I am in North Alabama and I am interested in doing a bit more off road adventures particularly with my kid. I have seen some routes around the southeast like in Daniel Boone National Forest, Georgia Traverse, Talladega National Forest, Outer banks.

I was just wondering will something like a Subaru, Volvo XC70, etc be ok for these routes with some decent all terrain tires and maybe a skidplate? Most of these places will take a decent amount of driving via road to get to so I would like something with reasonable road manners. I'd also like something reasonably modern so it has decent safety standards since I will be hauling the kid. Car will also be used a bit around town for various things but not as a daily.

I am interested in getting one of these via the Beta program in the US. How have peoples experiences been with this phone in the US particularly on AT&T? The SD slot is a big selling point to me and it seems like the only other new options are the Motorola Moto G phones I currently have an old LG V60 but it is getting increasing buggy.

I am starting to keep my eye out for a good deal on an LR2. However I am noticing a lot of them seem to have cracked dashes. I am assuming this is a common problem.

Can you get a replacement and is it a nightmare to replace? Does anyone make a nice looking cover as an alternative? Is the cracking a result of UV exposure?

Doing a bit of budget build as a first build with a decent amount of 3D printing. Trying to decide on which chassis to print. Leaning towards a Yepspec but not sure if there is any others I should consider.
