April 2026

September 2024

BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO3
Shipping · Sep 10, 2024
Tires & Wheels
“The category benchmark. Quieter than the KO2 on highway, comparable bite off-road, longer life expected. The default daily-driver-overland AT.”

June 2024

Falken Wildpeak A/T4W
Shipping · Jun 4, 2024
Tires & Wheels
“The value-for-tread-life pick. Slightly louder than a KO3, similar dirt traction, longer wear in our test fleet. If you're cost-conscious, this is the call.”

April 2022

Maxtrax Maxtrax MKII
Shipping · Apr 15, 2022
Recovery
“The category-defining recovery board. Pricey and bulky. Worth every penny when you bury yourself in sand 40 miles from pavement.”

March 2022

Garmin inReach Mini 2
Shipping · Mar 8, 2022
Communication
“Smaller, faster, longer battery than the original Mini. The two-way satellite messaging is the closest thing to magic in this hobby. Subscription cost is the main downside.”

August 2020

Dometic CFX3 35
Shipping · Aug 1, 2020
Refrigeration
“The reference 35L fridge for solo or two-person trips. Quiet compressor, app works, ice cube tray included. Dual-zone version (CFX3 45) bumps capacity but adds 12 lbs.”

January 2018

Toyo Tires Open Country M/T
Shipping · Jan 1, 2018
Tires & Wheels
“Mud-terrain go-to for Jeep and Toyota platforms. Loud at highway speed, planted in rocks. Buy if your daily-driver tolerance is high.”
