Don’t bother with the stock tire carrier. It is only strong enough for a 31, which you can still fit inside in the stock location.

Ever read a headline and know it’s a David Tracy post?

He’s a career mechanic who worked on everything from roller skates to jet engines. I can’t begin to explain how much he’s taught me about twisting wrenches and life in general.

I just heard the ‘33,000 people die a year from guns’ statistic quoted again on NPR. Let’s do the mental math: There are 30,000 gun related deaths per year by firearms, and this number is not disputed. The U.S. population is 324,059,091 as of Wednesday, June 22, 2016.

Haggling is worth the time for anyone in the market for Ranger. But there’s a lot of people who dislike the process, just don’t do it, and pay more.

Except when you’re in a society where stealership lobbyists got a law passed mandating themselves as a “middle man” and outlawing manufacturers direct sales.

Changing your own oil is a lot cheaper than fixing a stripped out drain plug or taking the quick-change place to court to get a new engine because they forgot to put the new oil in.

Came to say that Republicans and Democrats were cults - did not have to!

What a shit article. Next week we’ll read that Claire found a water-resistant jacket to wear when it rains. I’m about to give up on Lifehacker.

Make a truck that fits 33s-35s stock and lift won’t be necessary. The easiest way to accomplish this would be to make “peel-away” sections for the fenders/wheel openings.
