I bought the Olight 3 premium a couple years ago and absolutely love it. I primarily use it for hunting. I bought it for a couple of my buddies for Christmas and they love it as well. I can't recommend it enough. ...

I had a Carrier Infinity heat pump and air purifier installed 2 years ago. So far, I've had zero issues. Before that, I had an American Standard heat pump. It lasted about 12 years and was mostly problem free. I went with Carrier this time because a friend of mine owns the business and I trust hi...

[quote]Replace any plastic hinges with stainless, or better yet, Gorilla hinges.[/quote] I cut 3 pieces of heavy duty tow strap about 3 inches long, burned the cut ends to keep them from fraying, and used those for hinges when the originals broke. I used the original screws and added a small was...

re: Anyone shoot an Savage Axis XP FDE

I bought one 12 years ago as a Christmas gift for my then 7 year old son for his first rifle. It's a youth model .243. We sighted it in the morning we bought it and he killed his first buck with it that evening. He went on to shoot many more deer over the years and it never let him down. That bu...

I installed a Sony XAV-5500 a couple years ago in my son's 2013 Silverado. I bought it from Crutchfield. If you plan to DIY, there's no better vendor. I originally bought an Alpine unit, but I couldn't not get the steering wheel controls to work and it took about 10 seconds to boot up when I sta...

I mow 1.5 acres and rotate 2 sets of blades sharpened annually.

Rat 2 for me. I've lost count of how many I've bought over the years for me and for gifts to friends and customers. It's the perfect combination of quality, feel and price. ...
Thanks for the heads up. I ordered 3 this morning. ...

re: Best/Favorite Hunting Bullet?

Winchester Super X and Hornaday American Whitetail are my favorites. Both easy to find, cheap enough and plenty accurate/reliable for me across multiple calibers I bought a few boxes of Norma Whitetail Soft Point last year and my initial impressions with those are positive as well. ...
I know you didn't ask for opinions on other tires, but since others have weighed in I'll provide my 2 cents as well. I've only had one set of KO2's and I liked them just fine. The tread life is a huge plus. However I'm just not a fan of the price or the way they look. I was also not impressed wit...

I'll be needing new tires soon and have a 2" level. I went with 275/65/20 Nitto Recon Grapplers on my 2021 F150 and have been very happy. I've got a little over 50k miles on them and probably have another 10k miles left. I was looking at the Falken Wildpeaks, but damn they are HEAVY. For the sam...
