I used to to keep an iPod charged. It was awesome. But it’s old, probably broken in a box somewhere. the wife and I are...

    Solar panels full time external mount?

    Im in the design phase of a camping trailer, and Id like to have my solar panels mounted on the exterior of the trailer. So, if needed, they are always charging when driving. Initially I was going to mount them on a panel that flipped up, mounted to the drivers or passenger side of the trailer...

    I was trying to find if anyone has tried a trailer mounted winch. I have winch laying around, and no space on the front of my truck. I could mount it under the bed of my truck where the spare tire was and have the lead exit the trailer hitch or I could design a fair lead into the bumper easy...

    Another "what tire thread"... 15 GMC Yukon Xl....

    Hey guys... I know these threads usually suck. So much of it is speculative and based upon individual opinion...but sometimes a tire sticks out for a certain sized vehicle or type of usage. Plus it seems what I am looking for is pretty limited in availability. I have a 2015 GMC Yukon Denali XL...

    15+ GMC Yukon Denali/Cadillac Escalade Mrc delete anyone?

    Has anyone found a way to delete the 2015+ GMC Yukon Denali magnetic shocks? Or maybe return them? They are horrible everywhere. The Escalade tuning is not as bad, and they are at least adjustable. But I can’t find anyone that can retune the Denali suspension tuning. I would like to replace the...

    Tacoma/Tundra; Trd Pro?

    The wife has decided she wants a pick up. I sold my f350 that was 4 linked front and rear with ADS dual rate C/O's, on 37's with lockers. It was an awesome backroads truck. Comfortable at speed down dirt roads, could cross just about anything. Had lockers... was a big long but we liked the extra...

    Yet another tire questions... but this one for rain on cement...maybe some snow

    My wife's '15 GMC Denali Yukon XL has the tire option that had the most meat. The 265/55/20 continental eco whatever's.... Great on the mileage, mediocre at everything else. The roads around here suck and traditionally get pothole worse every rainy season. We also take occasional trips over the...
