Benchmade folder. I have no need for a fixed blade normally. If I did it would be my Esee-3

I will agree and disagree with the bee thing. I will agree that it works but, if you have enough bees in your desert area to be a bother, your not far from their hive. Spring time is when I see the most bees but their more interested in flowers. "if" I had the occasional bee fly through just to...

The two we had never made it off the driveway. Both were cars.

OMG did that spark some memories. Still laughing ( I know its not funny but......)

Yes We also need to teach our kids critical thinking and work on imagination. Leggo's use to give you a box of bricks with a picture. The child had to figure it out. Now you get detailed instructions. People say its fine like that. No more imagination or critical thinking. It was too hard. Its...

I have this one. Its about 4 years old. works great. about the same as my old gas powered with the same chain size.

Cool snow pic. Looks like your already geared enough

What was cool about that time frame was getting to go to the factory and drive their "test course". At that time I was hard core rock crawling so the course was a bit Ehhh. The other people there were really impressed. I looked at it as a cool thing I got to go to.

Why do you think so few were produced? Not really sure. We all had the impression they didn't want to produce civilian vehicles (H1). I say this because of the difficulty in getting warranty parts. It wasn't unusual to have a vehicle wait 6+ months for a trim part. And that only 6 were sold. I...

They only produced 281 second gen H1 Alpha's. Not sure what that's going to do to the cost and availability. We had a Hummer franchise at my shop and I did some work on one of the prototypes before they were produced. The Duromax was a bit of a squeeze in there. From what i remember, the first...

If you want to see what a good DIY starting battery cost is, without a BMS or add on features. Here ya go. Prismatic Battery Edit, click on the dropdown menu and choose compression. Need to do this with prismatics Also, lithium battery prices have fallen considerably over the last year.

I took a chance on a cheap amazon 100 ah battery. Why? because I wanted to see how they held up. So far, a year of undercharging, over taxing, too cold and too hot it's doing great. I could have spent over $1000 for the same but with more features. Instead I spent $200 (ish). I have stack's of...

Agreed.

Their smooth and they dissipate energy well. The only down side to a torsion is modifications. Vehicles with torsions should be left close to stock height. I have yet to see an off-road torsion lift kit that doesn't make me cringe. If I want to mod and lift an off road vehicle, its on coils...

I'm going to assume this is what you run and have at least somewhat abused. My self, I have not run any wraps but have researched them. Unfortunately, the only feedback I've seen is from people who install only or don't go off-road. The wraps I have seen have not held up but, I have no idea what...

I started using this bluetooth dongle years ago due to the lack of anything that worked properly with an I Phone. Read the details about it before you consider buying it. Some of these things don't play well with some euro cars. The link is with the manufacture (scantool.net) but you can get...

We call those gate keepers. No overhead but mostly rock piles limiting by clearance width and skill. Most trails have ratings with signs stating the minimum requirements for vehicles. The trail I mostly maintained was 33" tires and a single locker. The gate keeper must be as difficult as the...

^^^This^^^ The problem is catching them on film. Working my Adapt a Trail, we only caught 1 person in 25 years. Fortunately, they made an example out of the guy. Unfortunately it didn't lessen the damage we dealt with from others.

I read a similar article about Utah. Most of the rescues were rental vehicles. Over the years, I've watched this happen all over. The environmental groups use this as ammunition to push closures. Look at Utah right now. I saw this in the Mojave, in my local mountains, the sand dunes south of me...

Read the specs on their controllers. I don't remember which one was the last one I bought (Rover?). I do know it was a 30amp. Their products have quite a number of great features. I recently replaced one of mine not because it was bad but I wanted an updated version with a display. As @socal66...
