    Best (Or Most Dependable) All-Terrain Tire?

    Another vote for ST Maxx, I have run KO2 and while they are good tires I like my ST Maxx better on my 4 door wrangler. The only place the KO2 has any advantage is on ice and it is only a slight advantage, everywhere else the Cooper is better and even tho it is more aggressive it is quiet.

    When did this 'shop won't touch a tire over 4yrs old' stuff start?

    Tire company standard is 10 years and even a tire store can sell a 5 year old tire. Time for a mass mailing to your congress people. this is pure fleecing and most likely illegal.

    Any longtime riders quit for good?

    I started riding in 1971 and lived and breathed motorcycles and at one point I added up 500,000 miles on them (it ultimately was much more but I got tired of counting). I put 40,000 miles on a bmw R1100S bike in 1.5 years and for a long time averaged about 20,000 miles a year on bikes. mostly...

    inexpensive 12v tire inflator

    I have had an Viair 400P for 6 years and I wheel a lot so I air up and down all the time. I can fill 8 35" tires from 10 psi to 35psi and never shut down. In fact I think I have filled 12 before and it has never shut down. I use this thing on the trail and at home it works very well.

    RTIC 65 vs Fridge

    I guess one way to look at is look at a 50 qt cooler and then realize that with a fridge you get that entire volume for food and drink instead of half food and drink and half ice.

    RTIC 65 vs Fridge

    ice takes up a lot of space. I just replaced my Yeti 50 with an ARB 50 and ultimately there is so much more space in the ARB due to not having to have all the ice.

    Post favorite pics of your rig and trailer

    Yes and a 5lb propane tank. It cooks everything makes, perfect eggs, bacon and hashbrowns, pancakes, steaks, burgers, veggies you name it and clean up is the easiest ever.

    BFG T/A KO2 vs Cooper STT PRO?

    I have had KO2 in 34x10.5-17 and ST Maxx in 295/70-17 and 285/75-17 (2 sets) all on Jeep wranglers and for me the only way I would do the KO2 over the ST Maxx is if I spent all my time on icy roads. That is the only place I have found the KO2 to have any advantage over the ST Maxx's and then it...

    Offroad Capable Mainstream Trailer???

    totally different circumstance.. I live close to both NGP and YS so go to both often. Most people who have pop up campers ultimately do some cooking in them and store food in them at one time or another. Hopefully you have not cooked inside your backpacking tent. Food odors stay inside and a...

    Offroad Capable Mainstream Trailer???

    Yellowstone and Glacier park for two. Reasoning is Yogi bear will try and eat you...soft sided campers are like easy open sandwich packages for bears......easy to open and delicious on the inside. Even places that allow them dont necessarily mean I would want to stay in one in many places.

    Offroad Capable Mainstream Trailer???

    i have looked hard at the E1 and 176 ESP etc but I already have a RTT trailer altho the actual tent trailers would be nice to have the actual room when it is pouring rain etc. I have been more leaning towards an Aliner just because some areas won't allow soft sided campers.

    Offroad Capable Mainstream Trailer???

    If this was meant for me yes, when we were stopped for the night and sleeping it was pretty stationary it would not get rocking too much as we put the floor jacks down....:) yes mostly parked in one place but forest service roads or at least the ones in Montana, Idaho etc would not have been an...

    255/85R16 ST/Maxx dilemma

    I agree. first started doing business with them in the 70's and swore by them had friends who managed their stores etc but now I go else where. they refused to mount a Toyo tire I bought mail order for $150 cheaper than they would sell it for. Took it to Firestone and they mounted it for $16...

    JK production comes to a close

    I am sure the JL is nice too but my neighbor has a new rubicon and just not loving the looks in person. I get to see it every day so maybe it will grow on me who knows. I do know I would not trade him mine for his (he is the gm of the dealership so he would love to trade no doubt :)) even tho...

    Offroad Capable Mainstream Trailer???

    I had a 2016 Jayco 195RB baja edition that we lived in full time for 6 months while we were building our house and other than being tall and potentially getting beat up by trees it would handle most forest service type roads as long as they were not too rough. they make one in a 145 baja and...
