Looking for a street-friendly custom cycle? The Triumph Tridays Rumbler ($TBA) should do nicely. Based on the Triumph Scrambler, this one-off ride features Öhlins spring elements and thick Pirelli studded tires to help it stand taller, a Magura-Super-Moto braking system, Roadster handlebars, and a distinctive metallic brown paint job for the gas tank.

Cook up an army-sized serving of chili, gumbo, or even, yes, jambalaya with the King Kooker Jambalaya Pot ($235). This all-in-one package includes a 10 gallon cast iron pot that's perfect for making massive meals, a 17.5-inch bolt-together outdoor cooker boasting 60,000 BTU of cooking power and a shape that's perfectly suited to holding the pot, two steel lifting hooks, and a thermometer for deep frying. Friends to help you eat all the food? Totally optional.
Enjoy all 156 episodes of this classic series in glorious high-def with The Twilight Zone ($230) on Blu-ray. Comprised of 24 discs, each episode has been re-transfered from the original camera negatives to look its black & white best, and is accompanied by remastered audio and a whole host of bonus features including audio commentaries, the Rod Sterling promos for the following week's show, and even the rarely-seen pilot movie "The Time Element."
Whether you're trying to maximize the space in a cramped apartment or just looking to have an extra spot to sit stuff when you're on the road, the Urban Shelf ($15) is ready. This clever, portable side table can hold over four times its weight, offers two cord holders to keep chargers handy, and sports a lip on the edge to keep stuff from rolling off. Yet it folds flat, weighs only one pound, and allows you to add a table to any bed or sofa by simply sliding the bottom under the mattress or cushion. Made in the USA.
Behold the awesome old school goodness of these vintage-printed, buttery-soft Homage T-Shirts.

From Bruce Lee to Larry Bird, the tees tell stories of triumph, individualism and hustle. Pay Homage.
No, this isn't a Rambo-style sling for paperbacks. The Book Bandolier ($26) is instead an adjustable leather strap that offers six loops for holding pens, pencils, and brushes, and is designed to wrap around a stack of drawing/notebooks, allowing you to travel as lightly as possible while keeping the tools you need nearby.
Yeah, we were surprised too — a clothing company making furniture? But when it comes to the Aether Beach Chairs & Table ($500), it actually makes sense. Designed for maximum portability, both the table and chairs are fold down to fit inside of the included travel bag. Features include hardwood Ash construction, stainless steel hardware, a matte black finish, and backing fabric and travel bag made from reclaimed Army tent that was cut, died, and sewn in L.A. A simple, sleek way to upgrade your beach trips this summer.
Why use hands to tell the time when you can use some crazy glowing liquid instead? The HYT H1 Watch ($TBA) does exactly that, using its mechanical movement to operate a pair of bellows that keep the fluid moving, umm, fluidly around the capillary. Other features include a palladium grey dial, a small seconds wheel at 9:30, and small minutes dial at 12, a titanium case, a clear rear casing to allow for viewing of the movement and bellows system, and a leather strap. Oh, and — we're just guessing here — an astronomically high price tag. [Scouted by Ryan]
Building LEGO weapons not really your thing? Perhaps this LEGO Land Rover Defender ($TBA) is more your speed. This amazing creation is a 1:8.5 scale recreation of Rover's legendary truck, built from nearly 2,800 parts, including 7 motors and 3 IR receivers. Yes, you read that correctly: it actually runs, controlled via RF with a LEGO-based controller. Along with the intense AWD system and live axles in the front and rear, it also features a five-speed sequential gearbox with an automatic clutch, a two-speed transfer case, and a whole host of working parts like doors, hood, and tailgate. It's currently up on Cuusoo, and needs over 10,000 supporters to become a reality — and pledging your support is free, so there's no reason not to. [Scouted by JC]
