Light off-roading in/around Chicago

To all Chicagoans out there, where do you take your Grom for a little light off-road? I know that we don't have any approved OHV trail within 2-hour drive from the city so I was thinking any piece of land that's not properly attended for a very light off-roading should do. Any abandoned (or half-abandoned) construction project or land owned by the state and otherwise not in use or land with private owner who simply doesn't care too much...

North Glass Panel Thermal Problem

For all folks out there that are enjoying the beautiful looks of their north glass panel design. These side panels pose a critical issue for modern graphics cards. In the pictures, I'm running an RTX 5080 (Gigabyte SFF compatible) and as most cards these days, a good amount of airflow comes directly from the front of the GPU where the glass panel sits. This seriously raises the internal temperature of the case to a point where if you have any SSDs sitting under the GPU they get to a critical temp (having heatsink on top of those SSDs is crucial).

Now this card is actually an SFF compatible with depth of only 126 mm. For most cards out there that are deeper than this, this is a serious problem.

I truly wish North sold mesh side panels separately for those who have a similar problem after upgrading their GPUs.

North mesh side panel?

Can I get a white mesh side panel for my north? I love this case but since swapping GPUs I'm running too hot and have to operate with side panel off for most of the day which defeats the purpose of having a case.
