Shoveling a 60-foot driveway in February is how I learned the value of the best ATV plows the hard way. After one weekend of back pain and an unshoveled path to the woodshed, I bolted a plow onto my Yamaha Kodiak and never looked back. Our team spent the last three winters testing eight snow … Read more
Last spring I watched a buddy’s brand-new $1,200 ATV slide sideways off a pair of bargain-bin ramps. The ramps buckled about two-thirds of the way up and the four-wheeler kissed the pavement on its way down. That’s the moment I started taking ATV loading ramps seriously, and I have spent the last 60 days testing, … Read more
I spent six weeks in my garage testing eight shrinker stretchers on 16, 18, and 20-gauge mild steel. I’ve shrunk wheel arches, stretched fender crowns, and made custom patch panels for a 1968 Mustang fastback. The right shrinker stretcher turns a flat sheet into a compound curve in minutes, and the wrong one tears the … Read more
I’ve spent the last decade riding side-by-sides through desert whoops, Rocky Mountain trails, and Midwest farmland, and I’ve cracked more windshields than I’d like to admit. That hands-on time matters here, because choosing the best UTV windshields isn’t just about picking the shiniest panel off Amazon. It’s about matching the right material, style, and fitment … Read more
Finding the best UTV roofs for comes down to three things: the material you pick, the vehicle you ride, and how you actually use your machine on the trail. I have spent the last several seasons bolting tops onto Polaris Rangers, Can-Am Maverick X3s, Honda Pioneers, and Kawasaki Teryx machines, and the differences between a … Read more
Looking for the best golf cart covers to keep your ride safe from rain, sun, and dust? I spent the last 60 days testing 10 covers across my EZGO TXT and Club Car Precedent, parking them through two thunderstorms and a brutal UV stretch on the Gulf Coast. What I learned surprised me. Most cheap … Read more
Stock golf cart seats get uncomfortable fast. After a single round or a long cruise through the neighborhood, the thin factory foam and slippery vinyl start to wear on you, literally and figuratively. We pulled the seven best golf cart seats available right now, ranging from full flip-seat kits to memory foam replacement cushions and … Read more
I spent the last 60 days installing and riding 12 different golf cart lift kits on three test carts — a 2014 Club Car DS, a 2018 EZGO TXT, and a 2020 Yamaha Drive. I logged more than 400 miles on gravel, grass, mud, and broken pavement to find out which ones actually hold up. … Read more
Loading an ATV onto a pickup truck bed by yourself used to be the kind of task that made me call my brother for help. That changed the day I bought my first set of folding ramps, and after testing 10 different models over the past few months for this guide, I can tell you … Read more
I’ve been welding for 11 years, and the first time I rolled up to a fab shop in a cotton hoodie, my mentor laughed me into buying a real welding jacket by lunch. That decision saved me from a shoulder burn the same week. Welding produces temperatures over 6,500°F, throws molten spatter, and bombards you … Read more
