Walked up! with touring skis or a splitboard, you attached "skins" to the bottom of the ski that are similar to a cat tongue material, they only allow glide one way, and traction on the snow the other. The binding in walk mode pivots so you essentially cross country your ski all the way to the...
Awesome! that sounds very similar to mine, all the same features and everything. And I agree, having a way to open from the inside is MANDATORY. When I ordered mine, I wasnt able to look at any of the options because the closest dealer is almost 4 hours away. I just told the guy what purpose I...
Got the Ranger out for a good drive up in the snow for one of the best days i've ever had ski touring. The drive too and from, as well as the snowboarding was a highlight. The whole day was a highlight!
Wow! thats a very good deal. I would do the exact same thing, just spray it with bedliner or rockguard and call it a day. If you do it right it would actually look very good. One recommendation I would make is that I find my Prinsu (or similiar type rack such as rhino) is way more multi-use and...
I would have personally liked to go with a rooftop tent because I dont often camp in really cold conditions, but most of the times I am camping, I have my great dane with me and there is exactly a 0% chance that I would get here up into a rooftop tent haha.
Thanks! The reason I went with the Duratrac is because I can run them year round. They are great in both mud and snow, and I rarely deal with icy road conditions in my location, 75% of my driving is clear roads, and the rest is either offroad (the sidewalls on these Duratracs are very strong and...
Thanks man! we are so spoiled with the trails we have in our local area thanks to both paid trail crews and thousands of volunteer hours. I take advantage of them almost everyday throughout the season!
Just thought id add that I bought a Yakima Hold up EVO2 and I absolutely love it. I am a very avid mountain biker (rode 165 days last year) and even though this rack is new to me, I can tell it is going to hold up well and I know many people around my local area that use this same rack for both...
If you hate waiting for the quote, wait until you have to wait for the topper to show up after its paid for! I was told 2 more weeks multiple times until I finally got a call that it arrived. You should get yours for quite a bit cheaper then I got mine, simply because everything is more...
For sure! I also got a quote on an ARE topper, but ultimately went with the Leer simply because it was slightly cheaper but build quality seemed top notch. The Leer was also a little more readily available (still took me 3 months to get it) My topper is a Leer 100XQ with the following add-ons...
Took mine out scouting for Elk locally. Found them! Also, had to use the rear diff lock and crawl mode to get myself unstuck. Was surprised how well it worked. I was just about to get the traction boards out (didnt want to swallow my pride and call my buddy with a Toyota) and thought what the...
I was going to do the same but couldnt stand all the sand and snow getting into my bed anymore, I have an actual bed made in my bed and i cant believe how much water gets in while driving down the highway! Took it to the heated bay at work and the tape seems to have stuck surprisingly well. Will...
Installed the ESI tailgate seal kit this morning on my truck (Randy the Ranger). After installing the canopy, I've noticed that while driving on dusty roads the gap between the tailgate and body acts like a vacuum and allows in a surprising amount of dust. The kit comes with pretty good...
I hear your concern about drilling into the cab, I know that if (and when) I swap my yakima bars for a prinsu cab rack, I will let the pro's do it haha. I installed the Prinsu rack on the canopy my self, but it was very easy and no drilling required as I ordered my canopy with Yakima roof tracks...
Very well said. I think its one thing for an actual accident to happen, but a totally different scenario when you manage to crack an engine block in half hour of driving. That to me does not go hand in hand with driving it as its intended to be driven. The craziest thing was, it stall ran and...
I will check when I get home later today for the exact size. I would highly recommend looking at Prinsu Designs as well. The Prinsu topper rack I have is extremely functional and much more multi purpose then my yakima cross bars. They are very easy to mount awnings to as well. I have a 6foot...
Thanks Matt! we have a few local overnight trips planned when the weather here gets a bit nicer, and if COVID restrictions allow and it makes sense too, will be spending a month in it in the Yukon and northern British Columbia this summer. I take a-lot of photos so will be sure to post any good...
