Looks like more than 5-10 PSI in the tires. Not a good test.

I usually buy two tires at a time. The rear tires seem to wear the tread faster than the fronts. I use my vehicle off road on questionable routes. I use the lugs on the tread for traction. They usually suffer loss of leading edges (rounded off square edge of lug) noticeably. In Short time, they...

You should check the tire pressure, it's probably flat. The lower it down and inspect the tire. Any tire more than 5-years old should be replaced due to calendar aging.

Yes, carry a full size spare on a spare wheel. Always.

That's a few of them, there are more. Amazing to find and explore.

You missed the doughout miners homes in the dry creek at Valley Wells.

Download speed is not a factor that Gaia can control. It depends on your ISP, the network you use, and the source of the map being downloaded. The maps available from them for download come from many different sources. The maps they have in house, however, do download rather slowly.

I believe the Sears Platinum batteries were indeed the same battery, in sheep's clothing, as the Odyssey pc1500dt. I ran the Platinum's when Sears still sold them because they were about 100$ cheaper than the Odyssey battery with the same specs. In fact Sears warranty was better than the...

I don't understand. I use Gia on an iPad and still see the Gia Map app icon on my home screen. What are you speaking of ? Got it now. I do not remember seeing a map icon on the bottom of the running Gia app on my iPad. I use the Gaia iPhone app so infrequently that I was not aware of this map...

Herbie, If you had owned and used an '80 Jeep CJ7 in the '80's to 90's you could have developed the skills and experience you are using now. Pick-a-Part runs, Shade Tree mechanics, one banana, two banana and three banana projects were common then, before a jeep owner could go to the aftermarket...

I traveled those routes in the '90's with Dennis and the FOMR group. Great memories. Need to do it again in the spring before the temps go up. Thanks for posting the adventure report.

Just received three from the online store last week. They look great, radio fits.

Read the battery manufacturers info on the battery. You will find that LiFePO4 are not starting batteries and should not be paced under the hood (temp too high there).

Check this out: If you read thru it, you will find some very important battery charging info: https://www.odysseybattery.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/US-ODY-TM.pdf

Could be failure to recharge the battery to 100% SOC at least weekly, and possibly using the battery below 50% SOC routinely. Plate Sulfation. DO you ever Equalize charge the battery ?

All you state is true. Sears used to sell a platinum line of Odyssey manufactured or relabeled batteries. Same specs as the Odyssey battery, 8 year replacement and 10 year prorated life as i remember. Used a pair for 8 years in a Ford F250 diesel pickup. About that time sears started closing...

I cannot find the tech manual they used to share on their web site. But big group 31 Odyssey batteries require a higher voltage charge than others about once a week to keep them happy. I did find this info from Odyssey about battery recovery, with similar info...
