All kidding aside, Filson used to be the Gold Standard for outdoor gear and I own a number of the old USA made items. Unfortunately, todays market allows once premier outfitters to sell offshore sourced garbage at premium prices. I switched to Duluth Pack many years ago for back packs and...

At the moment it depends on what keys are in my pocket. Maybe the Bronco or maybe the Escalade for the daily driver. Right now between cheat gras, fox tails, rattlesnakes and wildfires everything in the hills are off limits for my dogs. Come September 1, that will change and through the end...

Depends on what day it is. Off-Rodeo made me realize the usefulness of Goat Modes but I let the terrain dictate Manual/Goat Modes. I don't use the lockers that much especially the front and find myself in Baja Mode a lot just due to the dirt roads where there are some slippery spots. When it...

I dumped my Goodyears at 900 miles and went with MT Baja AT's. Highly recommend if you spend a lot of time in the pointy rocks like I do. Highway, well not so much as they are a little loud.

I am curious of the dimensions or MT part number though if you have them.

Which is why I'm holding off on those wheels.

hell, they all look like 4Runners.

When my dad became a journeyman mechanic making about $7-8K, he worried about making payments on a $15K house. Now most folks who make $75-80K are forced to spend $600K for a home, or more. My first house was tiny and $13K. Glad I bought my current home via a 2%VA loan 25 years ago. The...

When I fist started driving, gas was $0.23 a gallon and we averaged under 10 MPG and didn't care. Hell, taxes alone are 8 times that now is some states.

I'm so glad I am old enough to remember what real cars looked like. Buick did not look like a Chevy, Lincoln did not look like a Ford, and Chrysler did not look like a Dodge. Now every Mid-Sized SUV, Full Size Pickup look the same and American cars are almost a thing of the past.

Oh I did, for all 5 pair:)

Your welcome! Yep, they are way better than issue Jungle Boots (I still have two pair from the Green Hell). They have become a little spendy, my first pair was $124 I think, but they are worth it.

Except for the late fall/winter months, I wear Goruck Jedburgh mid's when I'm not traveling for work. They are coyote canvas with drain holes. Too bad they don't make them anymore but I do have their black leather (three pairs for winter use) and these...

I make a pretty good living but not so much that I would take a 911 muddling. If I had one it would be the GT3 and it would sit in a bubble in my garage.

I'm glad they dropped the Race Red Heritage. Everyone complements the color scheme and I've only seen two others in the wild.
