You just can't go wrong with wool. Temperature regulating and warm when wet. I've tried Smartwool and Minus33 medium weight base layers and have settled on Minus33. Smartwool can be hit/miss with their products. Their medium weight is more slick than soft and tight in sizing. Minus33 is so...

I've got nearly 10k miles of 3.5 hour rides logged. Have something to complement riding for exercising. Something to work your top half. I'm in my sixth season now and my bottom half is noticeably more tone that my top. I plan on getting a rowing machine toward the end of this summer. I think...

I've owned a pair of Reef leather thongs for at least ten years now.

They should have a strap down option (à la Kuat) for the rear tire to accommodate touring and commuters with fenders. It would be nice to simply leave the rear arm folded and use the strap. Better than the fender cozy they offer as it's relying on the supports of the fender. Kind of a big deal...

Actually, for comfort and utility, suspenders are best. If I'm laboring indoors or out, I always go with them. I tend to wear cargo pants often and despite all my efforts, my pockets are usually full with various items so unless I set my belt to the point of discomfort, my pants will slip. Try...

Sounds familiar. After spending more time on my truck in the garage and on the computer researching stuff than in my truck driving, I made sure not to make that same mistake with my bike: Rodriguez. Simplicity and quality.

I still see Toyota as the best option out there. This 2017 is the likely candidate, I guess. How would you feel if Toyota fashioned an aluminum front bumper for this truck? Plastic front bumpers on pickup trucks make me feel like I'm wearing a sweater vest to go rock climbing. I'm about due...

I have an earlier version of this boot. Warm, dry, and light to walk in. And they sew in a quality footbed. I stood on melting ice and in muck for hours under trees dripping water and occasionally small chunks of snow on me. My feet felt wonderful. Beyond that, three years ago I became a...

You may get very different temp readings between these two. I have a gauge with it's sensor in the rubber portion of the trans line in front of the motor. While it accurately reflects the temp of the fluid in the pan to within a couple degrees, it does not correspond with readings of the OE...

This is what I have done. Given the cost of a 5 cup coffee maker, it's the best way to go. I have been considering Kitchenaids travel mug coffee maker but it just doesn't look the part for outdoor use. One fall off the tailgate and that may be it. Kitchenaid

Yeah, at 184k, if I'm suppose to change my fuel filter, I'm way overdue. You're not going to go more than a 265 tire on this truck so no gear change is needed. I've always changed my own oil. Mobile 1 and Baldwin filters. Doesn't burn a drop. And stock up on the oil drain gaskets. Don't reuse...

I can vouch for the DM-V1s. I put them on at the beginning of last winter. While many tires will perform well their first winter out and I've only used these for one winter, it was a heavy winter here in OH. Other tires I've used in the past (all ATs) were better or worse by some degree but...

I can agree with carrying a rifle or shotgun where the population density is less than the maximum range of the weapon, on average. My point here is that along with the individual right to carry the weapon is other folks right to be safe from that weapon. Does this seem extreme or do I just have...

I've been drinking Lagunitas over the past few weeks: Little Sumptin', Litle Sumptin' Extra, and Day Time Ale. I, like you have had my fill of hoppy beers. Seems there is some contest going on of who can make and who can drink the beer that most tastes like grapefruit rind. I'm drinking their...

You said in your OP you have a torn boot and nothing else. Replace the torn boot with a OE boot bought from the dealer. If it's an inner boot, I believe you replace inner and outer on that side. Don't replace parts unnecessarily: CV, axle. My truck is 10 years old, lifted 2" with 177k miles on...

I tried a pair of Louis Garneau's once and damn near had to walk back to my truck. Perhaps it was the shorts and my riding position. Perhaps it is my anatomy. Perhaps the chamois thickness coupled with the seat angle. I don't know but it wasn't long before circulation was cut off to a most...

It's been my experience that ATs are okay in the winter if they're brand new, first year. Second year, forget it. I'm running Blizzak DM-V1 for the first time this winter. It's one of those "Where have you been all my life?" moments. And if you're people are used to winter tires and you surprise...

I am now. Was an Icon fan. But my truck is getting up there in years (10 years and 174k miles) and I don't need extra things to take care of. The Icons lasted about 100k but it took two rebuilds and a replacement for a broken spring in between. At the prices they charge, they should be worry...

No you wouldn't. You'd be better off going with OME. Simple and reliable.

I bought Blizzaks for the first time this winter. I'm never running ATs in the winter time again. Fifteen miles an hour, second gear coming down out of Yosemite every work day (I quit). These Blizzaks are nice on hardpack and ice. My knuckles are no longer white. My backend no longer fishtails...
