    Torque in electric motors is hard to beat. Just ask Tesla...

    I've heard good things about the ARTIC. a lot of the reviews say they are similar in ice holding, just not as sturdy. so you can use yeti as a jack stand, but maybe not the RTIC?

    anywho, I won't buy them purely because they have clearly ripped off yeti. there are so many other high end coolers out there that look nothing like a yeti. RTIC has clearly copied most of yetis design from an aesthetic standpoint. I know yeti's are a little overpriced, and they surely aren't hurting for revinue, but I just don't like a business that operates like that from a moral standpoint.

    that being said, I'm sure it's a nice cooler. haven't seen many non-magazine article reviews of them yet, so if you get one, let us know how you like it.

    There are some great videos on YouTube on carrier bearing replacement it's not hard I did it on my 1st gen most important thing was to mark the the drive shafts so you put them back together the same .u joints are also aren't to hard again YouTube is a great tool

    After servicing my dad's POS dodge ram this past Saturday I noticed he needs tires. I ordered him 4 Cooper AT3'S from a local tire warehouse that my work has a account with. I read good reviews on these Coopers, but anybody here running them and if so what do you think of'em? Here's a pic of one, I like the looks of them.

    I'm looking for someone to fabricate me some steps. I know a few of you get down with welding and are capable of doing this. Here is a pic of the style of steps I'm looking for. Can anyone help out?Screenshot_2016-02-10-12-51-24-1.jpg

    Those look like they'd be a great tire in the snow.

    if you only have one set of lights, and no alternate car to drive, you a re asking for trouble. I helped a friend do a set back in florida, your first set is definitely more than a weekend job if you want to do the 100% best you can. you can probably toss a set together in a weekend, but you'll likely have to crack them back open at some point to make some adjustments.

    you obviously have to like the style, but when I destroyed my stock headlights, I went with a set of ebay projectors. tossed some HID bulbs in them and they are actually a great light.

    My '13 had the AT3s on it when I acquired it, haven't had much time in the snow with em but from what I've seen so far they work well, in the wet pouring down rain I've been impressed so far. The previous owner kept good notes on the mileage so I can tell you they currently have 30k miles on them.
    I was running the ST Maxx on the Dirty ol Dodge (best set tires I put on that truck) when I traded it in, for a DD I prefer the AT3.
