    Jeep Nathan and Tanja's 99 XJ Build up

    I'm not one to offer negative critique much but I'm confused why you made your cross frame bracket directly above your axle side track bar bracket? It looks like it will severely will limit up travel? You could quite easily move the bracket 3 inches forward. As far as death wobble goes I would...

    An spontaneous adventure bike ride report.

    I bought it used yes. It had just under 1k on it a few months ago. I've put 1200 miles on it shortly. I picked the classic model for the wire spoke wheels which are stronger than cast aluminum and better for what I do and taller bars. It's pretty amazing. The fit and finish on Ducatis is...

    An spontaneous adventure bike ride report.

    After hanging out for a while we jammed out to I70 at Salina and East an exit to Gooseberry where we shot up the canyon to find a camping spot before dark. Rehydrated food is pretty good these days. 225 miles of mixed dirt and street (starting at noon) is nothing to sniff at so I had no...

    An spontaneous adventure bike ride report.

    Dirt is cool and we like dirt so back to dirt. FR150 also known as Skyline drive is an amazing stretch of dirt that runs through a section of burned forest with some views to impress a landscape artist. By chance we passed a friend from or desert race club in her truck heading out to cut...

    An spontaneous adventure bike ride report.

    Only that they're both Scramblers. (Basically a road bike kitted to go off-road). Currently Ducati and Triumph make a Scrambler (by name) and Royal Enfield, Yamaha and others make them (by style)

    An spontaneous adventure bike ride report.

    @glockman and I took an impromptu, spontaneous, last minute and very unplanned adventure bike ride on Monday and it worked out amazing. I chose the unconventional adventure bike: my Ducati Scrambler- a small framed hooligan with real offroading chops. Pirelli MT60s. Actual KYB forks and shock...

    The Suzuki V-Strom 650

    A vstrom is pretty darn comfortable to me. And more importantly less than 10k. And they've been available with abs (and traction control) for a while. I'd be more inclined to go F800GS but Brian is afraid of all things European :p

    Coronavirus

    Very few to no symptoms but she's very very tired and sleeps most of the day. Not very lucid.

    Muffler recommendations

    That's awesome! Quiet is good these days. I had a 16-in cherry bomb on my old old Cherokee and my ex-girlfriend didn't even know I swapped the exhaust. It was the exact same loudness as stock.

    My Current Situation...

    I upgraded the auto in my 98 Ranger with all the 5.0 V8 explorer parts when I had it rebuilt. Shift kit and beefed up frictions and steels too. Now it's awesome. I can't seem to keep stuff from falling through the bottom of the bed though....

    Coronavirus

    I just found out today my grandmother (who is in a care center) has got it. Initially I felt anger that they haven't protected her since they haven't let anyone visit for months- I don't understand how they've got a wing of elderly with it. But then I've feel at peace with the idea that everyone...

    Work to live or live to work?

    ^he's right. Live on less. We decided we'd rather be big fish in a small pond rather than small fish in a big pond (homewise). We can be more generous with our time and money (and as a result our emotional availability) if we haven't allocated all of it before it has arrived. Being house poor...

    Any Mtn Bikers on RME?

    Sucks man. Glad you didn't get more hurt. When it comes to that I ditch my bike. I like my bike but I like myself more. Don't let it keep you off riding the bike again soon, mental blocks happen if you stay off for long. First crash after not riding in a while happens. I wadded up with Kevin B...
