Honestly Broski, Guys (or ladies for that matter) like Njck22 do not bother me in the slightest. It’s like he’s trying to come across as “I mean we’ll and my intentions are good” but his critique of my rig has everything to do with him and the attention that it brings to him. He’s a “Everyone...

Yep. It will crawl. I don’t put it on rocks all the time but when I do.. I try to flip it😬

Well at least we got that part right. That’s exactly my same set up on the throw.

Thanks. I am definitely starting this hydro assist over and I’m taking a page out of baldilocks book. I can see how his set up really works. Trust me… I questioned the hell out of this install and voted against it. But reluctantly agreed to try it. Now I know. …

Wow!!! What a collection! So that’s a 455SD That I see unrestored? I’m not sure how to direct you on the Agreed value through Hagerty other than going through the motions. But I would agree with you in the fact that they are not going to have an agreed value anywhere close to where you would...

Most insurance policies have a “Appraisal clause” written with in them. In fact I think State Farm is one of the few whom have written the language out of their policies. They did this to have complete control of settlements. It’s been argued that their doing this was illegal because it goes...

I guess affordable is all in the eye of the beholder. I paid $1200 a year to insure my 1997 Land Cruiser at a stated value of 65,000, my 2010 911 Carerra stated value of $75,000 and my wife’s 1989 RRC with a stated value of $40k. The 80 and the RRC are allowed 5,000 miles a year and the Porsche...
