It’s all about the rubber compound. Even if you don’t get snow and ice, proper winter tires work really well in cold weather.

Sounds about right. That being said, it’s easy to get into a cycle of throwing money at a vehicle, then trying to find more challenging terrain, and then throwing more money at the vehicle, and then…

The price differential between my Badlands Sasquatch and the Raptor was like $20k when I bought it. Can’t imagine spending that much money to get basically no return when I sell, as opposed to just buying the Raptor.

I run Rokblokz XL longs and also have PPF on my doors - excellent investments. Doesn’t save the fender flares, but I also view those as sacrificial parts since they aren’t painted and easily replaced.

Meanwhile, the leading edge of my rear fender flares feel like cheese graters from all the rocks they’ve caught from the front tires.

Kids love to help out. An extra helping of Wheaties and she’ll show you how it’s done.

If you don’t have a spare person to help out, seems like you could just leave the panel on since nobody would be sitting there.

Yes. Basically our trade deficits have practically nothing to do with trade barriers, and everything to do with borrowing from other countries, and attracting investment from abroad. If an overseas company chooses to build a factory here, those funds either come from our purchase of imports...

Rates will go up - perhaps “bigly”. Other strange thing: suddenly the trade deficit would flip. All those dollars would have to go somewhere…

Volvo makes the best car seats you can buy. I would love to be able to swap their seats into everything.

If we are that concerned about China, then our deficit is a much bigger issue than them selling us cheap stuff. China buys a lot of Treasuries. It buys a lot of mortgage backed securities. If China were to step back from doing this, the interest on the national debt would start climbing, and...

A friend of mine vomited in his truck while drunk - I was the designated driver, thankfully. He managed to get it into the vents, and when winter kicked in, it became clear he didn’t get all of it cleaned out.

They were meant to make Ford more money!

If another country wants to steal from their own people so that we can get cheaper raw materials, we should take them up on the offer. That’s what dumping ultimately is - the other country’s government is subsidizing our consumption. Heck, they already are subsidizing our borrowing, but that...

Trade deficits are mathematically impossible without a corresponding offset when it comes to foreign investment when two currencies can float against each other. All those trade deficits we have is because other countries sell us good and turn around and invest in our country rather than our...

I would use low water pressure, and avoid the infotainment section. Otherwise you are good to go, with the understanding that proceeding with using water constitutes an acceptance of risk on your part and that you will hold harmless the users of this forum and will indemnify us for any legal...

Yes, tariffs are unpatriotic to the extent that one believes we should be a free market economy. People that favor tariffs would probably be happier in a more socialist country.

Why was Chrysler vital to the national defense in the early 80s?

Door jam is 39 for Sasquatch, and plenty of people are talking like that puts you into Fred Flintstone tire territory.

I’ve hit frequencies driving on washboards where all of a sudden you get the feeling like you’re in a plane taking off. Really weird.
