Hi Jfet - nice mod - are you installing some black plastic fenders and welding in a couple "blow out" bars over the drive wheels? The fenders self clean in snow and mud conditions if you mount them a bit floppy. A bit of lengthwise framework above the tires would protect your camper floor from an errant tire tread flapping around ... which of course would never happen once you used a good bike riding weekend to fabricate and protect your equipment...
Hey, thanks, I like that idea about the "blow out" bars over the drive wheels. I think I will do that next time the pods are off.
I hope to not have a blowout. We are not going to carry a spare tire because of weight and storage issues, so I am going to keep these new Toyo M608Z in the best shape possible. If we are so remote that we get a blowout and cannot get service, the plan is to unload the pods, swap a tire around (all six are the same) and drive to get a replacement. I am going to be vigilant about air pressure and inspection of tread/stuck rocks.
