What would worry me more on the Gladiator with towing is the brakes. I don’t know if they are fundamentally different than that of a JK, but on a JK with stock brakes they have a hard time holding back the weight of just the Jeep on a sharp off-road descent. Jeep offers a big brake kit - ostensibly, because there’s a…

So, you’re saying that you need to sign up for TSA Pre-Check which already has removed these two obstacles to your travel?

Mud can be fun but to me it’s not worth the cleanup required afterwards.

David, it was a pleasure watching you scale new heights with Project POStal!

Guess I shouldn’t complain that the a/c just went out on my Moab-bound vehicle.

I could like the bags if installed well. With the sloppy wiring in the trunk and the lazy routing of the cabling for the controller, I’m not too comfortable with how the rest of the system was installed. CP.

Just saw these in Asia and the pictures don’t do them justice - they are even uglier in person. The function may be fantastic, but they are so unpleasant to look at . There was this one too

Nice oil stain in the driveway where this Z3 was (presumably) parked. I doubt the electrical issue and the cosmetics are the only problems this car is experiencing.

I don’t consider the ZR1 a halo car. It may be the highest echelon of any Chevy, and it may be rare and desireable, but does that alone make it a halo car? For me, a halo car is a truly unique and (mostly) unrelated vehicle to the rest of the lineup. They are often loss leaders as well. I think many manufacturers skip…

And when I was a child I was in the back seat of a car that hit a guy that was chasing things down the highway. He didn’t make it.

Been doing this for years. It’s easier to keep an extra cable, charger and mount packed in my laptop bag than to remember to pull them out of the car for each trip.

This post, just two days after you talk about shedding a few of your nine current vehicles?

Don’t all lights and lenses require DOT approval? It’s likely an expensive process, which is one reason you see RVs use assemblies from standard road cars, and the Durango and Dodge minivan used the same taillights at one time. I suspect that the very unique designs the Firebird had required individual certifications…

Tires always squeal on wet roads and dirt roads in the movies. You need a dry road to get tire squeal.

Right on target. BTW, H2s came stock with a rear locker. Early H3s were available with a rear locker; later H3s and H3Ts could come factory equipped front and rear.

Nope. They do quite well off road. It’s hard to compare vs. solid F/R axles like in a Wrangler, but they do well. Only mods recommended are larger tires and some undercarriage protection.

They can wheel. Only significant mod to this H3T is 35s vs. 33s.

My H3's I5 has 175,000 miles on it with no engine issues. More than a few of those were off road as well. Some of the 06s had head issues that were addressed under warranty; after that, they’ve been exceedingly reliable.

Fill it with Venezia’s Pizzas and I’m good to go.
