more than enough.) I have the rear camera attached to a 6' USB extension routed behind the pillars/panels and plugged in to...

    Stupid Drivers

    Same here. I recently got a couple Garmin units. The Mini 2 in the back and the 67W up front. So far so good. If I had to do it again, I'd just buy two Mini's. I don't need the screen, or driver assist features of the 67W.

    Balancing beads

    Thank you. I bought them around late-2018 from Spyderlock. They were forthcoming with the info that they may soon be out of production, so I went ahead and bought a set of 5 and 5 extra rings. For custom backspacing reasons, my original choice was Trail Ready, but they weren't available, and...

    Balancing beads

    Sounds like some good Mythbuster-type content for you. :ROFLMAO: Other than paying stupid money for small chunks of metal. They don't balance-out 100% of the time. At times you'll get up to speed and if they haven't settled in their sweet-spot they are counter to what they're supposed to do...

    Balancing beads

    There was a time around 2009 when Discount Tire was refusing vehicles with wheel spacers and/or beadlocks. I had AEV Wheels, 37" MTR's and 1.5" Spidertrax bolt-on spacers. Because they wouldn't balance or warranty them (unless I rolled them in 1 by 1,) I went the balance bead route and it was...

    Advice on Garmin Tread XL purchase.

    Okay, this thing is awesome! I'm now a Garmin convert. We went on a short morning drive about 90minutes outside Riyadh to some dunes, a salt facility, and a heritage village and it performed great. Screen is bright and easy to see, and it recorded my tracks and position at speed without having...
