Yup, Maxtrax is positioning itself as the "original" and as the PREMIER brand in the segment now. Part of that is maintaining the high price even though the market is now flooded with competition.
The thing about Maxtrax though, is it becomes blatantly obvious that they aren't that special...
I have the Maxsa boards and I've had them side by side with the Maxtrax. I do not believe in the "magical military grade nylon" marketing nonsense. Anyone who knows actual military specs, like when something says Mil Spec knows that it's been labeled that to make the general public think it's...
Long Canyon is passable in a stock Jeep Cherokee.
Up Long Canyon, down Shafer and out Potash is a nice drive.
Long Canyon is on 279 which leads into Potash Road basically.
10 Gallons or two 5 gallon Jerry Cans will keep your mind at ease. Keep the 6 for when you want to bug out and go a really long distance without stopping.
Might as well buy a full size if you're already paying TRD prices. Hell I've got front and rear lockers and electronic disconnectable sway bar and I only paid about 7k more than a brand new TRD Offroad, and have twice the payload and tow capacity.
The problem I found with the off brands, like AUXBEAM is that the claimed lumens are false. I recently replaced a cheap Amazon light with a comparable Rigid, that should be the same lumens, and the Rigid is twice as bright. It was fine while I was ignorant of the fact that I wasn't getting what...
I forgot to mention, they offer a lot of map layers, so you can load USGS top maps, NFS maps, NatGeo National Parks maps, and dozens of various map styles. All which have been helpful in my own explorations. As I've found some map layers have more details missing from other layers. Here in...
I've been using Gaia GPS with my iPad Mini mounted in a Ram Mount for all my navigation needs off road. What I particularly like about this app is the web interface. https://www.gaiagps.com/ - You can view all your tracks, routes and pins online, you can plan routes and trips and then sync them...
Bashing RTT's is the new thing to do. We reached peak RTT popularity. Now it's hip to be anti-RTT.
I've been in a ground tent for awhile, and sleeping on the ground got old once I turned 30 and had kids. I have no desires to carry cots and inflatable mats. I'm not sure how that is all easier...
While I only just installed the RTT, I actually plan to run it only certain times of the year. I don't want it exposed to snow and freezing temps, so off it comes for winter. Goes back on for first camping trip of the season.
I do carry my tools with me on trips and then return them back to the...
