    Falken Wildpeak AT4W

    Edit: Turned out that after 5k miles when I went to rotate my Falken's I noticed that they were not the "E" rated ones that the outfitter sold / charged me for. They had made a colossal mistake and installed the wrong version of these tires. They did make good and got me a set of Cooper AT4's...

    Pics of your VAN! Post up!

    Just got the van back from getting a Van Compass Stage 1 Topo 2.0 kit with replacement Opti-Rate leaf springs. Plus the standard FALKEN WILDPEAK A/T4W LT245/75R16 E tires. Drove it back from Truckee just now to home in SF and it felt great. My needs are to haul my Moto on the back so I went with...

    Show your Thumper!!

    Paul, I'm not gonna lie - I still miss my KLR and wish I had kept it. Like you I just didn't really have room for it, and truth be told I don't think I'd ride it much because my CRF300 and my 1090 are far superior in almost every way. I hope you end up loving the T7 and can't wait to see what...

    Someone explain why GAIA gets so much love

    I'm going to check out Guru, thanks for the tip. I'm still using Gaia a lot since I'm familiar with it and have a lot of tracks saved. I'm a pretty basic user so it's mostly just recording tracks on rides or hikes. I also use it for following tracks as a second to my GPS. Some friends use...

    KTM's....

    My experience owning a KTM1090 that I bought new is that I've had 20k miles of absolute reliability. I say go for it! It's not likely that you'll miss much about your Strom.. That was also my experience going from a DL650 to a KTM 990 and then the 1090. Don't get me wrong, I loved my Suzuki...

    ImNoSaint's Tiger Explorer 1200XC Build

    I'm sure Mrs Imnosaint was thinking ****** when the headders were in the oven... They came out great. I'm hoping to be at noobs in Death Valley in March.

    My newly acquired Xt 225.

    I love the idea of simplicity and utilitarian use. I am curious why your are going to replace the Husky and or if you are going to miss the power and capabilities of the Husky?

    Abandoned/derelict sites

    Back up to Sweeny Ridge to the former Nike Missile site They tore down all the structures that had some killer graffiti on them, but it's still a wonderful hike with views. Parking spaces still showing, but nature is coming.. From several years ago

    Lack of snow.. That sucks. Looks like a cool event to be a part of.

    Severe weather or other safety alerts to your InReach, Zoleo, etc.

    Update on my user experience. Sign up was easy and intuitive. Alerts were definitely working :) Communication from Adiona has been great. The email updates answered most of the questions that were bouncing around in my mind. Specifically the seemingly duplicate alerts which weren't actually...

    Engel MT45 Noise

    Well if it is a problem with the unit then warranty should cover a replacement / repair. Everyone will have different tolerances and experiences to sounds. What's loud to me might not be loud or annoying to the next guy. It's all subjective to the individual.

    Engel MT45 Noise

    I don't think I would recommend the older style ARB / Engel to folks these days because there are so many newer generation fridges with more features at a fraction of the cost of an Engel. I will say that I am an Engle fan boy though and own three of the older style units - MT35 / MT45 / MT60...

    Off Road proof oil storage

    This could be a great idea using one with the sport caps or even the ones that have the flip up cover on them. Thanks for the idea, but only concern is if the oil will break down the plastic in the bottle over time.

    Engel MT45 Noise

    I turn mine off at night if I'm sleeping in the vehicle with it. Once while camping with three other Engel/ARB owners you could hear them across the camp site from inside their vehicles turning on and off all night.

    Severe weather or other safety alerts to your InReach, Zoleo, etc.

    That makes sense. I should have known that because I do use mine quite a bit both individually and in groups. For the inReach you would need to be in tracking mode for this service to know where you actually are when an alert is generated. Otherwise it might not be that valuable. Not everyone...
