Another vote for BFG ATs. I plan to buy those for my truck. I have over 30k miles on a set on my Jeep and I think I'll get at least 50k on them. I bent a rim once off road and the sidewall was undamaged.

You might be able to sell it over there and buy a TD T4R. I know they sell diesel Jeep Rubicons over there.

I rented a Prius once. Acceleration was good, and I had the same feelings about how it operated. I drove 100 highway miles and got about 37mpg. I think I would save the extra 7000-8000 dollars and buy a Corolla or Civic. They won't be efficient enough to justify it until they come out with a...

Blanket in winter snatch strap ratcheting cargo straps bungee cords map lighter jumper cables charcoal activitated hand warmers tools for work(handtools, meter, flashlight) I keep most of it in a Home Depot 5 gallon bucket.

That was a good pull. If we ever get snow here, I like to drive around in my Jeep and help people out. I keep hoping someone will hit me and I'll get free upgraded bumpers. I used to unload those UPS trucks. The body is fiberglass, so they aren't as heavy as they look, but they are still...

Don't get a strap with hooks and let them attach it to their vehicle. Make sure that they won't hold you responsible for any damages before pulling them.

I would have wrote a ticket for the guy in the avalanche. I would have let the other guy who was pulling him out off with a warning.

Did that little bump next to the tree cause that or was there an obstacle we couldn't see? That looked like an easy trail. Those tires didn't look very aggressive. No wonder he couldn't get traction.

I work with deep cycle batteries at work. When they are discharging, the voltage will drop to about 12V and then go up to 12.1 or 12.2 before continuing their discharge. I think it has something to do with the temperature of the battery during discharge.

I used to catch those when I was a kid. They are about 1.5-2 inches long. We would tie a piece of thread around them under their wings and let them fly circles around us while they made noise. Good times.

It looks sweet. Mechanically, it's a lot like a Jeep. Front and rear axles with locking diffs and a V6. I'd wheel it.

If the Pathfinder shares a platform with a Nissan truck, it would be the Frontier. My brother has an 05 Pathfinder. If you have a large family, go with the Nissan. The 3rd row folds into the floor and it has good acceleration. On the downside, it uses premium gas and only gets about 15mpg...

I think that if you heard a sizzling sound and you smelled a faint burning smell, that you now have burnt wiring somewhere. You may want to disconnect your battery and ohm in the circuit, looking for a short to ground. You can use individual fuses to isolate where the short is or isn't.(unless...

Ethanol blends are only in the most congested counties in Texas. I live just outside of Dallas county. I make a point to gas up at home as much as possible. That ethanol can't be good on your engine, especially if it's not made for ethanol usage. Regular unleaded in my county is the same...

I noticed that your mileage decreased when you used higher octane gas. You'll never improve your mileage enough with higher octane gas to justify the extra cost anyway. I get about 10% less per gallon when I use 10% ethanol gas. Hope I helped.
