    initial trail report: Falken Rocky Mtn AT tires

    On Monday I picked up a new stock wheel as an actively rotating spare, and 5 new Falken Rockey Mtn ATs in 245/75-17. They gave me one full inch of ride height over the stock 245/65 street tires. Naturally, I had to test 'em out on dirt and loose rock in the hills around my small desert town...

    Solid axle vs. independent in off-roading

    Okay, I'm confused: Why is a solid axle preferable to a fully independent suspension when off-roading? To my thinking, with independent suspension you gain ground clearance no matter the method of lift: suspension lift or larger wheels & tires. With a solid axle, as soon as the lowest...
