  1. We Don't Have Holidays Anymore

    Costco has had Christmas wrapping paper and ribbons since last week of July. At first I thought it was leftovers from 2023. Halloween stuff started appearing right around the 4th of July. Valentines and Easter candy should be available soon....
  2. Best A/T Tires?

    "However I did learn that Discount is an authorized installer for Tire Rack and by using Discount for installation I still get lifetime rotation and balancing." FYI - Tire Rack is owned by Discount Tire since 2021
  3. Do they make a key that can only open the door?

    to answer your question - Yes. Back in the Spring of 2020 I bought from and had the dealer cut a blade only which I keep in a case with a magnetic base on a cross member. (As noted by others, plenty of places to purchases a blade/blank key). Just know that when unlocking the door, the horn...

  5. Some "Overlanding" around Central Utah

    1. yes there a couple of back ways into Arches NP. Willow Springs Road (BLM 378). Its located about 10 miles North of the official Arches entry (RT 191). It is trail 14 (page 54) in the FunTreks Guide to Moab trails book. It leads you near to Balanced Rock. Plenty of youtube videos...

  8. Ford's new patent on bed rails.

    As I'm sure most of you guys understand , often these patents are geared toward the aftermarket. This actually is a great upgrade/improvement to the "sideboard patent" my daughter received 4 or 5 years ago when she was at Ford. That patent was based on the idea of having sideboards that could...
  9. NEW: Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac RT

    Did a little research, but didn't find anything. Does any tire seller offer a better than average deal when purchasing 5 tires. Most folks who do drive their vehicles off road prefer to have a matching spare, and many folks who don't drive off road as well like to have the matching spare for...
  10. off road jacks, jacking points?

    Well, it depends on how you have equipped your truck. I have Shrockworks rock rails (they bolt to the frame) and used a Hi-lift jack to lift the truck to change a front tire that went flat.
  11. Go home IRS you're drunk.

    It ain't new folks. My oldest brother, born in 1953, started filing taxes in the early 1970'ss and then all of a sudden one year he gets a letter to verify who he is. Turns out some how he was given the same SS number as someone 200 miles a way - and their names were in no way close.
  12. Any one planning on going on an eclipse watching trip April 9th?

    Like others have said, if it s not cloudy, I will just go out on the patio to watch. Live the near the edge, dont need to travel so be closer to the center. In 2017 a buddy wanted to see that eclipse with his 12 year old daughter. they drove about 4 hours to watch it, and then spent about 7...

  14. Tire Rotation Pattern

    Ahh, yes, very true. I did pay the piper and purchased the matching wheel. And for the past year I have been researching and planning to buy either a 4 door Wrangler or Bronco, so I have been seeing all those matching spares.
  15. Tire Rotation Pattern

    Curious, if you have a matching spare, that you are not doing a 5 tire rotation.

    The retractable solar panels are said to produce up to 1000W when the car is parked and the tent is open and facing south. - and it is not a cloudy day.
  17. Battery Operated Power Tools?

    Numerous options out there. A lot of variables. Sounds like you are looking for light duty, so Ryobi may be best. Plus they are generally lighter in weight and lighter in price If you want something more robust, then as mentioned above Milwaukee, Dewalt, Bosch , Makita, and Ridgid are good...
  18. Salt Flats Were Nice Today

    I think what he is trying to say is that at the end of Bonneville Speedway Road is a cul-de-sac, with nothin' but salt flats, and a few mountains in the distance. And I topped out at my goal of 100 mph, running on mud terrains with a RTT that I think was starting to act as a wing as the...
  19. Portable Jump Starters

    only, only downside to my Noco GB50 is the light switch. Mine came in a carry bag, not hard case, and I placed something next to it and wouldn't you know they came in contact and the light turned on. Fortunately I found it before the pack was out of juice and I needed it. I do still have the...
