Yes. That is exactly it. Deflect a large branch that is at the hood line to the top that comes across the trail while driving Not falling branches.

Very on point with the tundra comparison. I needed some exhaust gaskets. He couldn’t find the parts for a LC. I told him it is the exact same part as a tundra. Yep. We got 5 of them in stock. He couldn’t find the blower for the cool box in the tundra. 🤷🏼‍♂️ Still looking for that part cheap lol

Limb risers are not for preventing pin striping. They are to keep large branches from crashing thru your windscreen. And potentially killing you. The big stuff. They are a deflector and they work. But unless you are blazing your own trails or traveling a very overgrown trail they are useless...

Honestly. Just make your own. Your going to be drilling holes into your bar and roof rack. It’s very simple. The most important thing is to make tight sleeve with solid bungs to keep the water out of the tubes. It shouldn’t cost more than $75 and a 6 pack on Sunday morning. There are plenty of...

3 of y’all are parked on rt 1. 200 series. 2013-2020. TX plates. I can hook you up with some silent trails around here on the coast.

What you said is 100% correct. You do not need to pull codes. If a head gasket is blown there will be coolant in the oil and oil in the coolant. That aint rocket science. A blown head gasket is very obvious. If you don't have both mixing someone is pulling the wool over your eyes or trying to...

I picked up a 2009 about 4 years ago. Had 147K miles paid 27K. Normal rust for the NE. Above average rust other parts of the country. No rot. Just bolts can be a PITA. It was maintained by a dealership for its life before me. The radiator was replaced. Original starter. I have 185K on it now. I...

Yes and weight

What do you mean by "more robust"? A properly rated brand name lead acid battery is very robust for a main battery. I hope your thoughts are not that one lithium battery will handle more electric load for accessories and keep a charge longer than a lead acid battery. I have heard someone say...

That is terrible. Sorry it happened to you. Do what every you can to make sure it's OEM glass. Even if it takes longer. There is a huge difference in quality. When I lived in NYC I kept the interior a mess on purpose. To a fault. It was intentional. All my gear and tools where under the mess on...

So you are tall. I would raise my head up to talk you. I almost never do that. I am 6'3". We camp a lot. The set up that I built is a drawer box in the back. The top is of the box is a bi-fold. Two hinged pieces that slide out of the back and open into a single platform when pushed back in. It...

Well at least you didn't toss them out too soon. Your right they absolutely will keep things cleaner. And its a matter of personal preference. When and if the day comes they do make sliders with a fill plate so it's not just tubing. I am running the BudBuilt sliders with the kicker and fill...

So you are saying in the rust belt you found a mechanic that is willing to work on a rusted vehicle. This also implies that everyone else will have the same result. In fact it implies a lot. To me it it sounds like you are stating it is ok to purchase a vehicle with a lot of rust and there will...

Where do you live again? ;) Unfortunately it's all to common in the lower 48. Especially the lower lower 48. Up north, at least around me, they are more willing and have a lot more experience dealing with rust. Show it to a mechanic in AZ they are going to tell you it's totaled.

Be gentle as possible. A 5-in-1 painters tool works well. They are thin but sturdy enough to lever on. Use a block of wood or plywood to establish a fulcrum point on the pan only. Do not lever on the transmission itself. If you scratch or bend the seal on the transmission itself it's going to be...
