    The tongue weight is still the same. The weight is adjusted forward along the frame of the tow vehicle. Where and how much weight depends on a lot of variables. A WD hitch essentially fights the cantilever effect of tongue weight on a receiver hitch. The longer the distance between your hitch...

    It’s still possible, it just depends on how soft your rear suspension is and how heavy the tongue is. Even if it does sag some, it should be less sag with a WD hitch, but more importantly it keeps more weight on your front axle suspension.

    WD adds weight to the front axle of the truck. Tongue weight has a cantilever effect on your front suspension, which can reduce steering effectiveness. An extreme example is your truck popping a wheelie.

    Weight distributing and sway control are two different ways to add stability. A WD hitch will essentially add weight to your front axle when a substantial amount of tongue weight has decreased your front axle weight. This makes the TOW vehicle more stable. A sway control device like the one...

    I Personally think so. When I first bought my panels, I just leaned them up against the hill side. I figured they got a ton of sun where I placed them, but they didn’t perform too awesome except during the longest days of the year. The shadows get so long in the evenings that it significantly...

    It’s my experience that all batteries won’t last more than 5-7 years. You will need to replace them no matter what. I bought my last pair at Autozone in Ephraim last year and I’ve been kicking myself for waiting as long as I did (they started boiling). The old batteries were not always...

    I think the Renogy panels are 150 watts each.

    Two Renogy solar panels on the roof are something I refuse to live without on any RV. They’ve made a massive difference in my batteries. They’re always charged to 100%, no matter what I do. I can leave my fridge running on propane for a month, and it will never drain the batteries. The fridge...

    Wanted 5x4.5 to 5x5 wheel adapter/spacer.

    I’m jealous, as I want to exactly the same with my YJ, but I desperately need gears with the 31’s on mine.

    FWIW, I think both VP picks are nothing-burgers, intentionally so. I do find this meme hilarious, though.
