Took the 45 for paint in Missouri and hit the trails with the latest bad ass @Ozark cruiser 200 creation

Camped on the river last night and I peeled out early so I could swing by Tupelo MS to pick up my next shop project.

Gotta juice those bags a little bit more for that 60…..

Can't believe you didn't holler so I could see Chad's 60 up close.

I’m a s*** when it comes to thinking about such things. I’ll bring it back soon and we will grab lunch
 
Another big trip towing. In the last year I’ve towed so much I need to replace the tires on the trailer I purchased a year ago.

The Whale don’t care. 10 mpg. Tow away.

I had about 45,000 miles on my Ridge Grapplers and decided to get some new rubber

Same size 285/70r-18 but this time in Recon Grappler.

I like those, but I think I’m gonna give the RT Trails a shot here in a few months. I’m at 45K miles on my KO2’s and while they easily have another 15K or more in them I’m ready for a fresh set and would like to go up a size once the lift goes on.
 
Wow, you put some miles on quick! Curious to hear how you like the recons, I was looking toward getting the RGs but it does look like Recons might be better in snow (not a concern for you, I know).

2 days in and they are super quiet.

I had these Recons 295/70r18 p-rated and they were dead quiet, very comfortable and smooth until I get around 65mph and then they made a loud drone. However, once I hit 73mph+ they were quiet again. Unfortunately, I do many short highway drives and 65-67mph is typical. Ended up returning them. I wondered if it was because they were the non-E load version.
 
I have mixed feelings about my old set of RGs. They cupped, got louder and louder and were super slippery below a certain temp. But they looked great and were a pretty decent sand/dirt/mud tire.
 
Huge fan of Ridge Grapplers as well but I've had three sets on various different vehicles now and I am ready for something fresh/different. They did get progressively louder at their half-life. If I want to get the same old thing I'd pick up another set of the old reliables, BFG KO2's.

I’m a sucker for new tire treads.

BFG about to release a KO3 from what I can tell from Baja 1000 stuff
