Anyone up for doing Sevenmile on Friday morning? April 3. Heh.

Looks like the top of Mt Patterson. But I think the flagpole is different.

The seats are so dang hot! When in the cold I appreciate it. But they get turned off after 5 min. Ha.

Yes, that’s the email I use. And I keep replying to their replies so they see the history.

Oops. Forgot to share this update from January 26. Q2 is fast approaching… “Product management is currently aiming for a Q2 2026 release for the kit. I know this has been a long time in the works. The team is working vigilantly to be able to have a kit available as soon as possible.” I...

It was totally worth it. Now I understand the expense (especially going through a set of tires every 3 days). But the facility, as you know, and instructors and vehicles are great. You get a lot of seat time. Maybe 1hr total of classroom. And the rest is in the field driving or watching. You...

I just did the 1 day AWD class @ Dirtfish this Saturday and it was SO MUCH FUN!! It’s great once you get the hang of weight transfer and left foot braking. Hitting a corner slide perfectly and accelerating out of it is so satisfying. Consistency is a challenge however! Was wondering how the...

Apologies if I missed this but what size tires do you run? I love the SoCal desert area. In Joshua Tree I’ve only ever been on Berdoo Canyon and Pinkham which are beautiful but not challenging. Berdoo is an especially great way to get into the park and it’s fun to take people who are not serious...

Ask Shock Surplus. I waited for maybe 4-5 weeks but this was back in Q3 2025. Maybe my review caused a rush. Ha!

The BougeRV has been knocked around for two years. Still works. However the 12v power cord that goes into the optional built-in battery comes loose when off-roading. At least there’s a loud “beep” I’m familiar with when the fridge turns off as a result. But it’s never been a problem. Stays cool...

Out of curiosity why don’t you use propane to boil water? I tested out my kitchen electric kettle and was amazed how much power it consumes. But that’s the nature of resistive electric usage. I’ve been thinking of getting one of those Japanese butane burners. Quite compact but also burns very...

I found that I don’t need much power on the trails. I have a Bluetti AC180 but found it overkill and huge. I settled on a Ecoflow Trail 300 which only has USB/12V outputs. It’s very compact. Powers my fridge and if I need to charge a radio I can do it via USB. Have small LED camp lights. But I...

Blizzaks are great snow tires. So are Michelin CrossClimate2. Had them both in Sierra snow

@SPVPARTS also has mounts and wiring harnesses for fog lights for the capable bumper. I’ve had them in for over a year and the wiring is very good. I chose Baja Designs. However I will say the downside of LED figs mounted low in the bumper is that snow/ice will build up on them when it’s...

Love the prose, context and backstory. Very cool review. Lot of pluses on the RK coilover build quality. Always fun to read your posts.

The row 10 instruction doesn’t work in the 2025?

Nice! One irrelevant detail I didn’t mention in my recent review. The 8112 packaging material is cool. Little recyclable cardboard pyramids. A whole lot of them.

Nice spaceship/tent!

Nice. It’s a good trail to practice on as it’s short and has a bit of everything. Did you come down the backside? I’ve only ever gone in & out the same way. The fog has been extreme! I’ve driven from Berkeley to Truckee twice this week and the valley is so dark. I start in sun, hit fog near...

Took at least 4 weeks. Pops ordered them. Basically the same price as Shock Surplus. And the same wait time. They arrived in early October.
