    Who carrys a firearm with them while camping?

    I have a CPL, and I have actually been carrying more frequently than usual because people have become extra weird these last 12 months. I really dislike people from other countries offering their criticism of the USA. We have a very diverse population here, and some serious social issues that...

    Who carrys a firearm with them while camping?

    I didn't read the whole thread, but I did read 1st page. OP asks about firearms because it seems bear activity is increasing. Then OP goes on to think he/she should acquire an airgun. Hmmmm......yeah anyone that knows anything about bears wouldn't waste their time with an airgun (may have...

    Re-name The Jeep Cherokee And Grand Cherokee....

    They could rename it "Paradox" For the "paradox of tolerance"! Actually, I like the way it rolls off the tongue: Jeep Paradox

    New ford bronco capabilities. Is jeep in big trouble?

    Eh, I highly doubt those of us looking at body-on-frame off-road vehicles really care about unibody CUV/SUV.

    Portable A/C Considerations

    As a reference point, the AC in your vehicle is actually as powerful as the AC of a moderate sized home (3,000+ sq ft). There's a reason for that! Cars are basically uninsulated ovens/greenhouses. As people have said, any type of portable power short of a medium sized gas generator is going to...

    That's a big negative Eguardo. The FCA V8s still use MDS. Only the Challenger (maybe Charger also) 6MT comes without MDS, which might be the only reliable version of their V8.

    New ford bronco capabilities. Is jeep in big trouble?

    I have a big issue with a certain aspect of the Bronco design. It uses frameless door windows, like older Subarus, Camaros, and my Q60. I have always had issues with these cars and wind noise or water leaks. I have had to replace parts of the window weather stripping on my Q60 once already. And...

    Re-name The Jeep Cherokee And Grand Cherokee....

    I wonder, aside from legal issue, if there could be one..... So what if Jeep kept the name? I don't think the Jeep buying demographic would be too swayed by this issue. From a sales point, Jeep has to consider if Jeep buyers even care about cancel culture. It could be worse to give up an...

    New ford bronco capabilities. Is jeep in big trouble?

    The thing is, most people that buy a $50K+ off-roader with a solid front axle, don't use them any where near their full potential. Heck, people pay nearly as much for a 4Runner and loathe to get them dirty. This hard-core offroading usually occurs later in a vehicle's life when it's value has...

    New ford bronco capabilities. Is jeep in big trouble?

    If you consider the fact that the Bronco comes standard with LED lighting, and it is a significant upcharge on Wranglers, the Bronco is about $5K cheaper than a Wrangler when you try to compare "apples to apples" as difficult as that is... Jeep would do very well to begin allowing the option of...

    New ford bronco capabilities. Is jeep in big trouble?

    One other thing I forgot to add is that every Bronco has LED headlights standard. With the Jeep it is an expensive option. My co-worker has a Rubicon with the halogen headlights and he says they are so bad he can hardly see at night with them (it is persistently rainy and dark here). If you go...

    New ford bronco capabilities. Is jeep in big trouble?

    I just did a MSRP comparo of a Rubicon 2dr turbo 4cyl and a Bronco 2dr turbo 4cyl Sasquatch and the Bronco was over $4K cheaper. As for putting 37's on either vehicle, you really should consider the top-dog engine for both vehicles. The 2.7T in the Bronco is the best choice for 37's and is...

    New ford bronco capabilities. Is jeep in big trouble?

    I see the Gladiator as a huge compromise, even more so than a 4-door Wrangler. Lots of cab, not much truck bed, super-long wheelbase (for a Wrangler) and your choice of a relatively poorly matched minivan V6 or a super expensive diesel option. I'm wondering if people just realized it's such a...

    New ford bronco capabilities. Is jeep in big trouble?

    Jeep Wrangler basically has had the market to itself nearly forever. So, yes, the Bronco will definitely upset the market a lot. One thing I like about the Bronco is that you can buy all of the best off-road goodies for the BASE model. No need to start with an upper trim for lockers or...

    1997 Mitsubishi Montero SR

    Oooh, I always wanted one of these. IIRC the SR trim has a bunch of off-road goodies and a nice DOHC 3.5 V6?

    I did it new ride

    Congratulations! I've seen a few reviews on these and they do extremely well for a unibody CUV.....totally lives up to the Bronco name!

    Specialty coffee setups (ultra coffee snobbery)

    These are 18g of sugar compared to 39g for a can of Coca-Cola. Not too terribly bad. I found them quite refreshing in the AZ desert. Tastes like chocolate soda IMO

    Specialty coffee setups (ultra coffee snobbery)

    I have to admit, when we went Overlanding recently, I was drinking Woca-Cola Dark coffee soda. Pretty good, but I ended up feeling guilty!

    Trying to select the correct vehicle for first overland build

    I'm quite certain I'd buy a Colorado over a Tacoma easily. Not because the Tacoma is "unreliable", but because it doesn't live up to it's reputation, both as a "Taco!" and as a Toyota...I have definitely heard the issues with the current Tacoma. 2 of my co-workers bought 1st year Colorados...
