    Alignment got so out of whack, it chewed through my front tires, but I was on pace to get about 50-55K out of them with normal rotations.

    Fronts were goners, but the rears were only past halfway down at just shy of 30K

    Thanks! Mine are 285/75/16. Pretty stoked on them. Have 80k on them and they’re still not done. Wore evenly and not loud either. Probably getting the same ones again when I get back to WA this spring

    You go off road like 50x more than me so at least you get some use out of those 10 plys.
    I've been hearing good things about the Wildpeaks, thanks for the tip.

    For what you use your truck for, I'd spring for the SL load Wild Peak AT3Ws and be happy as a clam. I'd happily shave 40 pounds of rotating mass if I thought I could get away with it.

    That's exactly what I'm leaning toward, was just looking into the SL to make sure it's not too lightweight. Of course I'm mostly driving in the city and hauling like 25lbs worth of saxophone.

    The tried and true Duratrac come in C load and weigh almost the same as the SL AT3. Looks like it's down to those 2.
    Unless I get some 17s, then it opens up options like 33" 255s...

    It was a blur, but such a good trip.

    Bummed I didn't get to meet up with you, but I could only pack so much into 6 days.

    I spent enough time in there on the clock, I don't need to go visit again on my own time. I did get to get a glimpse of the entire National Mall at night flying out. One of the greatest views in this country to me. :oldglory:

    So my garage door decided it didn't wanna be wholly structural anymore. Middle is 6 inches lower than the edges now. Yay!

    Yeah, I was backing in about an hour ago and as my tent went past the threshold, I watched the door move, so I get out and look and yeah, its no bueno.

    Downside is I cant get my truck in and out anymore.

    Already got a call in to a repair place and should have it worked out this week. :fingerscrossed:

    I feel the frustration. It just seems like garage doors should always be functional.

    EDIT: I recommend a glass of whiskey to take the edge off.
