Somebody has some mental issues

I'll add to the case for synthetic in another scenario, and one I have been in a few times, and that is- long trips.

A multi-week long exploration trip is something I've done a few times in an old 4x4. Once in my 303, I did well over 3000 miles in a month when I stayed in Moab for 3 weeks. This is ...

I screwed up and forgot a before pic but here's one showing the container I was pouring the vinegar into after letting it sit in the tank for two nights, which actually looks a lot like the tank did.

I put in two gallons of the extra strong commercial vinegar like you buy at Home Depot. I would ...

I'm going to have a great winch coming up, ideal for a 710. This is a Warn 8000i in 24v. It will be functionally new with a new 24 Warn motor, new solenoids and new Dyneema SK78 rope. I'm taking a deposit for it now.

This is overkill for pretty much any Pinz but putting it out there anyway.

This is a very serious WARN M15 winch for any heavier-duty needs. Ideal for a 404/406 Unimog, equipment trailer, full size and loaded down SUVs, big pick ups, etc.

This one got it all.. $900 in new parts, plus new USA made ...

So we have an A.I. bot making posts now?? The other posts it made almost seem like real ones, but this is obviously not. Guess I'll have to start making people call for a chat before approving them.

But why? Anyone have a theory on how fake posts benefits someone?

I had really bad luck with two Bosch AGMs which I assumed were some of the best. This was in an old Gwagen I had... one lasted one year or so, and the other was showing issues at 2 years. My alternator was fine. It did sit sometimes but not that long. I swore AGM off after that.

The Odyssey (Thin ...

Yeah just thought it was a good idea to keep them topped off all the time since it sits sometimes for a week+ plus it can get pretty cold here.

I'm starting to suspect Ill need new ones soon though. The NATO Odyssey batteries seem like the best upgrade but holy crap they are expensive, plus I ...

Any possible issues using this on my two 12v NATO batteries in the Mog? I was tired of swapping my trickle charger over and got one of these 24v versions a while back (via a heavy discount on ebay)

This is probably the ultimate 4x4 (6x6) on earth to own. The rarity is way beyond what most understand and being into exotic 4x4's since the 90's, I've never seen anything like this come up for sale. A once and a lifetime situation. I've been around this Pinz a few times and it's the only one on ...

Thanks for the ideas. The budget is the main factor for me. So many small resto shops use the vinegar technique so I'm trying that one first I suppose. I think I'd have to buy too much of the speciality stuff to cover enough interior space of the tank due to the 40gal size.

The businesses that ...
