During yesterday’s commute, on the lovely highways of Maryland, I was almost sideswiped by your typical inattentive, texting, get out of my way driver in a hurry to beat everyone to the next traffic light. Let me set the scenario for you. Early morning commute on Route 100, it’s still dark out, traffic is heavy…
General Tire is a subsidiary of Continental Tire AG and has been making tires since 1915 when the company was founded by two Akron businessman William F. O’Neil, “W.O.” and his partner, Winfred E. Fouse. They immediately focused on premium replacement tires instead of O.E.M. tires, a focus that continues today.
Took our new tires and rims to the local installer to have them balanced yesterday. DOT certified bead lock wheels fitted with 37 inch tires seemed like they would be a hassle to balance and make road worthy.
My first car was a 1982 Toyota Corolla Liftback. It was a plucky little car that required zero maintenance and ran no matter what you did to it. Being young and underemployed that zero maintenance feature seemed like such a bonus.With $500 from my parents, lot’s of Bondo, sheet metal from furnace ducts, and some hard work with my…
It’s been quite some time since the initial review of the Falken WILDPEAK MT-01 on road review. My schedule has been so busy that going off road has been put way too far on the back burner. That was remedied this past weekend and hopefully, there is more to come.
We just love new tire reviews around here. That fresh tire smell, the excitement after mounting a new set, the anticipation of how they will handle all of the terrain we throw at them.
Around here we love our Jeep soft tops. They, unfortunately, are messy and sloppy and tons of people cannot fold them properly. We plan to have a video detailing using the Sunrider option and another folding.
January 2015 we received a Warn ZEON 10S Platinum winch to test, review, and see how it handled the rigors of off-road life. Warn’s latest generation winch was updated with more power, less draw, and new features. The perfect upgrade to arguably the most recognized Winch brand. How has the year gone, and did it…
If you don’t know who Interco Tire is then we bet you know their most famous tires. Anyone who has ever dreamed of driving off road is familiar with Super Swampers. Interco does make more than one tire and we are currently testing and reviewing their TrXus MT tires.
Fuel injector cleaners, fuel stabilizers, additives of all kinds are on the market. It is a crowded category that can be hard to muddle through and make choice on what is right for you. Let us help.
Dealing with different scenarios off road can be hard. It is especially hard when you are new to off roading and have never encountered the obstacle before. Keep watching our How To series as a foundation to get you started and don’t forget professional instruction is available.
We have already covered on-road performance, and also off-road performance. We had not covered snow and while normally I wouldn’t do an entire article on snow performance, it does give me an opportunity to give a mileage update as well.
After running 12000 miles on our Interco TrXus MT tires we have definitely formed some opinions of them. If you haven’t read on our on road review check it out here. To get the skinny on their off road performance read on.
We may have to update the name of Project Hard Rock. This past weekend we added another JK to the stable of support vehicles for our ADV needs. It also means we can test more items to share with you and high light more products and new items for manufacturers.
