Most winches show up with a bag of soft, under-spec bolts that look fine on the showroom floor and start looking questionable after a few seasons of mud, salt, and real pulls. I got tired of that long ago. Every Schwarttzy Hidden Winch Mount ships with a complete, properly specified hardware kit so you’re not…

You’ve been running reCAPTCHA V3 for Jetpack long enough to know the drill. Invisible scoring, fewer form submissions from bots that can’t even pretend to act human, and the occasional reminder that the internet is still full of people (and scripts) with nothing better to do. Versions 1.23 of the free plugin and 1.6 of…

I can’t get enough of the Eastwood Plastic Resurfacer Matte Black Aerosol Spray Paint with UV Resistance—it’s hands-down my go-to for bringing the H3 Hummer’s plastic bits back to life on my rig. The roof trim on my H3 was starting to look like it’d been baked in the sun for a decade, all chalky…

An important Off-Road accessory for all solid axle-equipped off-road vehicles is the heavy-duty differential cover. The HD Diff Cover protects the Ring & Pinion from damage where one of the tightest tolerance torque maneuvers happens. The Ring & Pinion is where the engine’s torque gets turn 90-degree to drive the axle shafts. With the precision…

When the summer season is coming to an end, but before the cold weather hits, we get together for a renegade skydiving party. Having commandeered an airplane, we jump out over this beautiful lake and proceed to party all night until the sun comes up. Join us on the adventure as we have fun at…

The other day the engine light came on in the 2008 H3 Hummer Alpha with the 5.3L V8. I took out my handy scan tool and checked the error code with the Android App Torque Pro to see what’s up. Fault code: P0430 Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 2) After some Google-ing, I found…

As the title implies, I can no longer produce the H3 Quick n’ Simple Auxiliary Audio Input and the short run of Bluetooth capable version. The featured image is an image of the part that I can no longer purchase because it is out of production. But do not worry, I was aware of running…

Next time that vehicle is up for an oil change, I recommend getting the used oil analyzed at Blackstone Laboratories. “Oil analysis is a quick, nondestructive way to gauge the health of an engine by looking at what’s in the oil.” Source Located in Fort Wayne Indiana, Blackstone Laboratories provide an easy to understand report…

*Update – The pocket torch broke after a while in my backpack which was disappointing. It work great, just wasn’t design to take abuse. I wouldn’t recommend buying it until the make a stronger model.* A while back I went to REI and stumbled upon the SOTO Pocket Torch used for igniting and I have…
