Huh, it’s been a long time since I’ve been to the Needles district. I don’t think low range was a requirement when I was there. I think I did need a permit, vehicle requirement conversation was probably pretty short after answering ‘Wrangler’. I’ve seen Subarus on NPS trails, but the ones I’ve seen have always been… Read more

We lifted my girlfriends Forester and she easily navigates stuff that big 4x4 trucks struggle with. For reference we live in the area of SE Utah the article references. Driver skill and clearance are way more important than a somewhat arbitrary distinction between AWD and 4wd. Read more

This! I have a ‘24 Forester Wilderness and we took it to Redbird OSA a couple months ago and due to some discrepancies with their map and signage, we ended up on some gnarly trails by accident. We were on 3x at one point, which is considered a “badge of honor” trail. (I encourage you to youtube it to see what we were… Read more

I love Adam Savage and watch his builds regularly. But he’s a multi-millionaire who lives very comfortably and can afford to rent and completely kit out a very expensive workspace in one of the most affluent/expensive areas of the country to build personal projects for his own, already expansive collection of cool… Read more

That and I absolutely have ditched (4) brand new Michelin Pilots because they are hard, loud, overpriced trash. Fuck Pilot 4$.  Read more

That’s good. It’s one of those things a lot of manufacturers would cut on the basis of not too many people using it (GM is even doing it on some of the half-tons), but I’m glad to see Lexus staying true to the car’s off-road roots. Read more

Exactly. Either the top liftee didn’t call, or the bottom liftee didn’t listen/forgot/went home early. Either way, somebody’s fired. Read more

There’s a reason liftees look into and count gondola cars/chairlifts at the end of the day. When I was a liftee/instructor/patrol, the process was: Read more

My 2001 1KZ powered Toyota Prado still runs like a trooper, and has ticked over 440k, others have done over 800k. and a prior ‘94 Toyota Camry did 380k before a blown head gasket (while towing)  wasn’t worth fixing, though i’d imagine it could have gone a lot longer once repaired
