    Any boat guru's on here? Looking to buy advice/suggestions needed

    Jet drive sk is a lot of fun, but a little less efficient than a prop and they all generally have big blocks = lots of fuel. They handle big waves much better than you would think, given some common sense.

    Response to "Sponsor Not Paying"

    Fair enough. If Rukkastixx was really a sponsor, that puts even a higher burden of behavior on BFE as a business partner. This is really too bad for both parties.

    Response to "Sponsor Not Paying"

    I guess you can say whatever you want on the internet as long as you don't pretend there are no consequences for saying something. If you are a organization trying to get a donor to pay money, you may want to think twice before using this as a method to get the donor to continue paying.

    Response to "Sponsor Not Paying"

    I'm no lawyer, but when the agreement is between two business entities, it would be much more likely to sever the agreement under these conditions. Sure , based on what we see here, both parties have cause and could sue for damages. The only one who would win in that case would be their...

    EcoBoost

    My buddy has one with the same great experience you do. It seems to good to be true. Does anyone have any data on reliability?

    Towing with a Chevy 5.3

    I have an 07 suburban. I love the rig and the motor, but I haven't been nearly as impressed with it for towing as the general consensus here. I always thought the 5.7 was a bit anemic for towing and the 5.3 is even more so IMO. I will grant that it does like to rev more than the older small...

    I bought a new expedition rig. Welcome the G500

    I've been offroad a fair amount with g-wagons in our unimog travels and I've been generally impressed with their capabilities and reliability. Anyone who has spent much time outside the US, especially in third world countries, will not be surprised that Mercedes is the largest heavy truck...

    Mountain bike pedal questions

    You really need to see and try some on. Most every brand builds a more comfortable shoe with a better hiking sole. My current favorites are shimano brand. Last pair were pearl izumis.

    Mercedes Unimog

    Jay Couch over in Denver built a cool mog for magpul that was driven around at the shotshow a year or two ago. If you are after something customized, I would highly recommend him - www.couchoffroad.com. If you just want a good dealer to show or find you an existing rig, try one of these guys...

    Mercedes Unimog

    Your year range puts you in the realm of a mog that could have enough power and gearing (overdrive) to do the task. That being said, I pretty much agree with Kurt. Unimogs, even newish ones weren't really designed for long distance on-road travel. I love my mog (416 doka) for exploring and...

    Mountain bike pedal questions

    X2 on practicing on some soft terrain. Me and my boys all took a clipless tip over at least once back when we took it up. It seems stupid, but pretty common until the sideways twist to release your foot becomes second nature.

    Mountain bike pedal questions

    I have to join with Tacoma on this one. I love my platforms with spd clip less built in (Wellgo WAMD10). The only bad part is the clip is only on one side. I tend to like long rides with clip less shoes, but there are too many times that I like to hop on the bike with hiking shoes on and just...

    When is a cdl needed for non commercial driving

    Why? I've driven my big rig in Cali several times. Do you have some negative experience to relate?

    Tent Haters Society present: A disaster in progress

    Yup. Utah law says if it is less than 750 lbs when empty, it doesn't need to be registered.

    Where is this? The game...

    I'd guess the pony express trail out by Simpson springs.

    If the speedo sensor is on the tranny, then yes. If it is at the wheel, then no.

    When is a cdl needed for non commercial driving

    Oh, and get your safety inspection from any heavy truck place - I use Freightliner out on 21st and 5600 W. They are kind of slow, but do a good job and are not too picky. I live in Tooele, so I never have emissions done.

    When is a cdl needed for non commercial driving

    I have been hauling the mog with a semi for years. This is straight out of Utah's CDL manual (http://publicsafety.utah.gov/dld/docs/CDL_Handbook.pdf), page 1-1: That being said, I wouldn't drive an air-braked vehicle without understanding everything in the CDL manual and being able to pass...
