Looking forward to replacing the small Hankooks..?

I haven't even signed the papers on mine and I was thinking the same thing about the Hankook tires. Are yours needing replacement or are you just wanting bigger tires on it? What are you looking at installing? Great photos BTW. What kind of topper is that?

Leer XR topper. Just want to bump up the stance a bit with the taller tire. Like alot of folks here have said, a 265 70 tire seems like a perfect fit for stock/ a mildly stronger stance. Hankooks are fine on the highway...only a few short trips on gravel with them. Not wanting to risk a puncture on longer trips on gravel and off road so I figure I'll give a set of the Nokian Outpost AT a try when the Hankooks are worn or when I encounter my slush fund.

Top photo looks like the Leer XR model - bottom one looks like the Leer BC Parks Hut model.

I really like the scab suicide rear doors for ease of loading gear behind the front seats

Power Grips!

Paul, those take me WAY back. I had a pair of those some time in the mid-nineties. They were great but I ditched them for clipless pedals when they came onto the market. Those Power Grips really worked well for such a simple design. ?

Thanks Duke.
Power Grips have great reviews. I chose them because from my research toe straps are considered the easiest devices to get out of (if you have them adjusted on the looser side) if you get into a bind . For the sake of safety, I don't want to have my shoes locked onto the pedals if I drop the bike. What do you think?

Safety first - they are much better than the bike pedal “rat traps” that would have you locked in tight until you could pull up on the strap to get free - sometimes done while laying on your side, bleeding. ?

The Power Grips are super easy to get into and torque your shoe tight to the pedal. The action to get out of the Power Grips is similar to the twisting motion for getting out of clipless pedals. So, they’re as easy as clipless pedals but cheaper - you don’t need special shoes and can use them with sneakers or hikers.

I prefer clipless pedals, which also don’t lock you onto the pedal - you easily twist to pop out of the pedal and the exit angle is super small - it’s a bit like a miniature ski binding.

Ask me how I know… ?

Let's hear more about your dog fitting the space in the rear seat area. I don't think my dog, an Australian Cattle dog will fit comfortably at 55 lbs.

My 100+ lb Bernese Mountain dog fits in the back of my Supercab, but....I did remove the back seat bottoms, and make a platform that covers the entire back area.
