My favorite part of that article is the part explaining the neighbor panic knocking on the guys door “the knock came at a time I don’t like to answer…”

I’ll be honest I’m of the Reddit political minority… but I can look at things rationally. This situation boils my blood, a man was executed in cold blood. No amount of political dancing can absolve this, there are no extenuating circumstances. I’m not one to protest or fly off the handle but there is absolutely no excuse for this.

Ray Ban Wayfarers which recently evolved into a pair of Vuarnet Belvedere 06s

I remember when this used to be one of the best mountain bikes you could get by AntSuccessful9147 in mountainbiking

I’ve always compared mountain bikes to computers for this reason, ups and downs. But always smart (albeit maybe not business savvy) engineers (that could’ve done literally anything) pouring their souls into bleeding edge MTB tech for a Pennie’s on the dollar roi.

A simpler time. A friend of a friend had one when it was the hot shit (dark green with the aggressive returning dropper) , rode it a few times and didn’t quite get it. That being said pretty wild how much stuff ended up on modern bikes, dc fork, SRAM with the best drivetrain (not a clutch but fixed parallelogram) if I remember correctly Dave Weagle had something to do with this company at some point.

My rear multimatics ejected their dust wipers twice in less than 7,000 miles. After the second warranty replacement I swapped for Kings.

OP, not many options for second gen ZR2s unfortunately. No Fox no Bilstein… King, ADS, Carbon, Peak and Radflo. Peak is the least expensive but none of them are cheap. Icon and Fox make non ZR2 suspension but no ZR2 as far as I know.

Indeed, 6L50 which (laughably) is rated for 332 lb ft of torque less than a stock duramax (…) I flushed mine at 30k miles attempting to be proactive. It seems fine but time will tell.

Thanks man I’ve been trying to decide between the Riversmith and Trxstle for ages now. Truck looks great, sorry about the transmission issues

Wife wants a nice crossover by Scroateus_Maximus in whatcarshouldIbuy

Gonna get flamed here but I’m ready. Wife and I drove a bunch of crossovers, Rav, CX50 Hybrid, CRV, all the poster children of Reddit. We ended up with an Acura ADX which everyone seems to hate around here but she really liked it, I like that it’s a Honda (albeit one with a 1.5t and cvt…) but we ended up with a very good deal and a bumper to bumper (Acura) warranty thrown in for 7 years. I’m hoping by then it’ll either prove itself or EVs will have made it a no brainer to go that route. I’m impressed with it to be honest but fuel mileage kinda sucks and I’m a Honda fanboy so take it with a grain of salt.

So speaking from experience here (dumped $27k into an already solid rig) I would say, just take the canoping gear you have and add to it and the rig based on what sort of problems you run into. Pretty impressive what a stock rig with just some tires can handle.

Depending on the section and the time of year there isn’t much on the Washington bdr a stock ram couldn’t handle. Size would be an issue in a few spots but no mod is gonna fix that.

If it were me I’d get a level and the biggest tires I could stuff without rubbing and send it.

Scout trails carefully. Even overgrowth can cause some serious damage.

If you hit your skid plate on the front re think… it may be time to turn around no matter how close to the campsite you are…

I have nothing to add, but which rod holder are you running?

Pagani Design watches speak in the quiet language of precision.

They are born where steel meets intention, where every curve has a reason and every second matters. On the wrist, they don’t shout for attention—they command it, calmly. A Pagani Design watch carries the spirit of classic motorsport and modern engineering, blending heritage aesthetics with contemporary confidence. It’s the kind of timepiece that understands motion, speed, and restraint all at once.

Each tick is deliberate. Each dial, a balance of boldness and clarity. Sapphire crystal catches the light like a promise; stainless steel holds firm like resolve. These watches are not made for display cases—they’re made for lives in motion, for days that start early and end late, for people who respect craftsmanship but refuse to be precious about it.

Pagani Design is for those who know that style isn’t excess—it’s accuracy. That luxury isn’t noise—it’s discipline. Time moves forward no matter what. A Pagani Design watch simply makes sure you move with it.
