Exploring unknown trails in Connecticut with my Chevy Colorado ZR2 | @generaltire @TheKuatRacks
Today I venture into Naugatuck State Forest in search of scenic trails and a quiet place to stop for lunch. Although the drive wasn't very difficult, it did allow me to slow down and escape the chaos of everyday life.

    I'm in the process of building my own hitch swing arm. I run a WJ and I need extra storage but also want rear gate access. This is where it makes a good bit of sense. I can intall a cargo platform on the swing arm and move it out of the way instead of unhooking it completely from the hitch. I keep my stock spare in the stock location, its a PITA to get it out because all the gear in the back comes out too, but I'm not racing anyone and don't need quick access to my spare.

    I drive like an old man, but I didn’t swap out my duratracs until 6 years, 62,000 miles on my Silverado and they still had a little life yet. It took me until the last quarter of their life to figure it out, but at 45-50 psi it keeps the edges from cupping as bad. I’m at 8k on the fresh set, recently rotated, and I don’t see any sign of cupping yet.

      @@varsityoverland This makes sense, they are pretty much at the end of their treadwear rating. When I bought mine they had an 80,000km (50,000 mile) treadwear life rating. I run them as winter tires for the first year I have them, then transition to a separate dedicated winter tire after and just run them for summer.

    Kind of interesting that two of the five checkpoints for must haves for the 270 have to do with coverage in the back yet you're going with a 180. Curious to see how you mount that.. I have the Alu-Cab and made my own gutter with velcro attachment. Realistically I only need that when it's raining. We had our first one on our small off-road camper and liked it so much that we got one for our truck topper we're building out.
