Learned from the forum not to take doors off over hard surfaces dropped mine just like that in grass no damage, now if I could just learn how to put back on without removing paint that would be nice .p.s jealous of your adventure.

Thank you for sharing Ashley! Looks like you made some pretty cool memories along the way!


Also, I liked some of those challenge videos you posted up on Insta as well.

Thank you. We aren’t wild rock crawlers, but we are some super scenic soft roaders. I enjoy the heck out of it!

This has always been my use case for my bronco. Awesome trips and photos!

So far great. I rotate all 5. Every other oil change. I def say spring tho. They will be done. Pretty sure that’s what we call a 211 rubber in that tire. It’s life can be pretty short.

Geez, your tire geek is showing.

Any complaints about the fender flare delete with sasquatch package? I love the delete buy that is a lot of tire poke for me liking.

I have nothing to complain about the deletes themselves. It’s more the Goodyears. I plan to replace them next spring. They kick up rocks bad.
I do get a lot of compliments on the deletes. If you hate dirt then don’t go with them. You’ll be washing your vehicle more then you want. I rarely wash mine. Now that I’m done traveling into the dust out west. I do plan on sending her off to be cleaned. Rain and puddles tho. They will spray! So just FYI.

Squatch , non-Squatch, Goodyears or other, these things are all throwing rocks in ways you'd never dreamed of.

FWIW, my tires are flushed up with the flares and it still will pitch rocks everywhere.
I'm not the only one that has managed to stone my own windshield on a gravel road ... it doesn't stop there .... I have a hood ding from one of my own thrown rocks.

Rock flaps are a definite on my list now and maybe some Squatch flares to give me a bit more coverage.

I'm running Toyo Open Country AT3 's, fyi.
I guess it depends on the gravel, because the first few times I had it out, they were fine, this last road up at the Wisconsin Super Cel though, I had all kinds of gravel sticking in them.

Next go around I may try the Falken all terrains.

Thanks for the write up and pics!!!

Those trips sound like a blast ... it motivates me to get planning!

We just did the Wis Super Cel, wife was hoping for trail rides/offroading, but all the drives were paved except one with 2 miles of gravel.
So now she is looking into Colorado Super Cel in Sept.!!!

So I’m guessing the tread pattern is also perfect for picking up pea sized gravel to the larger nickel sized? I ran Toyo Open County MTs on my wrangler. Never issue with those. So I’m guessing the more AT treads will sling the gravel. That’s something to keep in mind I tire shop.

Y’all are going to get your fill of trails in CO. I went last year. Rode with the Gen1 group who went out on there own. Omgoodness was it fun and the most beautiful.
