Hey Scott,guard wrote:That's awesome Tom, thanks for the detailed account of the trip! It allows us that can't go the ability to live vicariously through you:) I really want to go to one of these when the stars align!
Hehehe... B, that's a GREAT idea... I love it... minty green helmets! So cool... I've been looking at a few different options for open face helmets...yikes wrote:Tom - I think I would rather take a ride with you than one in a TT. Glad you had a solid prerun. More important...glad you smoked the buggies. Haha! You know? I was thinking the other day...you need a metal flake minty green open face helmet that says "eat my dust" in the that cool 70's style 3d font. Haha!

Wasn't one of the ones I sold you, was it?!BajaF250 wrote: Logged about 400 off road miles. > Minty did great... no issues... except blew a tire on the way down south of Puertocitos on the highway. Didn't just get a puncture, but the tire blew all the air out in just seconds and ended up chewing up the sidewalls... bummer, fairly new tire. I chewed up the rest on the trail!

I the same thing happen with one of my 35x12.5-15 last trip. I'm not impressed with there durability after the last trip. Have you had better luck with them prior to this trip.
Let me know.
You know Scott, I didn't keep track... sorry...cypher wrote:Any idea how much $ you spent on fuel?

6700lb she a bigggg girl haha Goof to get an opinon from someone that has put many miles on KMs. I already worked out a deal for some generals but we'll see how they work out.BajaF250 wrote:Hey Brian,
Nope, that tire is still running strong... I had it as the spare for that side and it ended up running all of the off road miles for the prerun... did great!
I've been running BFG MTs for many, many years... with tons of off road miles. This is really the very first blowout I've had... So, I can't complain, my BFGs have given me very loyal and exceptionally reliable service over the years. Every single time I detour and use another brand of tire, I ALWAYS regret it and end up going right back to BFGs. So, one little road hazard isn't going to sway me in my opinion of these tires. I'm very pleased with them. Plus, you've gotta admit, a 6,700 lb truck zipping through the desert isn't exactly easy on tires... !!!
One might say "hefty." But, it seems to gets me around, hehe...cs_drums wrote:6700lb she a bigggg girl haha Goof to get an opinon from someone that has put many miles on KMs. I already worked out a deal for some generals but we'll see how they work out.BajaF250 wrote:Hey Brian,

Yeah with a yellow bubble face shield. Total vintage. I'll have to look around Dad's house for my old easy rider theme open face helmet.yikes wrote:Tom - You know?
