That looks like The Wall on Poughkeepsie Gulch. To be fair that is a much gnarlier obstacle than that video makes it appear to be. With that said my FJ Cruiser walked up it in stock trim.

I like the .gif summary review, I am in the market for a new carry on after using the same carry on for nearly two decades. I may have to try this out the features seem perfectly in line with my luggage desires!

I liked the rooftop tent that came out of no where.

I don’t get it either to be honest. I’ve owned a variety of them and rode a few more but years of riding have taught me that for me Adventure means picking the path very few people take, which means single track, two track, jeep trails and windy back roads. Frankly my plated dirtbikes with some taller gearing, big…

Absolutely agree. Had an LR3 for a while but it was unfortunately constantly in the shop and after stranding me in the middle of nowhere once too many times it had to go but I still miss that seating position and the greenhouse. Driving it felt so damn cool!

I’m right there with you. Personally I’d rather deal with a getting blown around a bit and some extra vibration riding a small bike on the road vs. exhausting myself riding the big bikes in the rough stuff as my trips always include both. Once you’re exhausted situations like the one your friend found himself in…

About double the 450's weight.

Unless you are an exceptional rider and your friends are not you’re going to be have a real hard time keeping your friends on CRF450's in sight on a bike that weighs twice as much. When you say woods I’m thinking technical single track though. If you’re talking bombing down dirt roads then sure.

Yes. Me too. Serious Want.

I can tell you from first hand experience with both, the TRD Pro is in a different universe of off-road capability.

They are stupid easy to ride. Much easier than a dirtbike or a snowmobile. I’ve been riding a Timbersled ST on a KTM EXC500 this winter and I was comfortable on it in about 30 seconds and carving shoulder deep in about 60 seconds. They certainly don’t have the raw power of a modern sled (Even on a KTM500 which will do…

Hey! I know this spot.

I am actually really digging the interior. I think that’s the first time I have ever said that about a Cadillac, perhaps any GM product.

Lots of great replies, one thing I am VERY surprised you guys don’t carry in your kits is some JB Weld Quicksteel. I have fixed more than a couple crank and transmission case cracks and punctures on the trail. Without it we would have been abandoning bikes and planning a recovery mission. I also carry a bit of extra…

This video doesn’t show the tire in action, but my friends reaction to riding in my FJ with taller tires running lower tire pressure (Goodyear Duratrac 315/75R16 at 16psi vs. Goodyear Duratrac 265/75R16 tires at 45psi). Bear in mind he has the same vehicle with the same setup, the only difference being the tires. We…

For everyday use, sure. But for off road use, no. We had to pull the tracks off my parents snow-cat to repair some damage from last winter. We initially tried to tow the cat back onto the tracks with a 3/4 ton GMC Sierra Quad Cab with the Eaton G80. The Cat didn’t budge. Didn’t even move an inch. I strapped it up to…

I’m curious if there are certain areas that have a higher incidence of road rage towards bikers or are culturally less accepting than other regions. I ride all year round in Colorado and have for many years. All I get are thumbs up and little kids rolling down their windows asking me to rev it up at lights.

Scrambler Du-kitty?

Never had the privilege of owning either but I did get to spend a fair bit of seat time in the first gen with both the 8 and 10 cylinder. I liked the 8 better for two reasons:

Thanks for the write up! You’ve given me a couple new options to look into. My primary helmets are an Arai XD4 (Which I like with and without the visor, it looks a bit odd without it perhaps but it is the most comfortable helmet I have ever worn and I don’t always want the beak). And the BELL Moto9. I use this as my…
