New wheels from Owl, Micky Thompson tires….Leitner cross bars, nothing crazy, loving it.

I love this look - probably exactly what I would build. What made you change out the stock wheels for the Owls? Are they better than the stock steel?

As I responded to another commenter...
"No doubt it is a clean solution, however, it is all good until you can't park near your water source & have to hand carry jugs to and from a water refill location. One of our regular places to refill our water jugs in Baja has no parking nearby & is away from the road & we have to park down the road & carry our jugs to them. We have also refilled in places in the US where we had to carry our jugs to the water source for refill. My preference for separate jugs is based on a lifetime of of travel where we camp in remote locations and have to carry our own water and knowing the place we have used to refill."

I live in the desert SW where there are no streams or lakes for water and we do remote camping so similar to the Simpson. On a desert 10 day trip we will carry 80L of water.

A tie down strap through all the handles of 10L sceptre jugs solves the tie down problem.

Yes, sounds like a pfaff. We normally just stop off and fill it from a gas station tap before we pass the black stump.

Thanks! I like the look of the owl wheels better, they are also wider and have an offset that creates a more aggressive stance.
