I laugh at the bikes, not the gear. That I take very seriously. Have you ever looked around at other drivers, staring at their phones? Have you ever opened your door at 40 mph and looked at the asphalt rushing by like a grinding wheel? Dress for the crash, not the ride. The dummies you should...

Bro... I get that you're trying to become an 'influencer' but clickbait AI thumbs that have nothing to do with the actual content of the video turn a lot of people off. But I get it. Truthfulness does not equal views. "My wife and I go camping and see bear poop" doesn't have the same attention...

Wranglers have the softest sidewalls of all the tires in the warehouse. I sold parts at the dealer and wholesale level. Walking through stacks of tires, poking the sidewalls with a finger, Wranglers are by far the softest of them all. This not only bad for flat protection but it makes a...

Same applies to the 'Adventure Bike' genre in the motorcycle world. A comfortable, upright seating position, plenty of power and nimble handling sells a lot of customers. Being able to off-road is nice but in reality, a 500-650 pound bike off road is still a pig. The real appeal is comfort. A...

Nope- not me. I live in ugly, flat Colorado. No need for 4wd here. Driving off road is dumb and dangerous. I destroys the environment and ruins resale value of the vehicle. They need to ban that nonsense.

I can shed some light on this from the other side of the counter. I worked for Autonation wholesale for a couple of years. I sold Ford, Toyota, GM, Chrysler, Nissan, Subaru and a bit of Fiat. All of their parts catalogs rely on VIN to find the correct parts. As stated elsewhere, there are...

Wow. What a bunch of A-holes. Dude is starting a business, offering a product many may need and all you do do is S*** on him. True Americans should be ashamed. We need to celebrate entrepreneurship, not crap all over it. If you want to do that, go to Reddit.

I do not see a DOT, SAE, or FMVSS 108 compliance claim for any of your lights on the website. Are these lights legal for street use? If they are not, that may create liability issues after a rear-end collision, especially if the other side argues the aftermarket lamps were noncompliant or...

Those look very dark. What tint did they use?

My '61 Beetle was a 2 door, 3 seater because the floor pan was so badly rusted it wouldn't hold the passenger's seat. My high school buddies loved it- they said it was like riding in a limo. My girlfriend wasn't so fond. We were going to a movie and drove through a puddle. Her lovely white...

Went north of Steamboat Springs, up around Hahns Peak. Tons of roads to explore up there. It was dry, dusty and ripe for a fire. There is a Stage 2 fire ban in effect, which means you can't even speak sharply for fear of ignition. We came back Sunday morning. It's about a 4 hour drive to...

Kindred spirits! I am trying to decide between Flat Tops and north of Hahns Peak this weekend. Leaning north to stay out of the smoke. But if I go Flat Tops, I'll look for ya. And Maze District makes sense, needing extra fuel. I have dirt biked down there and it is a LONG ways to anything...

Where are you going that you need additional fuel?

Northeast of Wellington Lake, along Buffalo Creek in the Pike NF, Colorado.

A word of caution- If an aftermarket vehicle light doesn't have DOT or SAE markings, no FMVSS 108 compliance statement, and no credible documentation from the manufacturer, it should be treated as non-compliant and not street legal. This is especially true for cheap aftermarket headlights and...
