    Need help deciding KTM or Honda

    I would buy the Honda, or if your open to other bikes in the class and don't mind a 250, the Yamaha WR25R comes to mind, long service intervals etc. Both the Honda 250L and the WR250R have been round the world, not sure about the 450.

    Which Taco for AT Overland build?

    If you need a truck, TRD Offroad 4x4 will do everything you mentioned with little or no modification, if you don't need the truck, the 4 runner will get it done.

    Concealed Carry - What Have You Got?

    Quite the debate about everything but what you carry...but...I can sum up this law enforcement officer view (when I was working conventional law enforcement) I have never been too concerned about firearms unless they were pointed at me, or the person in control of them were threatening me. Now...

    Concealed Carry - What Have You Got?

    Yes, I am aware of the shortcomings of the kel-tec, it has always been the better than nothing choice. It has been quite reliable for me over the years in sessions, but its limitation is range, you gotta close to feel the breath distance, but better than nothing when wearing a pair of swim...

    Concealed Carry - What Have You Got?

    When a bigger gun is needed I have a compact Springfield XD in 9mm, but most of the time a small kel-tec 32 in a pocket holster does the trick, It can be concealed in a pair of shorts and flip flops etc. If in an iffy carry situation, I like to keep a good fighting knife nearby.

    Feds to open Utah’s national parks to ATVs

    As I read it, it allows them to be used on the same roads that cars, trucks and jeeps are used on now, in Utah they are street legal just like a car truck or jeep. I don't have a problem with it.

    Comparison shopping: Colorado, Gladiator, Tacoma

    Has anyone gotten close to 500K in a Colorodo? I know there are some Jeeps that have gotten close, and a lot of Toyotas, but I am genuinely curious about the Colorodo/Canyon.

    why are rooftop tents so expensive?

    While you may not know exactly what costs are, I think there are enough of them listed on Ali baba to come up with a reasonable price on the Asia sourced units. In my experience with Asia sourced product in the outdoor industry, you can get pretty close to cost if you have an idea of general...

    why are rooftop tents so expensive?

    Looking at the RTT business, and pricing and having experience in other products with the same business model, it appears on the surface that if someone wanted to start a company and import them you could sell at close to half the going prices and make a sustainable profit. The simple outdoors...

    Comparison shopping: Colorado, Gladiator, Tacoma

    I think most of those complaints are about the automatic transmission and programming attached to the engine.

    They put the 3.5 in the Tacoma in 2016 but the engine has been around since 2004 in different Toyota and Lexus vehicles.

    Harley to get into the adventure bike game

    Adventure bike it’s not, but it may have some appeal to those that like to feel like they are crossing the Sahara while riding thru town. Just keep some zip ties handy

    Time For A New Truck!

    I have about 75K experience with the 2500 6.4 I had a 2014 until I traded for different truck. You can actually get close to 20MPG on the open rd if you watch your speed and RPM. Once it shuts down half the cylinders you can get decent flat ground towing. Mine had the 4:10 Gears. Mileage...
