Trust the recommended tools section of the Haynes Manual. I learned that the hard way when replacing control arms. Control arm puller for a job I’m probably only going to do once in the lifetime of my truck? Nah, this beefy flat head and a mallet will work, I’m sure. Ugh. Oh, and also maybe don’t trust Autozone when…

Someone reportedly overheard a couple guys on a flight bragging about how they caused a bunch of destruction on the mainland and how much they are looking forward to doing it here in Hawaii during our protests.

What are the odds that a Venn diagram of the folks that attend Jeep beach fest and the Gathering of the Juggalos is a perfect circle?

I can’t recommend Timothy Egan highly enough. His book on the dust bowl is a well researched and thoughtful description of the era. He deftly combines macro and micro narratives to form an engaging description of events. His book The Big Burn is also amazing.
