I have posted before and agree that the LTX M/S is a perfect highway tires but is not even close to being a perfect off-road tire.

I run both Michelin LTX and BFG MT tires depending on whether I am going to be on the street or off-road. I have the LTX tires on most of the time but mount the MT tires typically twice a year. I have left the LTX tires on when going off-road if I know the road conditions are not going to be...

I think they are great street tires. I can't say they are great off road.

And leaders get to stay out of the dust. :)

And support my local Underground Market.(y)

My Cat is back ordered to October. There must be a big demand for them now.

I only had 4 weeks for this trip, but ended up leaving 4 days earlier than planned do to the catalytic converter hanger breaking out and leaving a big hole in the pipe between the two main cats. I did a temporary fix to cover the hole but decided running without the hanger could cause more...

Here are a couple pictures of one of my early ARB rebranded Engels refrigerators. This is the one in good condition because it is used in my house only.

I can take a picture of my best one. I will try to post it tomorrow.

I guess you could call it two tone. It is mostly a metallic light blue with some black trim. Yes, it is a rebadged Engel. I have seen one very much like it that had the Engel name somewhere on it, but had ARB nameplate on it. Mine has no reference to Engel but I know is one. I actually...

I have an old ARB that I bought in the early 90s. It is still running like new but has a few dings on the metal exterior and looks far from new.

This shot is of some great Native American rock art which we viewed after running Kokopellis. Ace showed some of the Petroglyphs there. This is some of the Pictographs that reminded me of the rock art in Horseshoe Canyon near The Maze. This is a picture of some information on the...

Okay, it is my turn to show some pictures. Ace has already described our adventure and don't have much to add to that. I always like to show wild flowers and will start with that. Ace said the wild flowers were not as showy this year, but I think they were still pretty good. This shot is of...

I have to watch out for that. My computer likes to convert 'It' to 'I'. I also have too many thumbs on my hands.

Tom, the leak occurred in the Schrader valve. It had small leak in the valve itself but after tightening there was still a slow leak somewhere else. Once we started down the road the leak got worse. It turned out the brass body of the Schrader valve was cracked and it broke off in George's...

I have raced in SCCA for over 30 years. It is pretty well known in the racing community that wider tires reduce top end speed on the straights while increasing cornering speeds in general. The common belief for reduction in top end speed with wider tires is not aero but it is due to the tires...

I switch back and forth between 31" and 33" tires a couple times a year because the 31s are my street tires and the 33s are my off-road tires. They are both 10.5" wide and I get better gas mileage with the 33" tires than with the 31" tires. The reason is; the gearing is set up for the 33"...

Ace, Was that trail up to Cerro Gordo the same one we tried to take years earlier? If so, I hope it was in better condition.

I agree with Tom 100%. The drawback is needing a space to store the extra set of wheels/tires when they are not being used and the time and effort it takes to change them. It works for me for now but I think when my LTXs wear out this time I may be looking for some AT tires again even if it is...

Thanks Dan. Ace, don't worry about my head swelling. My contribution to the trip was minimal. I think going to The Maze and the people on the trip is what made it so good. We also had some luck on our side. Believe me, I had no visions that allowed me to pick the right people. Things just...
