    I like not having to rely on internal batteries like the Karnage welder has. 10+ years down the road when I've neglected them and the welder is dead in a pinch, but I always know how the truck battery is. Plus it being smaller with less stuff to bring with (or forget), made it a no brainer for me to opt for the Bun since it's stone age simple.

    I think I caught mine on sale from Poly Performance FWIW.

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    Karnage's website is annoying AF, with everything adjusting constantly to the different sized pictures in their slideshow at the top of the website.

    Because I do a lot of my big trips solo (it is just recently that I am dragging like minded people into my mayhem), I am leaning towards the Karnage. I also like that it allows you to stick as well. Whish there were more longterm reviews to know how it holds up. Just my current thinking...

    Yep, there's something to be said for it being a completely stand alone unit too. I'm very seldom alone outside of fire road type of wheeling in my currently imaginary stock-ish truck so the Bun fits my use case well in a space constrained truggy.

    I wish I had pictures of the "88" Toyota pickup I had. It was black with a white cap. 4 cylinder 5 speed with a 4in lift and 32s. I aways said that it could spin a tire on a bubble gum wrapper.

    December oil changes in Wisconsin... laying in the snow freezing my ass off. As long as I'm cold I should do that other wheel bearing. But the XTR drive train on my fat bike. Decisions, decisions... Fat Squirrel? Fruck, so many ways to go.

    I remember days laying in the snow, replacing exhaust pipes and cv axles.

    Hands so foykin cold you can barely feel the wrench but the knuckle busters are felt ×10.

    House with 2 car attached garage.
    Best investment so far.

    One of the few pictures I have left from "back in the day." Started building this in 81 or so.

    Bet all your brake related ones Are showing because of the trailer system fault. System tends to be overly aggressive when it comes to safety related dtcs.

    As for cylinder 5.... Plugs and coils, and
