I read something today that I just can’t stop thinking about... “Most of us men struggle not with the fact that we’re designed for adventure. On some level, we can accept that. No, we tend to struggle rather with what, exactly, we’re willing to call “adventure.” We like to define, on our own terms, what is adventure and what is not. The word itself conjures images of climbing mountains, or jumping from airplanes, or backpacking deep into the backcountry. And these are adventures, sure. But . . . What about when God calls us to risk a friendship by engaging in a tough conversation (Ephesians 4:15)? What about when God calls us to take a risk with our careers or our finances (Matthew 19:21)? What about when God simply calls us to serve others in a way that makes us uncomfortable (Matthew 25:40)? Are these less worthy of the title, adventure?”

Had a chance to put some miles on the new tires today. The @falkentire #wildpeaktrail all terrains are so much quieter than the @yokohamatire #geolandar that they replaced. However the sidewalks seem a lot softer giving the car a little wiggle at highway speeds. Just have to be mindful that they are not as nimble on tarmac. They handled the sand rocks and hills that I travel often. I’ll reserve judgment until I put 10k miles on them. So far I like them! #overlandbound #ob1699 #desertlife

Well I finally got around to replacing the Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 on the Sportage today. I’ve been waiting on the Falken Wildpeak A/T Trails to be in stock locally for three months. A quick word on the Geolanders, great tire, but a lot of road noise. They lasted 48k hard miles over tarmac, sand, rocks, and snow. I’m excited to try the Wildpeaks since they are designed for the AWD crossovers. 🤞 I’ll be putting some miles on these tomorrow to see how they behave. @falkentire @yokohamatire #wildpeakattrail #geolandarg015 @discount_tire
