    Led lights suck

    I think you should probably differentiate between OEM lights designed around LED emitters, and bargain drop in hokum because they are not the same. ETA: I see that you have indirectly done exactly that. "LED" isn't a measure of quality, poor quality and bogus wiring will almost always yield...

    Trail Security

    Politics and guns are existentially tied. You can't talk about the use of guns as trail security without politics entering the discussion because politics are the limiting factor in some areas as to whether you can or cannot utilize them. Canada, Mexico and states that want to be like Canada and...

    Stay Safe Out There

    About 2 weeks ago, could I have? Probably. Should I have? NEIN Where that water is coming over the bank on the right was about half way up the doors on a Ram 2500 4x4. I selected R and went the other way.

    Stay Safe Out There

    Water running in the desert? No thanks, I'll just wait an hour for it to be bone dry again. ETA: looks like a Roxor

    Trail Security

    MOAK's initial post that brought this about, for context As we all now know which I and anyone paying attention knew then, THAT is exactly what Northam and the Democrat legislature of VA was attempting to do, and public pressure is the only thing that shut them down. Now I'm going to walk...

    Trail Security

    What passed is meaningless and superfluous, and not any part of what Northam wants/wanted. Universal background checks, who do you think will submit to this? MS13 or people who are law abiding already Report stolen weapons. Who do you think will do this lawful gun owners of the meth head...

    Winch *AND* Snatch Strap?

    No, not about your rant specifically, I see this all the time, generally from people who are either talking themselves out of a winch, or talking someone else out of one. SELF recovery and competent first aid should be at the top of the hierarchy of needs for anyone who is going off of the...

    Trail Security

    Va gun control failed because people turned out in mass to protest it. More than 90% of the states counties passed sanctuary actions declaring they would not enforce unconstitutional laws. Pretending that gun control legislation did not pass in Va because of some inherent good in the electorate...

    Winch *AND* Snatch Strap?

    More is almost always better, but if you are traveling alone a kinetic recovery rope will have little value unless you are planning to hunt somebody down to pull you out. Folks who make out like wincing is some terribly labor intensive operation must have terribly sedentary lifestyles. It's...

    Do you do all your own build labor?

    When something breaks (and it will) familiarity is everything. Barring things requiring specialty equipment far and away exceeding the value of the work, I do it myself.

    Help me pick a truck.

    I see this IFS argument with some regularity "Dem race truck though!" Completely invalid point with regards to daily drivers. OP has a 20K budget, meaning he cannot afford to replace entire suspensions on the regular. Racing vehicles of any type are composed entirely of consumables...

    Help me pick a truck.

    "on a daily basis the truck needs to be able to traverse most moderate/rugged desert roads at 40-60mph, " That is going to destroy any truck that is not purpose built. Pick a vehicle with an SFA, slow down and buy the best supension components you can get. Personally I would say a Ram 2500...

    Trail Security

    I'm speaking of your own personal moral guidelines. I live in Texas. I have lived in Texas for 40 years. The posting laws are a guide to prosecution, not conveyance of rights. Unposted DOES NOT and never has convey the right to use another person's property, it simply protects you from...

    Trail Security

    Posted or not posted, you're saying you knowingly go onto someone elses property and use it as if it is your own? You KNOW it isn't yours, and you use it anyway , and feel compelled to validate that by saying " it wasn't posted"? Holy shit.

    Should I replace poor-reviewed tires?

    How old are they? If less than 5 years old I would conduct my own independent and impartial review. Some of the junkiest shit I've ever bought has had cult like followings.

    C rated vs E rated

    Load capacity is a function of volume at pressure. As volume increases requisite pressure decreases to support the same load. Load range/ply rating is an indicator of the ability of the tire to contain higher pressures (higher or lower) . Generally speaking a higher load range/ply rating...
