    Decent comparison of impact drivers. M12 beat m18, but i think it was the battery used.

    What was done to your rig this week?

    Not this week, but this month. WheelsFeels DYI storage system & sleeping platform. Came flat packed and assembled & installed in an hour. For $350, it saved a lot of engineering and carpentry. I think if I were to do it, the plywood and slide would have been $200 or so. It does lay flat, so...

    Does AutoStick/manual mode shifting direction seem backwards to anyone else?

    Not sure why you say it's not useful if they turn with the wheel. Maybe track bar vs 4x4, but I like that the move with the wheel on the wrx so you can just flip them with finger in a turn without moving you hand off the wheel. The shifter doesnt have gear selection, just the ability to...

    I bought a Milwaukee m18 compact impact to install the lift, since I could not budge the factory bolts with an old kawasaki plug-in nor 24 inch breaker bar. I did that Milwaukee because it claimed 550 lb-ft nut busting, and Eddie's videos showed his remove bolts with zero effort. (I was...

    Antenna Mount Location

    Decided to mou t it here. Applied the stick-on magnetic disk. Tested it in the garage. The WX channel came in clear. I could here 2 people talking, and could kinda determine they were in the Morrison area based on the roads they mentioned. I tried asking them to see if they heard me, but no...

    Antenna Mount Location

    I thought about that also. I have a light bar bracket. I also am thinking of using the ditch light bracket on the lightbar bracket. I like the hood for the larger ground plane. It made a difference for CB, not sure if it matters as much on GMRS.

    Antenna Mount Location

    Other than looks, any reason why I shouldn't mount an antenna here? Or on the cowl piece? The new radio came with the magnetic mount and a stick-on disk. I would put it on the roof, but it's the sky-onetouch.

    National Parks will Cite AWD Cars for Driving on 4WD-Only Trails

    Gate keeper obstacles used to be a thing. If you can get through, you can do the trail.

    National Parks will Cite AWD Cars for Driving on 4WD-Only Trails

    And yet, AWD vehicles have done hells revenge and the gate. This fine is totally BS and should only be issued upon a needed request, plus rescue costs. A lifted AWD can and does trails without issue. It's more driver skill on the NPS roads than vehicle. Isn't White Rim road and Schaefers Road...

    Recovery gear/kits for beginners

    Soft shackle to the axle, or tree saver to the axle. In a pinch, soft shackle through a wheel works well enough.

    ANOTHER WINDSHIELD Bites the Dust - What Number are You On?

    ANOTHER WINDSHIELD Bites the Dust - What Number are You On?

    Curious if all I would loose is AM/ FM radio and 4/5g cellular. The XM & GPS is on the roll age. I couldn't care less if the spy signal and am/I'm was lost. I use android auto for navigation and xm radio.

    Roadshock Edge Lights

    Have you checked out Auxbeam? I bought a set and they seem like good quality. Been submerged a few times, covered in mud and havent shown signs of condensation inside the housing.

    Does AutoStick/manual mode shifting direction seem backwards to anyone else?

    So, can paddle shifters be added to a 3.6l? I see the setting in the tazer. But yes, it seems backwards. I will have to check on my other car. I havent used the lever to shift, but the paddles.
