Barstow to Vegas dual-sport trip sometime in the next few months.

Looking for a few people interested,

I’ll be on a CRF300L Rally and I’m looking for riders with dual sports/ADVs who are comfortable with a longer dirt-focused ride. Not trying to race, more of a solid adventure ride with planned fuel stops, breaks, and a route figured out beforehand. I am comfortable with camping overnight on trail.

Thinking:

  • Barstow area start
  • Mostly dirt/off-road toward Vegas
  • Possibly 1–2 days depending on the route/group
  • Everyone carries basic tools, tubes/repair kit, water, fuel range, etc.
  • Beginner/intermediate friendly as long as you’re comfortable riding dirt for a full day

Still flexible on dates and route. Mainly trying to see who would actually be interested so we can get a group chat going and plan it out. When we get to Vegas planning on staying in hotel and eating out and drinks.

Comment or DM me if you’d be down.

E load Toyo open country at3

Anyone have experience with these tires in 265/70r17 for 2023 SR5 4x4? I live in the southwest where sharp tricks are extremely prevalent and hit the trails just about every weekend. This past weekend I got a flat tire on my standard load all terrain tires. Luckily it was on a relatively populated trail but I want to go to more remote areas. That’s why I’m considering at the very least getting c load tire for thicker sidewall. However the e load Toyo at3 are 1 less pound than the c load so that’s why I’m probably going to get the e load for even more piece of mind. I’m not worried about worse ride in city and worse mpg. Just wanted to hear some opinions on these specific tires. Thanks.
