I have the same complaint about my 2022 Toyota 4Runner. For example, if I'm coming into a town where the speed limit is 35 mpg and I back off the throttle it instantly downshifts. Then as I'm trying to maintain that 35 mph through town the tach jumps up and down a few hundred rpm the whole...

This is how I do it all the time. Buy the tires on-line and have a local tire dealer install them. Heard from those who've tried it that even using a tire machine, changing an ATV or UTV tire is MUCH harder than changing a car or truck tire.

That's exactly why you are changing belts! Driving at low speeds in high range. The owner's manual for my Can-am Defender very specifically states that if the machine is driven below 15 mph then low range is to be used, else the belt will be destroying itself. I have 5000 miles on my...

I saw a map like this a week ago from a different guy...authors of these need to get together because their conclusions/forecasts are wildly different.

Wow! If the ones I just installed last at least 10 years I'll be a happy man!

Recently I had to buy some inner tubes for ancient trailer wheels that were all rusted and was amazed that I couldn't find any made here in the USA that would not quickly disintegrate. EVERY one I looked at on line said "Made in China" and most were brands I had never heard of. Finally came...

Been true here out west for a good 10 years now. Used to be, if a wildland fire got started the nearby ranchers and farmers would immediately mobilize, sending out their dozers and large tractors with discs to cut fire lines before the fire got too large and totally out of control. Our own...

I didn't know ziplock baggies existed back in the 40s and 50s???

Quite a few closed here in Nevada also. Algae blooms that happen every summer, some of which are rather toxic.

A beach on a lake and a beach on the ocean are two different things. My daughter LOVED walking the Oregon beaches at low tide, watching the sea lions and picking up star fish, etc. Tide pools are just full of little sea creatures and kids love that.

My tractors aren't nearly as big as Hay Dude's. I run 13 psi max in the back tires...I want to see a bit of a bulge in the sidewall. Much easier on me and the tractor and whatever implements I've got hooked up - and better traction also. Same with the front tires - don't remember the exact...

Hay Dude, every time I see the pics you post I'm reminded of how incredibly lush and green Pennsylvania is, compared to Nevada where the only green is an irrigated pivot.

Just make sure those trails you plan to go on don't have any off-camber sections. Those narrow side by sides have a much higher center of gravity than a quad and roll pretty darn easily.

This applies only to you folks who live in the "salted roads" part of the country. Here in Nevada, nothing rots. I routinely find old abandoned vehicles out in the desert and there is no rot, only faded paint.
