The truck is looking good. I am running the Oldman Emu mediums front and rear. With the Canopy on it rides great, also great without. I load the truck down regularly, and love the ride.
The annual desert migration is approaching fast. Making a few last minute changes to the set up. We decided to try a single large roof top tent. With that decision made we went with a Burmis Outdoors Highwood Guides Haus roof top tent.

I have a friend who is planning to ride the Baja Divide in January. Right now we are looking at tire options. He will be using 27.5+ tires. Curious what peoples thoughts are on the Maxxis Chronicle vs Minion for desert riding. We do not have that terrain locally so my knowledge is limited. He...
