Just curious if anyone has any info on the new Forest River product called the NoBo for "No Boundary". Specifically the 10 series. My fear is that they are another mass-produced trailer that looks the part but lacks in true capability for the adventure trailer market. It seems to offer all of...

Autoblog is reporting that Hendrick Dynamics has prepped a JK Jeep with a diesel engine and has proposed it to the Government for a more light-weight vehicle for the battlefield. My thought after leaving the battlefield a few years ago...it's no HUMVEE but I do believe it has a great place in...

I decided to install a dead pedal as my left foot always seemed to be uncomfortable while driving. I'm going on decent 600 mile trip in two weeks and thought this would be a great item to have. A quick trip around the area proved that this will make a significant difference in comfort when...

I'm back in a Jeep, after a few years of playing with cars and doing the track/auto-x thing. I actually had to talk myself out of a Rubicon. I bought this vehicle with the intention of using it as a weekend (off the beaten path) family mobile and for the terrain I will be traveling, I felt a...

*************SOLD************ For sale is my 2009 KLR 650. What you see is a result of a NASA engineer (the previous owner) who took a 2009 KLR650 chassis and engine and modified it for a worry-free trip to South America, but was never able to go on the trip. The attention to detail is second...

I have an early generation 'stich Kanetsu wind-stopper heated jacket I am offering for sale. It is in great condition and a very warm dual purpose jacket. I have only used it for the heat once and it cooked me out. It connects via a SAE and the connector and button are both in good shape. I can...

SHTF....if you are unaware of what that means, it seems to be the internet acronym for $*** hit the fan. I am posting this information based on a real-world situation, as this really happened. I'm not real sure if it is appropriate, but also feel that of all places to share my story with, this...

What is the scuttlebutt on the new Jeep Wrangler? Independent suspension? Diesel? Wheel base? New 4wd system? Aluminum body? aaaaannnnnnnnnddddd.....GO!

I am no way affiliated with this company but wanted to say that as an online retailer, not only are their prices the most competitive (according to gunbot.net) they also shipped asap. I picked up a nice stash of 556, and it came very nicely packaged and the rounds look great! I haven't fired any...

Light weight, 450cc, good suspension, decent brakes, nice fuel range, 5k mile service interval and even an optional on-board camera system. What isn't there to like? Bring this to the US, please! :bike_rider: http://www.ccm-motorcycles.com/gp450.asp#.UwF8YnlH1lI

Oddly enough, the photos emerge on a car website, autoblog.com http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2014-ural-gear-up-first-ride/#photo-2167109/

My Trooper's life ran a bit short and the wife insists we keep a 4wd in the family. In my search for a new 4wd vehicle, I stumbled across this beast. Before I go into one of "those stories" I will just list what I know of it and what should be considered. Pictures are worth 1000 words. In my...

In my email today, I found a friendly newsletter from Ural stating they will no longer be producing carburetor based motorcycles. 2014 models will now be fitted with fuel injection and a host of other goodies such as disc brakes and a steering dampener. The email also stated they will be built...

I know, I know...it seems so much speculation has been ramped across the net and maybe this is more speculation. Long story short, I have been in discussion with my local Jeep dealer regarding them purchasing my Jeep Commander. After a few conversation emails, I mention "Tell Jeep we want a...

As many of you followed My KLR thread and watched the build of the bike, hopefully you read about my frustrations regarding the KLR. It was a great motorcycle and was wonderful in many regards. One issue to me was the lack of power to be able to carry the bike at a speed of more than 70-75mph...
