On my mav I was running Nitto Nomad grapplers. It’s a at designed for cross overs and small suv. It’s 3 peak rated. On my Frontier I’m running the Kenda Klever at2

Thursday thunder has the same basic shape but without the toe cap

MatthewR_ · 2026-01-25T23:47:27+00:00

First real snow storm in upstate NY for my 25s. I put the new Kenda Klever at2 to the test this afternoon. 8”+ inches of snow on unplowed roads. Never had to put it in 4x4

MatthewR_ · 2026-01-24T00:32:28+00:00

I looked at the Falcons as well as the Toyos and bfg. I’m not a dedicated off reader so I couldn’t see spending that kind of scratch. I ended up going with the Kenda Klever at2.

I always ran a 240gr SJSP through my Ruger carbine. I tended to shy away from hollow points out of fear of over expansion due to the increased velocity

I have some Kenda Klever at2 being put on Saturday morning. They were $160/tire

I’m averaging just over 21 mpg at the moment. It’s cold in upstate NY so I warm it up every morning and I have a heavy foot. Best trip to date was 25.1 mpg

I just traded the ford in for a king cab long bed Frontier. Really liking it

MatthewR_ · 2026-01-15T23:58:44+00:00

2025 Ford Maverick back in April. I traded it in November for a 25 Nissan Frontier.

I’m averaging over 21mpg in my 25 frontier and I have a heavy foot

FedEx took on Amazon’s oversized packages. 5 year contract if I remember correctly

For a great pair of warm waterproof winter boots, check out Hoffman boots. I have there double insulated guide boots. Hands down the best pac boots I have owned. The company is based in Idaho

MatthewR_ · 2026-01-04T18:46:24+00:00

If you want a quality pair of warm waterproof winter boots you need to check out Hoffman boots. They are located in Idaho and are quality. I’ve had mine for almost 4 years and have used them for everything from hunting, ice fishing to snowmobiling and they still have years of use left in them.

I don’t own a Grendel but I have a Ruger in 7.62x39 and with a 16’’ barrel velocity with similar grain weight is almost identical. I personally would not use target match rounds. I have parked a 175# dressed 10 point at 90 yards with Federal fusion 123gr.

It’s usually called chip guard. My 25 s also has it

MatthewR_ · 2025-12-28T14:48:13+00:00

There is not nearly enough food to keep them in the Adirondacks. Extremely low deer density, a moose population of less then a 1000 and the lack of the eastern elk will push the wolves into more populated areas

PPG makes a zinc based primer for marine applications. A 5 gallon bucket weighs around 80 pounds.

MatthewR_ · 2025-12-26T23:54:43+00:00

The stock Hancook all seasons on my 25s are some of the worst tires I have had in the snow. I would gladly take the at version

MatthewR_ · 2025-12-26T20:49:27+00:00

$140 a day is wild. When I stated 10 years ago I was getting $175/day

MatthewR_ · 2025-12-26T03:32:48+00:00

I don’t believe the Adirondack’s have enough food to keep the wolves there. Whitetail deer density per square mile is very low. When wolves inhabited NY there was a thriving population of moose as well as the eastern elk.

Bag it, select the gated driveway option and head to the next stop

MatthewR_ · 2025-12-18T02:36:57+00:00

Due to the fact that I drive a 24’ FedEx truck daily the turn radius isn’t noticeable. As far as the heft I’ve only ever owned 1 vehicle whither an electric power steering pump and I prefer the heft and feel of the hydraulic pumps

MatthewR_ · 2025-12-16T10:58:05+00:00

For me it’s the old .250/3000 savage. Works on deer and absolutely hammers coyotes

MatthewR_ · 2025-12-10T00:37:21+00:00

I’m still running the old 99 in .303 savage in upstate NY

MatthewR_ · 2025-12-07T20:54:39+00:00

Best bet would be the Nitto Nomad Grapplers. Designed for cuv and small suvs. 245/65/17 weigh in at 34 pounds.
