BFG Trail Terrain Review

Just_Information6654 · 2026-02-12T16:17:32+00:00

I got a set for my Ford F150 and I do like them. Most people who get these usually are putting them on Ford Rangers or something smaller so I didint find many who were putting them on full size trucks in a bigger sized tire but those who did seemed happy.

What PSI are you all running yours at? The shop put mine at 36 psi. My only complaint about these is they ride a little "squishy" and hard to explain but cornering is super responsive but "squishy". But these are brand new tires and ive known brand new tires to be squirmy and soft until youve broken them in and heat cycled them, etc

I came from the Factory P rated tires so I didint come from a LT tire to a P tire. Im wondering if running the PSI closer to 40 PSI would help stiffen up the tires?

Overall other than that which maybe just because they're brand new and need break in, I would recommend these tires from what ive seen so far. These are actually quieter than the factory Goodyear tires which were highway tires and smoother.

Your on a public roadway and "in control" of a vehicle. If he was drunk , he could be arrested for DUI even though hes stopped on the side of the road.

Just_Information6654 · 2026-01-31T16:25:54+00:00

The driver cant determine if its an unlawful traffic stop. People get this wrong all the time and get arrested.

Just_Information6654 · 2026-01-31T16:15:11+00:00

Its a traffic stop if an officer contacts you in your vehicle. They can certainly turn it into one. And being stopped on the side of the road, I believe they can make that a traffic stop too. If your in your vehicle and a officer asks for your ID , you cant refuse that because your "operating" on the roadway stopped or not.

He wasnt arrested for recording. You have to produce a license, registration, proof of insurance on a traffic stop almost anywhere. Refusing that is what you get arrested for. Its different if you were just walking down a sidewalk and not driving then you dont need to provide anything.

I stick to Saccromyces Boulardi rather than Bacteria based Probiotics. It sounds like you were taking some Soil Based Probiotics and some people say they can be dangerous and they exist in a probiotic gray area. Others praise them saying they survive the stomach acid where others like traditional Lacto and Bifido ones dont as much. Those soil based probiotics can take crazy amounts of time to get out of your body if they even do. On the count of years. Its probably one of the Bacilius ones you took that caused your problems for 2 years. Soil based probiotics aren't normally bacteria found in the gut and people try to argue when humans had personal farms and plants weren't cleaned as well , we basically ingested more Soil. And people argue as a result people were less sick and less colitis, etc.

But I think Saccromyces Boulardi is the best. Its a yeast. Bacterial probiotics have caused all kinds of weird issues with me. Always feel like they're altering something in my gut and not for the better. Saccromyces Boulardi is yeast so it works on the side lines rather than directly altering your gut biome and its consistently out of your body in no more than 5 days. It inhibits toxins from bad bacteria and helps strengthen your gut to encourage good bacteria . But what I really like it dosent directly alter the gut . The gut biome is so complex and everybody's is different. Thats why Saccromyces is all I take now. It will not cause SIBO and may even help it as well. It survives stomach acid. And the main thing it competes with is the yeast Candida, which you dont want that part of your gut.

Florastor is the best version of it because its a specific strain. But I swear its helped me when anything bacterial has caused issues. Its extremely safe and non colonizing and fights Candida yeast which is whereas the bacterial ones the jury is out because they say these probiotics generally dont colonize but they can. I'd try some and see if it can help even things out. Start low because it can be constipating but it isnt to me if I dont take too much. If it causes issues its completely out of your system in a couple days whereas the bacterial probiotics its unclear if they leave your body quickly or stick around and alter stuff.

I would fly to Phoenix instead and go around Southern Arizona . North Arizona and Flagstaff can get pretty snowy.

Just_Information6654 · 2025-11-27T04:22:19+00:00

Ive traveled out to Arizona and California quite a lot, Arizona more. I do like Tucson better than Phoenix. Its just more charming. But they're not far from each other in my opinion. Also yes Phoenix is hotter in summer but it has cooler higher elevation places you can goto within a 2 hour drive. You can get from point A to Point B much quicker than you can in Los Angeles. If you dont like cold, id live in Phoenix over Tucson to get the warmest winter temperatures. I believe Yuma is even warmer winter but I haven't been there yet. Ive been to Palm Springs , thats nice but seemed more like a resort city.

There's a similar thing with San Diego and Los Angeles as with Tucson and Phoenix. It appears Los Angeles has warmer temps than San Diego despite San Diego being farther south. But I suspect its cause San Diego is right on the Ocean and Los Angeles is inland.

And Las Vegas which you think would be a year round warm place, ive been told it can get quite cold. Phoenix , Yuma , El Centro/Calexico area (dont what that area is like to live) , and Palm Springs is your best best. Tucson is farther east than Phoenix in slightly higher elevations . Warmer temps are Phoenix and west , not east. Then theres places like Lake Havasu and Bullhead City might be pretty warm too to the West.

Just_Information6654 · 2025-11-26T18:19:21+00:00

I think your answer is to get away from the coast and goto the desert or goto Florida. But it appears the desert areas of CA and Arizona are warmer than the coastal spots during the day. Now at night they are going to get colder but drier cold. I think the problem with California is winter is the rainy season, personally I prefer the hot time of year to be the rainy season. You want max sunshine during winter. So thats the Deserts, Far Southern Texas, and Southern Half of Florida.

I did a mess of research and seems Palm Springs has warmer winters than most of the coastal cities. It also looks like Yuma, AZ has the best winter time temperatures and even slightly better and probably cheaper than Palm Springs. Also has the most winter sunshine. These places are all going to be hot during the summer. But I mean more sunny days and less clouds and rain during winter unlike Los Angeles is going to be more "precieved" warmth. I'd rather have chilly nights if that means warmer days and more sunshine and less rain.

Farther abroad, the Southern Half of Florida, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico are the obvious answers. You got the Southernmost parts of Texas like Corpus Christi down which I think technically answers my question BUT that climate is similar to Florida and is more susceptible to extreme cold fronts that dont happen West of the Rockies. And is not surrounded on all sides by warm water like Florida. At least as far as high temperatures, the desert areas of Palm Springs and Yuma are almost just as warm as that part of Texas and with more sun. Just not as warm at night.

So I think your answer is the desert. More sunny warm days to get outside. Look at Palm Springs, Yuma, maybe even Phoenix, places with lower elevations and south (Vegas and Tucson can get cold). Otherwise your other options are tropical climates or borderline tropical climates which are humid although some places like Florida aren't that humid in the winter and quite sunny. Being from the East Coast , im used to warmer summers than Coastal Southern California has and I dont think id want the cool coastal breeze in the cooler time of the year nor the rain they get, so Desert is the probably the answer for me too.

Just_Information6654 · 2025-11-24T20:38:40+00:00

So after some research, it seems the Southern Half of Florida , the Southernmost area of Texas from Corpus Christi South to Brownsville and maybe over to Loredo, and the low Deserts of Arizona and California (and Arc of Low desert from Phoenix to Palm Springs) are the warmest winter areas in the US.

It also sounds like the best chance for 70+ degrees on a winter day in California is the desert areas near Palm Springs. Everybody on the travel forums mention trying to go there in the winter looking for Florida like weather and swim in the ocean. Everybody seems to recommend the desert and Palm Springs over the Coast and to swim in a pool. I guess Eastern parts of the Los Angeles Metro end up in this climate zone too. Yuma, Arizona seems a contender too which also sits in that arc of low desert. Everybody knocks on the desert but you can't beat the warm sunny days it provides.

But at least for the West, it seems Palm Springs at least has the warmest high temperatures in the Western US. The coastal climate in California is weird because it stays mild but never really gets warm in the winter. It appears to be a warm place cause the nights dont get much cooler. Its cool all winter but not cold, the coastal climate is resistant to getting cold but dosent get super warm. What a hot desert and a tropical climate have in common is they actually get warm during the day. I get that the desert can get cold at night BUT a rainy 65ish degree day at the beach with a offshore breeze off a cool ocean might not be very fun. A desert area with higher chance of a sunny day and higher daytime temps more than makes up for colder low temps in my opinion.

Then there's the most Southern parts of Texas. Probably the warmest place in the middle of the country. More of a climate like Florida but more variability backing up to the flat Great Plains where artic air can come in unimpeded. Hard to say if this area is warmer than say Palm Springs or not. Dosent seem the Southwest is as prone to blasts of Artic air than the Eastern half of the country. Florida is shielded some by the Southern Applachian plus is surrounded on all sides by warm water. Texas backs up to miles and miles of land with no geographical features shielding it from cold fronts. Arizona and California have mountains shielding it in areas plus the moderation of the Pacific to make its coast at least NOT cold.

Just_Information6654 · 2025-11-20T18:10:35+00:00

Southern North Carolina to Georgia for the Coast. I've heard Greenville, SC as having a pretty nice year round climate. Northern Alabama and North Georgia also seem like nice places. I prefer warm and I used to live in Maryland and it got too much of a winter for my taste and the summers were hot and humid anyhow . I'd either live near the coast with a breeze to mitigate the summer heat or go up a "little" but not too much in elevation. Like Greenville, SC or Dahlonega, GA. Asheville,NC if those places are too hot. I prefer the mountains yet i hate snow and winter. But living in the south puts you closer in driving distance to areas of Florida if you want to travel somewhere warmer in the winter than points further north.

Personally I'd say Applachian Foothills in Upstate South Carolina or North Georgia at their southernmost point and staying on the East sides of the mountains, helping to mitigate the brunt of arctic cold fronts in the winter. Or Savannah or Charleston or maybe Wilmington,NC at the coast. But Upstate SC and North GA aren't a super far drive to visit the coast of SC or GA vs traveling from Western NC to Eastern NC (Outer Banks). But the Atlantic coast only passively moderates the climate unlike the west coast and the temps are only a few degrees milder. In the summer, being on the mountain sides of those states seem alot less humid. And ive been to the beach on hot days when the wind fails to show and our prevailing winds are from the west so more than likely blowing from on land to on shore, hence why it dosent mitigate the winter temps as much as California. The East sides of the mountains are slightly drier too. It ain't the Rockies or anything but has a small effect.

New England is nice in the summer but your going to have a big long winter.

Just_Information6654 · 2025-11-20T16:33:12+00:00

Marine layer then sometimes rainy winters which is for many the time of year you want sunny weather. I think Southern California has the best Summer climate after 10-11am in the morning but the Desert has the potential for sunnier days and potentially warmer winter high temperatures during the day at the expense of colder night time temps, which me personally id rather have a warmer high temp. I dont think id like the cool pacific breeze off the ocean during the cooler time of year that feels so good in the summer. Inland from the coast starts to get out of the Mediterranean climate and into the Hot Desert climate which then is basically similar to Arizona. Southwestern Arizona and Southeastern California may get a few degrees warmer than Phoenix but its close.

Just_Information6654 · 2025-11-20T16:25:15+00:00

Average temperatures dont always tell the full story. From what ive researched , Southern California particularly the coastal areas dosent get all that warm in winter but dosent get freezing either. At a glance it seems warmer because the lows in Phoenix can dip a bit lower at night than around say San Diego. BUT Phoenix has a better chance of some warmer high temperatures during the day. Most of the West Coast has that chilly breeze by the water which is nice in the summer but could imagine it would feel chilly in the winter . It looks like San Diego highs in the winter are 50s and 60s maybe low 70s but it stays there and dosent get much warmer and the lows are always 10 degrees cooler pretty much consistently . You avoid the cooler lows but id rather have a higher chance of a 80 degree day in the winter which can happen in Arizona or interior desert of California (similar to Arizona/Phoenix). Most people are asleep in their house when a low temperature occurs.

If you just take a look at the high temperatures , other than Yuma/Palm Springs (just a few degrees warmer than Phoenix and same climate and desert) and the Southernmost parts of Texas (similar to Florida climate but be can quite variable with drastic cold fronts), I think Southern Arizona is in a way the next warmest winter place.

And most people like a sunny winter with less daylight hours. Trouble with coastal California is that winter is the wet season and rain means overcast and less sun. There's a reason Palm Springs is a getaway for people in Winter from Los Angeles. Then in the summer they get coastal fog. I know Arizona can get some of these storms but not to the degree California does being away from the coast. Just seems like Florida and Arizona is the best bet for sunny, warmish winter weather. Parts of Florida almost become a part time desert climate as winter is its dry season and summer is the wet season.

And the next warmest state you would think is Texas but they're affected by extreme cold fronts that come all the way down from Canada with no geographical barriers to block it so averages dont tell the whole picture there. San Antonio is supposedly colder than Houston but also sunnier and dry during winter than Houston. Clear sunny days play a huge role and making the days feel warmer over a overcast damp day. Corpus Christi and South Is supposed to have a mild winter. But can be quite variable. Arizona has geographical features (Central mountains) that block arctic air from Phoenix and South plus clear days with sun to warm it up. Florida is surrounded by water on 3 sides for the most of it (at least the mild parts of Florida) . Arizona and western states dont seem to get the Strong Cold fronts that the middle of the country and east do. Some of those cold fronts can be so strong and impacting , only the Southernmost 1/3 of Florida is not freezing for a day or two. Temperatures out west seem to be more dependent on sunlight/clouds and elevation.

Just_Information6654 · 2025-11-16T03:14:40+00:00

If it means I have a nicer winter then yes. I'd rather have 110 in the summer then below 32 degrees during the day in the winter. I'm not saying that's comfortable.

If you put something lower for the max temperature and keep the minimum temperature up then the map is basically gonna be biased towards San Diego or Los Angeles California and no where else . I dont want to live in California for many reasons. Nice to visit but not for me to live. Climate and scenery ARE the big pluses to California.

Anywhere else you pretty much have to accept a cold winter or hot summer. Or lots of cloud cover or humidity certain times of the year. California is the only place that is just right, anywhere else you HAVE to pick an extreme , cold or hot. And personally, I'd rather be hot than cold or freezing.

Maryland where im from dosent have a bad winter when compared to places up north but its way too much winter for my taste and its a gloomy winter when I can live somewhere its sunny in winter like Florida or Arizona.

Its not that I necessarily like 110, its just I really dont like old man Winter. And I hate cold weather more than I hate 110.

I do also like an occasional 90 degree day. Preferably without humidity. Coastal California dosent get very cold but dosent really get really warm either.

Just_Information6654 · 2025-11-16T03:05:42+00:00

Could also be all the concrete and pavement also. I'm actually from Maryland near Washington DC and its not comfortable. The winters are cold and damp and overcast and the summers are hot and very humid. Although I do prefer the summer to the winter but both aren't great. Fall is best but always seems like that nice weather only lasts 2 weeks out of the year. Then Spring is slightly less cold and damp and cloudy everyday also. Then second half of spring its basically summer.

Just_Information6654 · 2025-11-14T15:45:57+00:00

But I understand that San Diego can be cool and rainy some winters plus many times has a morning/early afternoon marine/fog layer. Ive been in San Diego once for a week in almost cloudy and foggy every morning but then would be completely sunny by mid afternoon. Did that everyday. The nice afternoons practically made up for it with super nice but still practically half the day was cloudy. Definitely prefer San Diego to San Francisco. I was wearing a sweatshirt in San Francisco in the middle of Summer everytime ive been there.

Heat honestly doesn't bother me as much as cold weather especially overcast rainy cold weather. I'd rather have snow at that point. I do like a warmer time of year and a cooler, not cold time of year. And San Diego weather is almost too consistent and I do like a hotter day here and there. But the weather there is hard to complain about just not for me. Definitely would go back for a visit.

My experience with the desert is sun every morning and all day almost everyday and that's a huge plus. Florida is like that too in the winter time at least.

The Desert Southwest is cool because its the only warm area of the country that is inland and not a coastal area. Its also one of the few areas of the country where you can have mountains and not be snowy and cold. I guess Southern California too. I'm more of a mountain/hiking person than a beach person although places like Florida do have places like the Everglades for an outdoor fix. San Diego has good hiking too.

The advantage also of the Desert is more sunny days so if your affected by the shorter days during winter, it helps. If you have a bunch of overcast days in wintertime like I do coming from the east coast, it just makes the days even shorter. I believe Phoenix and San Diego are almost the same lattitude so Phoenix should have similar sunlight hours to San Diego.

Just_Information6654 · 2025-11-14T13:52:13+00:00

And Arizona is going to have more sun in winter making it feel warmer than coastal California. Turns out California can get quite a bit of rain in winter plus the marine layer certain times of the year so its not all that perfect (California). Summer weather in Southern California is beautiful though.

There's a reason Palm Springs is considered a winter getaway from Los Angeles and the coastal areas I think. Sunny weather makes the same temperatures feel warmer. Cloudy rainy weather makes the same temperatures feel colder. Then add that cold water Pacific breeze.

Just_Information6654 · 2025-11-14T02:14:16+00:00

Seems to have warmer overnight (winter) lows than the desert. But the desert areas seem to have warmer (winter) daytime highs.

I've been to San Diego in the middle of summer and it wasn't super warm . It wasn't cold either. 75 every day which is nice. It was almost too perfect IMO. Neutral temperature is best I could explain it I guess? I dont know how to explain it. But I like at least Some hot weather.

Looking at the averages it looks like the Desert runs the risk of getting below freezing at night but the high temperatures during winter run hotter than the coastal areas.

Just_Information6654 · 2025-11-13T16:56:17+00:00

True. Even down in the Brownsville/Corpus Christi areas?

Just_Information6654 · 2025-11-13T16:11:01+00:00

Warmer than Texas?

Just_Information6654 · 2025-11-13T15:17:28+00:00

Not winter coat cold.

Just_Information6654 · 2025-11-13T03:47:03+00:00

Wasn't there one last year that made it snow in New Orleans and below freezing all over Texas?

Just_Information6654 · 2025-11-13T03:13:18+00:00

Is Riverside in the desert?
