  • Things You Don't Think About When It Comes To Owning A Diesel Truck

    On the surface, manufacturers like to present diesel engines as just another alternative to petroleum gas-powered internal combustion engines. Sure, they typically have more torque and other differences but when it comes to owning one, there are a surprising number of new parts and processes that you'll need to learn to keep it running efficiently. This shouldn't dissuade you from buying a diesel if that, in fact, is the best choice for what you need .. but don't do it blindly!

  • There's More Than Just Fresh Made Fudge To Explore While Visiting Uranus On A Guys Trip

    It was a hot and humid day while driving back to Michigan from San Diego this past summer and I'd passed mile after mile of Route 66 attractions without taking a moment to stop for a break. I was on a mission to deliver a car-load of booze across country and keep it as temperature controlled as I could. In a way I felt a bit like a smuggler in one of those space games I used to play... Then I discovered that I was going to be driving right by the world famous Uranus Fudge Factory... I knew I had to stop. If for nothing else, I figured it was worth a laugh to tell Heather and Jim that I stopped to get some fresh fudge from Uranus. What I didn't expect to find was that this a surprisingly comprehensive destination filled with all sorts of double entendre, dirty jokes, and "family" fun.

  • 2024 Toyota Highlander Review - Moving And Hauling

    For years I've looked at the opportunity to get a truck to take care of those periodic needs that I have where I need to haul a lot of "stuff". I don't have kids and so a three-row SUV had been something I never really paid attention to or had a desire to actually own. During our recent move from San Diego though I had the opportunity to test two very similar - but also very different - three row SUVs back to back. The first is the 2024 Toyota Highlander Limited and it was impressive if for no other reason that it showed just how far Toyota has come in terms of refinement. We already know that Toyota excells in terms of practicality and dependability but I was truly impressed by how well it handled and how easy it was to load during those dozens of trips between our loft and various places around town.

  • Convertible Sports Car Or Luxury SUV, Factors To Consider When Renting A Car For A Guys Getaway Road Trip

    As a travel advisor who has helped tons of men plan ultimate guys trips over the past decade, I've had many clients inquire about the best type of rental car for their getaway. For some the car is just a mode of transportation and so booking sometime basic from Hertz or Budget is sufficient. However, for others, the debate often revolves around choosing a convertible sports car or a luxury SUV from a more specialized rental company. When I first began to get these requests for advice I thought the concept was silly and folks just wanted to show off to high-school friends at reunions and look fancy for the weekend. However, the reality is that the right set of wheels can set the tone for your entire trip and so this is not a trivial topic to discuss!

  • Mazda's 2024 CX-90 Plugin Hybrid Is My Favorite Three-Row Family Hauler

    In the world of three-row family haulers there's an almost infinite number of options. It's a category that tends to lean towards practicality over fun and performance but leave it to Mazda to turn that on it's head with a vehicle that was as fun to drive as it was practical for loading donations and supplies during our move from San Diego a few weeks ago. During this gauntlet we quite literally took multiple trips each day where it was loaded to the gills but then needed to take breaks before doing it over again. The 2024 Mazda CX-90 Plugin Hybrid filled the bill so well that Heather and I immediately added it to our short list of vehicles to consider buying.

  • Upgrades and Optimizations To Make Your Car More Environmentally Friendly

    When it comes to adding mods to your car, the conversation is usually centered around adding power, adding lift so you can overcome obstacles, or adding something like a roof-rack so you can haul more stuff. However, right now I'm facing a challenge - I want to buy a new car so that I can make my vehicle more environmentally friendly but quite frankly - with high interest rates and high sticker prices, it's easier to look at ways to make my existing vehicle better for the environment than doing a full upgrade. 

  • Packtalk Edgephones Enable Seamless Off Road Communication For Riders, Drivers and Spotters

    It's honestly been a while since I've had some time to get dusty on the trails but I'm hoping to break that streak soon now that things are getting more stable and the weather is starting to cool off again. Plus, now that I'll be in Michigan - I have a whole bunch of new trails to explore. One thing though that remains the same, whether I'm cruising through sandy washes in 120 degree heat or ice crusted forest trails in Michigan - being able to communicate with the other folks in your pack makes things more fun and far safer too. While mobile phones are good on highways, on the trails they don't always work and that's where Cardo Systems comes in with their Packtalk Edgephones ORV.

  • King Of The Baggers Is Motorcycle Racing Like You've Never Seen Before

    Last month, I flew to Minnesota with Indian Motorcycle for my first King of the Baggers race at Brainerd Raceway, excited to learn what exactly bagger racing was all about. On the surface, the concept seems a little crazy, taking big, heavy motorcycles and racing them like they are sportsbikes. But after you see one whiz by you at 180mph and lean 50º into a turn, you start to look at it differently. And just like that, you're totally hooked.

  • Ultimate Motorcycle Comfort: Enhance Your Road Trip Riding Experience

    You're not alone in yearning for a smoother, comfier ride. Part of the joy of a motorcycle road trip is that unlike cruising down the highway with glass and steel wrapped around you, on a bike - you are exposed to the elements and connected to the environment that you are passing through. Unfortunately, that can sometimes be far less comfortable that the ride on a luxury SUV. Revamping your motorcycle to make the ride more enjoyable doesn't need to break the bank though. With a few tweaks, you'll be cruising in style and comfort.

  • Ways That You Can Make That Father Son Road Trip More Educational

  • The Ford F-150 Heritage Edition Is The Perfect "Throw Back" To The Future

    There's something special about Ford's F-150 pickup truck.

With the launch of the 2023 F-150 Heritage Edition, Ford presents a tribute to those generations of dads and grandfathers who have made the platform an American icon.

  • The 2023 Ford Maverick Hybrid Is The Perfect Truck For Guys That Aren't Really Truck Guys

    Simply put, I'm absolutely in love with the Ford Maverick and it is the first vehicle that has compelled me to put in a pre-order when they open later this week on July 17th. While many guys like big trucks because they ooze masculine power and brute strength, that isn't why I love trucks. My love of trucks is focused more on them being a tool for off-road prowess and exploring un-reachable places rather than the everyday experience of driving one. Regardless, there are times like picking up a grill, doing DIY projects, or going camping where a small utilitarian vehicle would be nice to have.

    That's exactly where the Maverick shines over it's brothers - Bronco Sport and Escape that share the same platform. This is the truck for non truck buyers and I'm hooked!

  • How to Buy The Right Boat For Your Lifestyle

    I'm going through the process of moving to a state with one of the highest per-capita boating populations in the country as well as thousands of miles of coastline along the great lakes and abundant amounts of smaller lakes that are fabulous for boating as well. Simply put, in addition to getting a truck... I'm saving up for a new boat too. Unfortunately, that's not as easy of a decision as you might think. For instance, in St Joseph where our new condo is - I can get a used pontoon boat and cruise the river and possibly the lake on a calm day but to go out and have fun fishing on Lake Michigan, I'd need a completely different type of vessel.
