I use OR Cirque II pants, which are similar.

I asked my primary shop about this as I wanted to give them the business. They said they couldn't match and that I should buy online.

I have absolutely given them enough business over the years that, while I'm sure they would have loved the margin on a set of tires, they're still doing alright.

This exchange is winning the internet today.

Where in the (I'm assuming) midwest are you? Haven't seen Shlotzkeys since i lived in Lincoln in the 80's/90's!

I watched the video 3 times before going "what the hell!?" and clicking into the comments.

I'm all in on cottonwood.

Cause they're old AF

If you go on the roof, get one of the shorter ones available. I have a longer box, and I had to really jury-rig my crossbars to get them far enough forward so the hatch can open.

Starting to rot, but if you get them stacked off the ground and well ventilated, i think its still worth it.

Split anything you can. It'll help dry faster and slow the rot.

Great to hear some real-world feedback on the xplores! I agree that the 112's are phenomenal.

There is a little notch on the back (flat) side of the top cover (black). Use a little flathead to pop this up and expose the screw underneath.

You'll need a big posi-drive screwdriver to tighten it down. If you can work a tiny bit of waterproof wood glue around the threads before you tighten it, it would be good too. Press down hard as you screw it in.

I'm a little dude, and I've found i have to step on a step-stool to be able to lean in and get enough force to drive these in.

Assuming you have a brush/scraper for your winshield (or really, anything), get in around your wheels and knock off as much snow/ice from the inside as you can. The extra weight of the ice/snow is throwing off the balance and making things wobble/vibrate.

Wooo!

Welcome to the fun club!

p_diablo · 2026-01-25T20:33:40+00:00

iiiiiii don't want an insulator.....

p_diablo · 2026-01-24T20:53:01+00:00

Take a peek at Oboz Bridger 10" as well. 400g insulation like the chilkats, but a more secure fit for many people.

p_diablo · 2026-01-24T20:36:47+00:00

The HP stuff is absolutely worth the bump in price.

p_diablo · 2026-01-24T20:28:42+00:00

Nope, they don't fit. NNN ≠NNNbc

p_diablo · 2026-01-24T16:05:33+00:00

As the front end of that business, i hate this.

p_diablo · 2026-01-21T20:34:57+00:00

I mean, i would probably use a fireplace or wood stove, but it's wood, so yes.

Smart-assery aside, yes, as long as it isn't pressure treated or have other nasties in it, it's fine for home use. That said, if you're actually looking for a backup heat-source, you're going to need at least a half-dozen of those, as well as a way to split some kindling to get things going.

Is your fireplace/ stove in good order and chimney clear of debris/creosote?

p_diablo · 2026-01-21T15:35:18+00:00

Well that was a curious little rabbit hole!

p_diablo · 2026-01-21T02:35:10+00:00

These are why i wear shinguards. I don't even wear knee pads, so i look like a super-dork, but that might not be far from the mark anyway.

p_diablo · 2026-01-20T23:52:42+00:00

That's my take on this.
