Bead locks are for driving very slow with very low tire pressures (e.g. 6 PSI). If you do not expect to do that, then you don't want them. Most tire shops will not deal with them so you would need to put the tire on the wheel yourself. What is special about this Jeep that it came with 18" rims...

A mass migration.

I have no idea what a birria taco is. Never heard of it in Texas, New Mexico,, Arizona, or California. I assume it is some creation from New Jersey.

The Walkman introduced the concept of a personal portable entertainment device, with headphones to block out the world. Of course there are other significant (amplifying) events such as the Apple iPOD and Bluetooth ear buds which are so small it is difficult for others to see that they are...

I am not sure what is "retarded" about noting that the Walkman brought about a new era where people walk around with buds in their ears all the time, oblivious to the rest of the world, and losing the friendly relationships which used to be common.

Before the Walkman, people were cordial to each other and would greet people ("Hi", "How's it going", etc) as they encountered each other. Now it is rare for people to be friendly to each other as they pass. 😕

It was only in response to the post about if a VPN hides your MAC address. But I could also write about the privacy dangers associated with email if you are really interested. 😂

Take care because it is common to get a lot more lift than advertised!

The tire manufacturer's specifications regarding required wheel width are very useful. It is reasonable to avoid being at the limits.

How does the IAEA detect uranium particles without being there? Or was this really Iran's error during a "limited access" scheduled inspection? If one zooms in close enough it seems likely to find a particle which appears highly enriched, even the others do not. It is difficult to imagine Iran...

I notice that while outside doing stuff, there is only so much you can legally do in order to try to be cooler, but it is pretty easy to add more layers in order to be warmer. So if you can not live on the beach in San Diego, then a place with snow is better.

So it has something to do with lack of experience?

That might be a pleasant day in Texas!

If you act like this based on a "feeling" of being threatened, rather than "actually" being threatened, then you are likely to go to jail. If there is clearly actual threat then there will be more support for you. I did not notice anything which caused us to actually be threatened more than...

Yes, and it only felt like 136 degrees!

I drove a '79 CJ5 daily for over 7 years, and I only became concerned about stability after changing from stiff bias-ply tires to mooshy radial tires.

Does it have anti-sway bars?

In my experience, tire choice can make a big difference to the feeling of stability in a CJ. Tires which feel soft and mooshy provide less support than well structured tires with a firmer edge.

Yes, it is not just an attack on a country. It is also an attack on the Twelver Shia Islam religion, which is also significant in other middle-eastern countries.
