    fj cruiser rear door

    Some stuff always comes with me. Makes sense to keep it handy. Mollie racks are cool but dont fit my budget of "close to free". Hence the DIY. I used quick fists for the axe, saw, and the small upper mount that frequently carries a fishing rod or flashlight, but now holds my snow...

    Foldable aerodynamic front bumper

    Never seen such a thing. Might save gas by keeping the flaps off if they have any significat weight. 2% on a stock yaris might turn into .5% on a lifted and built up subaru.

    Now that the patent for lego is up, lots of cheap lego knock offs available for cheap. A 10" square is less than 10$.

    off the beaten path cross country skiing

    If you are a big guy person or carrying a heavy load, the middle product doesnt do well in powder. Otherwise, i think most compromise sets are good. Tracks are about 70-90mm wide. Keep that in mind when buying skiis if you ever want to use them in tracks. There is an area close to me that...

    off the beaten path cross country skiing

    Groomed could mean side by side tracks or could be a big flat track for skate skiing. Some of the "back country" trails around here never get machine groomed but develop rough tracks after a few uses and no new snow.

    off the beaten path cross country skiing

    I have some rosignol ot 65. They have partial metal edges and are just narrow enough to fit in groomed tracks but wide enough for extra float in the backcountry. Nnnbc bindings. Good setup. Id go wider next time since i almost never use groomed trails.

    Sharing GPX Files, Routes, and Specific Locations

    I feel the same. I spend some time making maps and collecting tracks. I do share, but selectively. some of it represents a lot of hours or, like you said, shows where some of my favourite places are. even avoiding mentioning names of places in blogs. i'll take people i think are cool there...
