    BTW I'll be wandering around the Rockies for about 7 days. I'll be carring handheld CB Monitoring Channel 6. I know not much range in the mountains. Just a pre-caution...along with built-in GPS Windshield mount GPS and handheld Garmin. Also Colorado trails maps.....wife afraid I might get...

    Colorado Road Closures

    Thanks! I spoke with Lake County Road and bridge yesterday. I was told there was a summer snow that closed it but should be open now. Asked that I stop by and verify before going. Plan to overnight on Hagermans to do some Astro photography. I was on the pass this time of year in 2014 and it was...

    What is your Overlanding Pet Peeve?

    As a drone operator I agree 100%. If in a National Park or most state park they are breaking FAA regulations and should be reported to the state park or national Park service. Get a tag number from their vehicle and turn them in. It's operators like that that make it difficult for commercial...

    2018 Chevy Colorado Z71

    An SL 255/70/18 weighs 42.8 lbs 32.1" An E LT 275/65/18 weighs 60.1 lbs 32.1" That's 4ply SL vs 10ply E rating big difference in weight. I have a 2018 Wrangler Unlimited Sahara I don't NEED 10ply tires. Neither does my wife's 17 Z71 Colorado. My 2004 Silverado Z71 has 10plys though. Yes...

    255/70/18 Falken Wildpeak ATW3 weigh 1lb more than the same Duratrac Kevlar....so I don't see the weight savings on my Jeep. I'm thinking you are comparing the higher load rating Wildpeak compared to the Duratrac Kevlar. All things equal tires weigh almost the same.

    That's about what the wife got out of her OE tires. These Falkens have about 25k on them and they still look new. And they are quiet.

    Try Falken Wildpeak ATW3. Put them on my wife's 17 Colorado Z71. Wear like Iron and unbelievable in the mud. Pulled a F150 4x4 out of the mud, an Explorer 4wd and an AWD Mazda minivan...out of the same mud. Actually drove around them all through the same mud to get a good angle. Colorado...
