Jeep tires are the 285/75/16's, which is about a 33x11.50 or so.
Trailer tires are 32x11.50 BFG's on 15" rims. Someday I may get all the rims and tires the same...

So when all your expedition rigs are loaded and you hit the road, how fast do you guys go when traveling on interstates with speed limits at 70 to 80 MPG like here in Utah and what kind of gas mileage are you getting with all that weight?

My 2013 JKUR with 3:73 gears and 5 speed auto would get around 16-18 at 65, but if I dropped to 60 MPH, it could go as high as 20, if I ran 70-75, it would drop to 13-14, headed into a wind, like Mark it would drop to 11-13 at 60-65mph

My 2008 used to get about 15.5-16 highway IF I stayed around 68mph with no wind...3.8 with 5.13 gears/35s/auto/Superchips/and a whole bunch of other stuff...
Wind or pulling the trailer...down to 12-13 easily...

Hey, everyone, I put this video together about Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante a couple days ago. I've done a number of trips into this amazing area and do honestly think it's the best overlanding in the lower 48 states. Anyway, the video isn't the main show. It's actually in the caption, where I've placed links to articles and papers that discuss this area in particular, and public lands in general. I've tried to keep the perspective balanced, though my own feelings are probably pretty obvious. Indeed, one of the longer articles is from someone who is against the Bears Ears National Monument designation (though he's not against protecting the area). While there may be the occasional person who watches the video that thinks the federal government should give all of the land to the state for the state to do as they wish (some of the land has already been sold off to a private buyer), I think most of you will agree that some protection is desirable. What form that takes is debatable, but I'd love for you to watch the video, and then contact your congressman and let him know your opinion.

"...untouched by the destruction of man." My problem is that many on the left think that a human being even walking across that land would be destructive, let alone OHV access, even if limited to trails and roads. I'd like to see reasonable people find the middle ground where we can protect land, yet access and enjoy it. I believe we can also protect land while extracting gas and oil, with little to no damage. New technology enables that, but I'd want to see strong oversight.
Just my 2 cents.
