#1: The second day I owned it, I removed the third row seat. It has been gathering dust in my garage ever since. :p #2: Since buying it 1 1/2 years ago, I can only recall three times when I've had someone ride in the back seat. #3: A few days after buying it, I was brushing snow off it in...

But, but... it's a Toyota!!! :rofl:

Some might say the guy is fanatical; I humbly propose that he is just an average guy who is showing what is possible via simple changes that do not compromise your standard of living. It is up to each of us to determine our individual level of commitment to any such change of lifestyle. The...

http://www.johnsavesenergy.com/YouCantAfford.html#.U8SbH0Dgxu1 EDIT: your article linked above was written back in 2012. According to John, PV solar panel prices have dropped about 250% in the last three years (his math, not mine), meaning the WSJ chart is significantly out of date today. FYI

You say you want to easily tow 6,000 pounds up a mountain pass, and you want to be comfortable doing it? All while spending only $4k? You are in almost the same situation I was in (except I don't have kids to take with me). Sit down and listen, because I'm going to give you the best advice...

And that is where you are wrong.

You say going 100% solar and being net connected isn't financially feasible in Utah? John says you are wrong, and he is proving it every day. John Saves Energy Not only did he install solar panels on his roof (did the labor himself), the result produces enough electricity that he sold his...

That spread represents the tail end of that generation Ram 1500. The redesigned 2002+ was a quantum improvement in nearly every way, especially when the old school 5.9L was replaced with the 5.7L Hemi. The new 545RFE was likewise a vast improvement over the former transmission.

Once in the past, I grazed that tree. This time around, the tree was about the only thing I didn't contact. Oh, well.

I was wondering when this thread would appear. ;) Thanks again for the tail lights.

Yeah, HTT is always a surprise in one way or another. It would be easy for me to be embarrassed about my troubles at that one obstacle (especially considering I've made it through unscathed in the past). But when I compare my vehicle to the others that were with me and I realize I drove...

When I suggested this, my main concern was that your engine might still be operating in cold loop mode--such as if the thermostat is stuck open. If the temp gauge is normal and you get good heat out of the system, I'd say this is probably not your problem. I have seen marginal cats that...

It looks like you're still running rich, or else your cat isn't cleaning up enough of the exhaust. Have you verified your MAP/MAF sensor (whichever you have) is functioning correctly? Is the engine up to proper operating temp? And have you tested the cat for proper operation? These look like...

Welcome to the group! I'm glad you found us. I'm sure you'll make a number of friends here. Congrats on the JKU--it's a great rig and you'll get good use out of it in these parts.

Well, then what is it about? Are we all going to reveal our geek/nerd inner secrets?

On the way up. Shortly before the final (big) waterfall, there is an off camber one-step climb that crosses your path right before a tight left turn. It's the climb that is deceptively difficult; you often make it halfway up, start spinning your tires, then you slide back down (and to the left...

Will do. Due to working bell to bell today (8:30am to 9:00pm), I won't be able to get down there until nearly 10:00. Is that okay?

Since I just destroyed one of mine on the Hanging Tree Trail, I would love to come get those taillights.

Big thanks to Ryan for organizing this run. We were a small group of only six rigs, and my humble little TJ was the runt of the litter--everyone else had 40" tires or larger, for example, which made my 35s look like training wheels. I was happy to be the tail gunner so as to not impede...
