First 1,000 miles down on a the .

The adjustment to maneuvering the compared to the didn’t take long—but my access to torque with the M8 instant.

Riding at (or above 👀) highway speeds is definitely much more enjoyable on a bigger bike—even more so with the stage 1 performance upgrades completed.

Got a few more parts I’m waiting on but I’m very happy with the work in progress. ⚡️⚡️

New build, who dis?

Traded in the last week for a 2021 Softail Low Rider S with 877 miles on it.

The increase in power and torque of the 114ci Milwaukee 8 over the 1275cc Evolution engine is insane—and I now have a 6th gear!

Looking forward to taking this one apart and building it out with some help from my friends at and —stay tuned this one is guaranteed to be sick! 🤘🤘🤘

Junk in the trunk!
My camp kitchen is exactly what I envisioned it to be when I started this build 🍳

Dug this photo out of the archives from a time when the aftermarket for these 5th Gen ’s (or CUV’s in general) was basically nonexistent. I’m glad there are a variety of options available now that allow us to express more individuality in our builds!

The builds in Japan 🇯🇵 are something else! I’ve got some footage of this beast I’ll try to get posted up soon!

大阪訪問中は、おもてなしをありがとうございました。

Although it wasn’t my first choice originally—I have always loved how great looked covered in a little trail dust 🔵🔥

It always feels necessary to post my wheel and tire specs every so often otherwise I end up with a bunch of comments and DM’s asking the same question over and over.

I’ve been running this combo for about 2.5 years now. The wheels are 17x8” (+38mm) Traverse MX in graphite grey wrapped in 245/70R17 Open Country ATIII tires.

This combination is approx. 2” taller than the factory wheel/tire so it will require a lift kit and some minor adjustments to the plastics in the fender well to make it fit.

I am using the Pro-Lift Kit for my lift which adds about 1.5” to the RAV4. If you are interested in the biggest tire you can fit without modifications—you will want to run a 245/65R17 (or it’s size equivalent) for most aftermarket wheels that are currently on the market for CUV’s.

Also seen in this photo are my upgraded dimpled and slotted rotors and green stuff brakes.

And even though I take the time to put this information out there—inevitably there will still be a bunch of people who won’t bother looking and ask the question still 😪 so you make sure you tag any RAV4 drivers who are looking to upgrade their shoes so they can save this post!

Increased the cargo capacity of the sportster with locking hard bags. What do you guys think about saddlebags on a sporty?
