    Don't ask - I have no idea. At first glance, it looks like just a bunch of garbage loaded up, but when you look close, it is all intentionally built that way?

    2024 LandCruiser

    I think for average car owner, the advantage is you never have to shift it out of 4wd. For a gear-head like most of us, that is a disadvantage, but for average Joe or Jill, it is easier to use and requires less understanding of what is going on under the covers.

    Today I Want This....

    Saw this cool Man parked in the storage lot in Lakepoint. Still has euro plates on it.

    Another 'what tow rig' thread.

    Sounds like I may be in the minority in this group, but I honestly think you would be sorely disappointed moving away from a diesel after towing a significant load with one. I would put your boat and horse trailer in the significant load column. I just returned from Portland with a new square...

    Looks like fun! I was amused by how big of a deal both reviewers I saw made of the fact that it now has tow hooks on one end!

    What did you work on Today; Home Edition

    I have hanging shades off my upper deck for the same purpose. We put them down in the morning and up around lunch. Based on my experience, I can say is something that large is going to be a giant sail when you get any wind. It would have to be massively strong and well anchored and tensioned...

    Drop hitch info

    I think no advantage of the 2.5" other than a little less slop and more capacity. B&W and Anderson are great options. I needed 14k capacity and am price sensitive, so I went for the Curt steel one. I'm pleased with the product and price, although it is heavy as sin to carry around.

    Pick My Next Truck

    I get that this might seem irritating, but I'm not sure this is a real issue if you get used to it. My vw counts down when you are 600 miles from being out of DEF. When is the last time you ran out of fuel?

    The GMRS Radio Thread

    I'm not sure what having either license means. I have a Ham license. I bought a GMRS license last year because I thought I would be transmitting in that band on high power. Both have their place in my mind.

    Kids in the back seat of older jeeps...

    Love the little bucket seats! I have 4 seatbelts in the back of the unimog. It was almost a different era, but I can remember going up some obstacle and looking back and one of the boys was sleeping and his head was banging into the door frame. Had to have his brother put a pillow there. I...

    Glad I'm not alone. I always tell Jessi if she is going to backseat drive, she needs to keep her eyes on the road.

    Spinoff: Do your kids (or you) drive a manual transmission?

    Sons all drove and preferred manual. Daughter not so much.

    I would like to do the same. Any advice on where you got the great deal on dyneema?

    Yup. I agree it doesn't make sense if you were wanting to blast a whole truck frame. Small parts, on the other hand make me wonder...

    Has anyone used one of these pressure washer sandblasters? Seems like a better way to handles small jobs in the driveway...

    Learn something new every day here - thanks for sending me down the rabbit hole researching Ed Gein. Once again proving that fictional characters and events, like Hannibal Lecter, hold nothing over reality.
