There is something beautiful about the challenge of functioning during the depths of winter, between the near constant dark, and the freezing cold, that I really enjoy, as strange as that is. Plus I have rather misanthropic tendencies, and all that combines to keep a lot of people away from...
Most vehicles do as long as you have an engine block heater, transmission pan heater, battery maintainer, and oil pan heater plugged in. All the cars up here have little extension cords dangling out the front grill so you can plug them in when it gets cold. You do have to be careful with the...
Ay, but the Norsewoman would like a more refined raiding and pillaging experience. When our hands are full of gold and covered in the blood of monks, it’s nice to not let the tailgate bang down and reveal our position to the villagers
Dave, you gotta remember you can always put more clothes on, but there are only so many clothes you can take off! I don’t know how I would survive down there in AZ. I think the first day it got above 90 I’d just melt down into a little puddle of Alaskan and seep down into the sand :tumbleweed:
OEM dampers on most trucks I’ve come across are virtually unusable at anything below -30, which we generally get 2 weeks to a month of up here every winter. As someone said, the bigger ford trucks have torsion bars, and those still work, but I think I’ve only seen one damper work well on a truck...
Looks like the the results are in. TheNorseman’s Ranger will go un-dampened! Sorry Dave! Keep up the good work!! I’m with you in spirit! (This seems like a great opportunity to develop your own line of professional grade extreme tailgate dampers, in order to spread the good news further toward...
I’m wondering if I can find a tailgate damper that functions down to -40. (Looking at you Dave) I know the DeeZee one tends to slow and seize at lower temps, and I am not interested in dealing with that. If anyone has any suggestions, I am open to all, including product links, name calling, and...
Fair enough. 5th gen order banks are closed, but you can still get new ones at dealers for a little while yet. Take a look at the 6th gen and see how you like its looks, as the 5th and 6th are dramatically differently styled. From the wild speculation on the internet, most of the main...
HBO’s The Last Of Us is absolutely fantastic. Episode 3 had me in tears. I haven’t ever cried during a movie before. I have no words to describe the incredible world building, writing, and acting in this show. Absolutely impeccable
