Yep — since it’s under a lot of tension, your part will come back atcha if its parts. The few people standing off to the side to coordinate and document the affair seem alert, which is important too. With electric winches you can control the winch remotely from a place of safety, but you’re still exerting a lot of…

Spirit of Eggstacy

I held a guys car hostage once. We were a small repair shop and we also did the towing for the Boro police. They pulled a guy over for DUI, arrested him because he was waaaay over the limit and had us tow the car at around 4 am. He makes bail and comes down around 8 to get the car, still drunk. So I told him our…

Death wobble of death.

JK - death wobble
JL - hold my beer

Also lol: “Logic and facts in an argument do nothing to change their mind and only cause them to just repeat themselves ad infinitum.”

They are so incredibly fun! I loved jumping them. 

non-paved public roads are a gray area. Depends if the street is a blue sign or green sign denoting private or public through-way.  As for this I mean actual off-road.  Like trail riding and private roads all the way to full on rock crawling.  

The Banana Splits theme is one of a ton of great classic cartoon songs covered on a 90s collection that I absolutely wore out. Liz Phair and Material Issue covered it; can’t get more 90s than that!  Well, except the rest of the list.  But it’s great fun.

Hey everyone! I’m the lucky driver being overtaken by the S2K! I got one of the first cars from McLaren and didn’t waste time putting some miles on it. Before I had to leave the US I put 1600 miles on the car road tripping it from Monterey to LA and back and to SF and back to Monterey. Then I did the double track day…

I like to keep my old devices to use during travel after formatting them and reloading the OS. Have a simple basic set of apps and data that you keep on your machine for travel. ICE gets your phone? No biggie there was nothing on there to begin with. Your pockets get picked? No biggie! Your hotel room is robbed a la Ki…

I’ll take it one step further.... hold your un-zippedjacket, bag, camera, anything that is just hanging and can drag along the car in your hands as you hold them behind you.

So its just a sahara with the word “moab” on the hood and a few mopar catalog parts. Pretty special.

I say it all the time: trucks are pavement princesses. No matter how tall you lift them or how aggressive of tires you put on, the weight bias is terrible, wheelbase is too long, and trackwidth too wide. If you want to off road, a wrangler or 4runner is a better base package. If you want to off road but a truck is…

Few things:

I love the 5 digit keypad on Ford trucks. It's way better than a proximity key and solves lots of problems when traveling with multiple people or engaging in water-sports, mountain biking, any fun outdoor activity designed to kill electronic keys...

WH not teach your children how to drive, or send them to not only drivers ed, but take them to an actual driving school, maybe one at a race track. Take them to a go cart track and let them learn the dynamics at a young age.

Parents, let me let you in on a secret: Regardless of what car you buy your teenager, it will be hooned. It will be driven off road. The music will be too loud. Irresponsible things will be done.

Very few people, including most jalopnik.com writers and readers, buy the vehicle they need. They buy the vehicle they want to and can (sometimes) afford. Nobody needs a BMW, Tesla, sports car, Jeep, roadster or any other car any of us would like to own. They all need a camry or a Grand Caravan. Or really just a bus…

It’s still just the G80 and all the trucks except the Denali 1500s get low range. It’s a decent equipment package tho
