I agree. There are others besides State Farm but once you get up there in value they all decline.

Harbor Freight finally had a coupon for their 3-ton jack so I picked one up yesterday. I put it together and did a quick test. Seems well built and reasonably well thought out. I think I'm going to order this mount to put it on the wall of my trailer. I like how this mount has a threaded strap...

That might help shield you a bit in case of a liability situation but it won't reduce your insurance premiums any. You still have to have an underling base policy that an umbrella sits on top of to then give more liability coverage. If anything, an LLC would likely complicate things on something...

I had all the Dewalt (yellow) stuff already which I really like. The box came with the Snap On (red) impacts, batts and chargers. I'm trying them out to see which I like better. My first use of the 1/2" Snap On impact and I like it. You don't seem to feel the impact blows and hear the clacking...

I went with the Ernst for wrenches and screwdrivers. So far, I like them. I had enough of the Hanson trays for sockets but will need something for Allen sockets, torx, and swivels that won’t work on the Hanson trays. I’ll probably order some Olsa or Alien’s for those.

I like the looks and organization of that style. Unfortunately, they take up too much room. Even with my new gigantic box I would run out of room. Yes, I have a knowledge I have a problem buying too many tools. Well, if that is a problem that can exist?? Don’t think you can ever have too many...

Curious what folks like for toolbox organizers? I just scored a huge triple bank MAC box with side lockers and I need to get it organized. I'm pretty OCD when it comes to this type of stuff :). I was looking at the Alien Space Saver and the Olsa brands. Any recommendations or actual experience...

You’re about 100 miles south of me. I’m in Oregon. City. Let me know if you want to connect and dune sometime. I’m up for any of the Oregon dune locations, St Anthony’s or Glamis.

Where in Oregon are you? Where do you dune?

Correct! I checked virtually all known companies and State Farm is the only one that insurers if you have higher value car. And yes, bend over and prepare for a dry insertion when you get the quote. If you get a SF agent that quotes you something lower they made a mistake and it will be...

Went there once with the family about 10 years ago. Not much there, no real dunes and the sand isn’t really sand, it’s ash. I have no plans to ever return.

I was just thinking about you guys the other day and how much fun it was to ride with you and your family. Wish I could go again but the wife and I are on a flight to Mexico currently. Have fun and be safe!

When I had my new car built I had pulls for the fire system put on both the driver's and passenger side. My logic was; what if the driver (me) is knocked unconscious in a roll-over or wreck and the car is on fire? I want the passenger to be able to discharge the system if necessary.

I need to get a new off-road jack. My 1.5t HF with the lift kit is too small for my new, heavier car. I also want a stronger jack to keep in the trailer in case of a trailer flat. So I'm looking at all the 3t jscks out there. There is a lot of competition and new stuff in this market segment. So...
