Vintage. You guys have any idea when the first webpage went online? It’s recent to me… but your probably so newb that it was before you were even born. 1990 FWIW. And you tube? Psshh… please. We used to right click and save everything, and at one point I had a pretty sick collection of vids. HAD… a pretty sick […]

1 I’ve known for a while that I haven’t been entirely smart when selling things… but it seems like I’m not the only one whose known it. I’m missing the scene hard. When it comes to selling stuff though… I actually haven’t done that poorly for myself, although there are certainly some examples where I practically have given stuff away for […]
My Foolishness
After our truck got broken into, I made the mistake of taking it into the local Speedy Glass. Speedy Glass Crowfoot and I have a pretty long history. And it’s been a postivie enough history. I’ve probably given them 2000$ in the past ten years… which I guess isn’t that notable, but aside from tire mounting, glass services are the […]
Don’t Let Someone Else Work On Your Car .
I honestly don't understand how Canadian's can find love for Kei trucks... but none for Kei cars. Compromises in power and space are accetable when your out hunting or running trails, but ti's not on your daily commute? Can't say I quite identify... but Kei trucks are cool. We came across this thing on our recent run. If you know your Kei trucks you'll identify it as a Subaru Sambar. And the tracks? Well... I originally told Ryan that they were a factory available part. I thought I'd seen it somewhere... but in looking to confirm that, I found no support of that claim. Lots of companies are making kits to convert your Kei truck however. Though I'm not sure how any thing like that is actually practical to own...
Kei Truck Love
I'm missing our new camera hard. Ran "Top of the World" on Sunday with a small group that included Ryan and his monsterous YJ. Monsterous? Well... maybe not but it's certainly a capable rig. And even though it's running what most publications would call a smaller tire size (35"), it has a lot of advantages over stockish rigs on 31's. Out on trails and actually facing adversity... the ZJ has some major disadvantages over other more popular rig choices. Facing 2' drops and gigantic walls of dirt and mud, polyurethane bumpers seem like the dumbest idea ever. Especially when they are as long and as fat as those on the ZJ... even after my trimming. And clearance... whether a stock XJ or Toyota or Nissan would hit bottom as often as I did I don't know, but I hit it way to much for comforts sake. I was definitely glad for the armour I do have, and will certainly invest in some more. And the 318 that is so nice on the streets and highway... is pretty irrelevant on the trail.
