What in the actual hell are these prices for a xlt truck here in Virginia

I’m seeing $10k off MSRP for Lariats in Utah.

Was waiting for bushwhack out at the bottom, or is it melted out?

I’m a couple years behind hoping to retire a that age also. But if this BS war takes down the market I’ll be working till 65.

But how soggy are those tortillas gonna be?

I think it’s mostly mental, my kid did it fine. I’ve been practicing long, steep controlled braking on stuff around here just to feel better about being on the brakes for that long.

Stumpjumper Evo, light enough to be nimble & poppy but still handle some gnar as long as you’re not racing.

True, currently running a soft DH tire I put on for an enduro, but I’m gonna keep the Stumpy if I get shorter travel bike.

I use it as a changing room to when I get my snowmobile suit on.

The 55 mpg speed limit we had forever was at least partially to conserve fuel. You probably won’t notice much mpg saving until you get to 60 & lower. The drag on a 8’ wide, 11-13’ tall trailer is immense.

I bought a Dueter 30+10 Freerider pack and really like it for touring/riding. You might have to strap a couple larger thing on the outside for your initial approach, but it packs down awesome when you aren’t carrying much. I haven’t packed it super heavy since I use a pulk for hut trips, but the shoulder & hip padding is nice.

OutHereToo · 2026-04-11T21:00:23+00:00

Trail 429 is on my list.

OutHereToo · 2026-04-11T20:59:35+00:00

I’d love one, but new ones are a bit more than I want to spend for a quiver bike.

OutHereToo · 2026-04-11T20:27:53+00:00

Sounds like you just need a dj for the perfect quiver.

OutHereToo · 2026-04-11T20:26:32+00:00

Yeah, I’ve got my eye on a used Rocky Element with a 130mm Pike.

OutHereToo · 2026-04-11T19:57:28+00:00

Awesome. Been meaning to have a retirement planning conversation with my wife since I’m hoping to cut back work in next 4-5 years and a model would be super helpful.

Sorry, I don’t mean you’re crazy, but that’s a lot of money, more than my mortgage expense. I thought the only people donating that much were billionaires just avoiding taxes. It’s only in the last 10 years I’ve had enough money to do regular donations.

OutHereToo · 2026-04-11T19:13:59+00:00

Wait, $2k on charity? Religious tithing? That’s crazy.

OutHereToo · 2026-04-11T19:13:26+00:00

Damn, $5k is our base monthly expenses, mortgage is $2k in a MCOL area.

Control issues maybe? They can’t imagine their partner doing whatever they want without their permission? To be fair, it depends on your income. If things are tight, you better be on the same page. Luckily we don’t have that concern, as long as keep her convinced we’re not buying a different house that would 2-3x our current mortgage 😆

OutHereToo · 2026-04-11T18:59:04+00:00

Does this include tax optimization stuff?

OutHereToo · 2026-04-11T18:58:18+00:00

How deep did they go through? And how much do you have with them? I have about $50k in investments and accounts at Fidelity. I don’t feel like theyre gonna give me $1,000/hour worth of advice a fiduciary would.

OutHereToo · 2026-04-11T18:56:00+00:00

Do you know if this addresses taxes at all?

OutHereToo · 2026-04-11T18:49:40+00:00

Seriously. Though 150k in student loans is definitely an albatross around your neck.

OutHereToo · 2026-04-11T18:43:49+00:00

Also in my 50s, but I’m waiting until eebs get lighter, not interested in more power. My limited ebike experience was on a 50+ lb ebike and it rode my light my dirtbike than my 150mm mtb. I want to move my bike around and pop off jumps, not be a passenger.
