    Starting out in DFW, Texas.

    Next month is in Ft. Worth (CB Adventure, off I-35 south of Cabelas), maybe that will be more convenient.

    Big Bend Ranch State Park - Chorro Vista Campsite

    It is not like any other Texas state park, and it is certainly not "well kept", and does not even compare to BBNP. It is basically a wilderness area, with no paved roads, no cell, electric, water, showers, toilets, etc., available anywhere except ranger station. Roads are not maintained and...

    Headed to Big Bend NP.

    You can stay in a lodge in Chisos Mtns, but they book fast, so lead time is important. Basing outside park, you are going to be wasting a lot of time driving in/out.

    Are 265 Tires hurting my overlanding experience?

    You missed that he never asked about "the suspension and drivetrain", which was a significant part of your answer. If you configure the suspension and drivetrain to match, you will experience a significant increase in off-road capability going from 265s to 285s. No worries though.

    Are 265 Tires hurting my overlanding experience?

    Big Bend Ranch State Park - Chorro Vista Campsite

    Dry with good traction on rocks. Good bit of vegetation along trail, so pinstriping is possible, none broke paint, but since car is dusty by time you get there, seeing all the marks in the dust is an OMG moment. Two decent hill climbs. Hiking trails were all in good condition and well marked.

    Our biggest nightmare just happened

    Definitely not a good idea. After you voluntarily give up your wallet, what do you do when he wants your car keys? Your daughter? Only thing I am voluntarily giving up are Hollow Points.
