    Sidewalk cracking in my rear tire and it can’t hold pressure. They have 19.6k miles so probably have to buy a pair. Not sure it’s worth getting all 4 new ones. Curious what others would do in this situation? I have the Falken Wikdpeaks that came when purchased for reference.

    Spent a night and part of a day in Organ Pipe and Cabeza Prieta. No heavy off-roading as I decided to hike in place of driving all day, though I did a little bit. Ajo Mountain Loop - a fun road due to it's winding and dips. It's a 1/10, as parts are even paved. Since a large section is one...
  18. 10k Miles in Review

    Just passed 10,000 miles in our 2023 BSBL and overall quite happy with it for now. Things we like: Fuel efficiency - regularly getting 25+ in eco mode, some times 30 depending on elevation change. For what the vehicle is, this is great Autostart/stop - for those long Phoenix red lights...
