    What do you think are really good tires for most off road ventures

    I had a set of the Copper STT's on my Fj during one of the worst winters we have had. I woke up to fresh powder many mornings and just smiled. Tires were outstanding on unplowed roads ans stuck like glue on the hard pack.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Being one that has short fuse when it comes to busting knuckles i get the losing friends joke:) That’s coming from someone that makes a living wrenching. As much I dread playing mechanic on the weekends I end up doing it. I try to do most of my projects with my oldest daughter so she doesn’t...

    Snake Shot: Do you use it for your trail/camp gun when overlanding?

    I’ve alway been pretty underwhelmed with the performance so I don’t use it.

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    I’ve yet to meet anyone that would want to be shot with a .22:) Next time I pass through that shady part of the county I’ll snap some pictures. The real breaking bad Winnebago (looked just like it) got burned a few months ago. Two of them within about 15 minutes. (Cause undetermined). I saw a...

    Around here meth is made in the sticks hours from the City. It is is normal to find vans & motor homes parked in the middle of nowhere used and then abandoned or burned. An epidemic to the point LE can’t keep up with the shell game of back county mobile meth labs.

    I’m sure it had some influence on my own dark and unfiltered sense of humor.

    Using rigs during bad weather or natural disasters

    Hands down I’ll take 2 feet of snow in a day over 2 inches of ice. One is pretty to look at fun to drive in while the other rips everything to the ground and makes it impossible to even get into your vehicle. On a brighter note this was 2 years ago and the winter my wife decided to sell her...

    Using rigs during bad weather or natural disasters

    Wow, that is a great story. I can’t image. These days 3 inches of snow grinds things to a halt. I’m also laughing that that model A in reverse becomes a front wheel drive with pizza cutters once turned it around. No surprise it cut through the snow.

    What do you think are really good tires for most off road ventures

    I agree 100%. OB is loaded with a variety of people with different levels of experience. That’s why I joined also, great opportunity to learn. As for myself I’d never claim to be an expert in anything, but being old enough to carry an AARP card I’ve been around the block a couple of times and...

    Using rigs during bad weather or natural disasters

    For us it’s usually Snow, Ice, flooding , or Fire. I’m oncall for a City and unless the State Patrol stops me from driving the 19.9 miles I’m required to be there in an emergency. This makes for some sketchy late night drives. This past winter I was going over Cape Horn at 3am and the drifts...

    The younger guys at work laugh at me when I tell them they need to replace those “Bologna skins” they got on their new trucks.

    That was discussed regularly but it never happened. To this day my parents front yard is fenced better than most military installations in an attempt to keep that dog in vs. people out.

    I wasn’t really expecting much from a tire supplied on a new vehicle and planned on upgrading before winter. I am however surprised at how fast it’s wearing.

    Legal Weapons and Overlanding

    He loved to play and to us kids was a teddy bear. BUT when it came to other animals a complete dick. One night chewed his way through chicken wire into their run, and got into the hen house. Then the little chicken door must have closed behind him. No escape. By morning he had killed 25 hens...

    Looks like I have a different model. Not the trail runner but the adventure AT with Kevlar” :):):) This is the tire that came on the Tacoma. https://www.discounttiredirect.com/buy-tires/goodyear-wrangler-all-terrain-adventure-with-kevlar It says on their site 11/32” so I gained an 1/32” in wear.
