Yes, but you are supposed to recieve update notices directly from my site...I don't intend to post to this tread every time I add something to RoadTraveler.

I have many articles planned and in-progress....

Gorilla Auto "The System" wheel locks

I've never had a set of tires and wheels stolen, but plenty of folks have. External and easy to remove, thieves don't need to enter your locked truck to take them. Acquaintances that frequent Baja Mexico, and points further south, can make strong arguments for locking tires and wheels. Though one friend who is an editor of a leading overland travel magazine and routinely ventures south-of-the-border had his tires and wheels stolen while staying in a hotel in Prescott, Arizona. Not Mexico. “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” —Benjamin Franklin.

Tires, wheels, and wheel locks... like peas and carrots.

 

[jim65wagon]

I'd say yummy, but I don't like peas. OTOH I just received an email notifying me of your update to Roadtraveler ! Now I'm finally getting important emails!

Still working on my Mastercraft CXT review, but here are two timely posts...

Overland Expo West registration just opened yesterday.

Overland Expo West is the premiere annual gathering for overland and backcountry travel, an event more important than the SEMA Show for those seeking vehicle-supported adventures. The educational, hands-on, gear shopping, and social opportunities are almost endless, plus it is open to the public, and includes motorcycles.

And unbeknownst to me, Hot Rod magazine's current issue has stories about the Bonneville Salt Flats and Danny Thompson's 400 mph world record; I just thought it was a cool story.

Black Friday

Both a short tease about future content and what Black Friday means to me.

Hint, it has nothing to do with going shopping.

My idea of a good time on Black Friday? Playing with black tires in my shop of course.

No-Spill oil drain system

http://roadtraveler.net/no-spill-systems-oil-drain-plug/

Excerpt

Nearly two decades ago I learned about the No-Spill™ Systems (formerly FEMCO) oil-drain plugs from Geno’s Garage and have been a fan since. I love their quality and how they function. No-Spill’s housing and working parts are made with high-quality brass instead of steel. Some competitors use brass dust caps on steel plugs, and when the metals expand and contract at different rates the caps can fall off. No-Spill uses all brass construction, so the dust cap is more likely to get tighter as the parts heat-up, not looser. The brass construction is also intentionally sacrificial.

You are such a tire nerd. I love it. Excellent article.

How would you rate these tires compared to the Falkien Wildpeak AT's?
