    Mountain Truck setups

    As far as type of vehicle, for most uses, a pickup that can fit 4 chains will get through most all forest service type road snow/ice conditions. And experienced can get you through a lot of situation, unfortunately/fortunately there is only one way to get that. I did plenty of shoveling and...

    Mountain Truck setups

    Air pressure needed really comes down to size and construction and weight of vehicle. Most 32ish inch pickup tires won't really start to do anything until 10-12psi. The more air volume a tire has an it the less air pressure it takes to get them to start to work on snow and sand. Pretty much any...

    Are any "waterproof" boots/hikers truly waterproof?

    In my experience, no goretex or similarly lined boot is truly waterproof. Even new boots once the leather is saturated will get water in them eventually. But what I see happen most of the time is pants get wet, and water runs down into boots.

    8 twist 243win vs 6mm creed

    Definitely wouldn't replace the 243 barrel unless it needed it. Already have a couple 243s that I load for, just wanted to make sure there wasn't something I was missing.

    8 twist 243win vs 6mm creed

    Looking at a tikka t3 8 twist 243. Plan is to shoot 103 or 108eldm. I do reload. I guess my question is, re barrel another t3 to 6 creed or will the 243 do the same. I understand the premium ammo availability for the 6 creed, and lack of any of the long high BC factory loaded stuff for the 243...

    Socks- why the merino?

    Tried wool for years, just doesnt work for me. Wool does absorb moisture, but slowly, leaving my feet feeling damp all day. Found that I was better off with thick cotton socks or light ones doubled up, changing them when they felt wet. Anymore I wear a cheap syn sock, feet stay the most dry out...

    New (used) hunting rig

    Looked at an 06 the other day with the v8. 360k Had the timing belt done at 150k and has had nothing but oil changes and a drive belt in that time. It did need front struts and sway bar end links, and the steering shaft u joints were seized up. Pretty impressive though....

    Jeep Cherokee XJ

    These where super popular around here for many years for mail delivery. Saw many go 4-500k with original drivetrain other than brakes and u joints. Water pumps were pretty common as well as rear main seals if they cared about leaks. Always seemed far more reliable than expected to me.

    Jeep Cherokee XJ

    To the OP. One thing to check on these is that a lot of times the springs are so sagged out that the bumpstops come into play even on minor bumps, creating poor ride quality.

    Oil Change Interval

    Have seen enough vehicles get 30-40k on an oil change in a years time frame to know that alot of oil is changed that doesnt need to be. These are all vehicles that are making it into the 300k mile range, so cant see that life has been shortened. This is all daily, mostly highway, but work trucks...
