With some trepidation, due to a larger then advised rig, we attempted to cross Steel Pass. Starting from Eureka Dunes, camping at Saline Valley Warm Springs, via Hunter Pass to Race Track in Death Valley.
The new tires did great in all offload conditions providing traction on slick rocks and dug well into the sand and gravel. I did manage to clip the front passenger tire on a rock that no tire is designed to withstand. Sadly, we only had about 500 miles on the new set of tires.
Underground Explorers Overland just happen to be in the area. It was a great reunion and awesome trail crew to help me change the tire.
Lesson learned? Truck / Camper is not too big for Steel Pass, though overhanging trees are it's nemesis.
More photos should the post gain some interest.
