I think it's the Big O store brand: https://www.bigotires.com/tires/brand/big-o/28200030

KD9IOJ - Konstantin based in Chicago. Got my license in May 2017, only using handhelds so far (including a TYT MD-380 DMR UHF). Starting to look at mobiles...

Hmm...the use of non-offroad crossover vehicles such as Yeti (with low-profile tyres) and CRV in the marketing materials makes me very skeptical. The shovel also looks very light-duty. This kit doesn't look like such good value at this price.

4th-gen Toyota 4Runner (5-seater). Three-week trip (ongoing) from Chicago to Snowy Range, WY, Snowbird, UT, and other, yet-to-be-determined areas of UT and CO for scenic backcountry driving and campground/dispersed car camping. Two 4-gal Rotopax gas cans, a pair of TREDs, and a wading gage pole...

That sounds like a great setup. Thanks for validating my build plan!

Hi, I recently installed almost the same suspension setup: FJ springs with 5100s in the rear and Trail Teams in the front plus 10mm topout spacers (slightly smaller lift than 5100s set at 0.85"). I am very happy with it, and it performed noticeably better than stock during my recent trip to Big...

+1 for the Cooper A/T3. They work great for everyday driving and held up nicely on the White Rim and Medano Pass trails.

FYA, in Alaska Offroad Warriors S1E2, position 8:05, Team Rover 1 attempt to use a pair of gray TREDs to cross a washed-out creek. ;)

Was that southern route out of Chaco really rough? And did you do this in your X5 if I may ask? I went on this trip expecting not to have a mobile data connection. Then I learned the hard way not to rely solely on offline navigation apps for backcountry routes. OsmAnd sent us through the...

I had some downtime yesterday and watched the first three episodes. I also found some of the characters and their behaviors hard to relate to, and I share the concerns that this show is giving offroading and overlanding a bad name. I explained to my wife that it represents largely the opposite...

Backroads from Bisti Badlands to Chaco Canyon OK, sure! :D Here is our track from the Bisti Access Parking Area to Chaco Canyon's Gallo Campground, using scenic backroads. https://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/955144607 After turning E from NM 57 onto CR 7980, at 36.0914463,-107.8868042...

TRED 1100 in action (relatively light duty) FWIW, I have a pair of the original TRED 1100 from Summit Racing. They served my needs well during various light-duty applications this past July, such as extending ground clearance (White Rim Rd), driving over barbed wire (shortcut to Chaco Canyon)...

4th-gen Toyota 4Runner (5-seater). Two-day, one-person trip from Chicago to Manistee NF in western Michigan for scenic backcountry driving and dispersed car camping. A rollable foam mattress from IKEA goes behind the storage totes. The empty totes are required for the sleeping platform. For...

4th gen 4Runner - inexpensive, fully removable system based on plastic bins Vehicle: 4th-gen Toyota 4Runner. Design goals: inexpensive, highly flexible, fully removable for urban driving, and easily storable in a small high-rise storage area. Parts list: 6x IRIS/Remington 44-quart heavy-duty...

Welcome, katuah! They just arrived (from the warehouse in Ohio) and look great. I should take a practice trip before summer...

FWIW, Summit Racing has the TRED 1100s for US$105 per pair including domestic shipping in a limited range of colors. I won't need them until July but couldn't resist at this price and ordered a pair of yellow ones. :)
