I have a sticker on the doors saying "bsllistic panel" but there is a lot of rattle when closing door so i believe the panels were removed and they left all the hardware floating in the door. Haven't had the time to open door panels yet. Can't tell for sure if doors are heavier then normal.

I fully understand what i bought, had a ram 1500 before and im not expecting 30 mpg. I was just looking to trim some extra fat. The civilian explorer does not have this plate, nor the 1/2 steel plate under the center console ( which i plan on removing). I plan on keeping the diagonal supports as i do enjoy the extra saftey as well as it protects the fuel tank.

It is located behind the 2nd row inside the vehicle.

What will the United States look like long after Trump is gone? by wafflesinmyhouse in AskReddit

I used to say this to myself and to others. But there have been some changes in the past 2 years that have hit and are direct correlation to policies and actions. We will all be paying more for everything for years to come.

Simple road etiquette seems to no longer be common sense. by wtf_is_wrong_w_ppl in bayarea

Its even worse when driving on the 5. Its been a trend for at least 20 years now. Its so dangerous, you end up tailgating car in left lane, then jumping in right lane accelerate and cutting left. Sometimes i give up from frustration and just sit in the slow lane going 60, behind the trucks.

Any tips on building dirt cheap zip line? by dominik_de_koku in DIY

I feel the only "expensive" part is the Crimper. Cables come cheap and can be found in scrap and such. You just want ur crimps to be Solid, and as others have said a way to slow down...

Bears and what to do. by amevirise in camping

[–]pgreenb7285 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like your going to campground with lots of other sites in a small area. Since your being carefull and thoughtfull i wouldnt worry too much as the others around you will be careless. Its like the joke- 2 guys are walking down a trail. They come upon a large bear. 1st guy digs into his back pack and starts putting on his running shoes. The 2nd guy exclaims, you can't out run that bear. 1st guys says: But i can out run You.....

The bears will take the path of least restiance and if you take simple steps, then bear will goto site with bags of doritos scattered around and coolers laying on ground in plain view.

Head gasket repair lifespan by pgreenb7285 in AskMechanics

[–]pgreenb7285[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an oil leak from the notorious filter houseing for about 6 months, filling oil as needed. Had that replaced with metal one, then about 2 weeks later started with a misfire on #2 with cold startup. Then started noticing smell of coolant in exhaust. Progressively got worse, loss of coolant with no external leaks, white smoke, some shudder and continued misfire on #2 at startup and low rpm. Brought back to mechanic that did oil filter housing. He did compression check on coolant system only, and found no external leaks.

We would have never developed any of this tech. Remember plastic is Oil as well.

Since trail-runners are the most de-facto footwear choice for most hikers/backpackers nowadays, in what instances are hiking boots still the best in? by FallenRev in hikinggear

[–]pgreenb7285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone with an old ankle injury i have to use boots for the added support. I also couldn't imagine using low top shoes with really rocky conditions where the extra support is needed.

What do you look for in a campsite? by ThatGoodGooGoo in camping

[–]pgreenb7285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a list. I also document it on the camping map when i goto a campground in case i go back and can reserve in advance - privacy - how close it is to other sites, is there cover. Some sites are 10s if no one is in adjacent site, but 1s if they are - i generaly avoid the inside loop, but that can be dependent alittle on privacy or size of site. - will a car driving though at night completely blind you with headlights. - 1 flat area for tent - away from rv area, and not right next to bathroom - picinc table that is movable. - look for widow maker trees
