Today I pulled the trigger on a Yakima Skyrise 3 from REI 😀
W 20%off and free shipping to a store it was a pretty good deal.
1158 w tax.
I will have it next week, and my girlfriend and I have 3 trips planned 👏👏👏
North shore in may, Custer SD in June, and Colorado in July!
I can't wait to try it out!
I also scored a nice aluminum Ram mount for my tablet/gps from Gander Mt for $35
I have the aluminum mount on the motorcycle for my Garmin 2720 ( which is fairly heavy) and it is much more stable than the plastic ones

Got my new RTT!
I spent a few hours getting it installed.
I'm not planning on using it until may 19, but I wanted to make sure it was sorted out first,
Not to mention that I was excited to check it out!
Quality of the tent seems very good,I need to do the setup/takedown a few times to get proficient though.

Keep us posted on your impressions of the Yakima tent. I've been eyeing this one as well. Thanks
First impression of the new tires is .......
They are fantastic!
I'm so glad I wasn't tempted to save $100 and get some so so tires!
Doesn't feel like a loss of power, we will see how much of a hit I take on mpg.
I do notice a bit less body lean on corners, I suspect the other tires weren't up to the weight of the winch bumper.
I went with BFG lt 265/75/16 AT KO 2

Got my Allpro sliders installed
I have to say it wasn't fun
They are heavy and you have to drill 10 holes into the frame, 2 of which require an angle drill, and they are 3/8 holes so you have to start small and step up
It took about 5 hours and I still need to drill the last 2holes as I don't have an angle drill
The thought was that I can unbolt them to repaint but it was so much work that I don't think I would do that, I'd probably just mask off and paint in place
That being said, they're very well made and I'm happy with them.
