Tremor Maverick Off Roading @ Randsburg, Mojave, and Ridgecrest

[Rivers90]

I took to the trails checking out some old mines near Randsburg. The truck did really well. Saw some cool old mines and got to help some people who had gotten lost trying to find one of the old mines. There is no cell service in much of this area so having maps that don't need a cell signal is important.

I lowered the tires down to 25 psi and that helped on the very bumpy trails.

To get the photo of the truck from inside of the mine I had to drive up a very steep hill and down an even steeper one. I really wish I had seen the angle of the off road screen I am sure it was a record for me in the Tremor.

Again I had the truck on 3 wheels at one point but it was not for long.

Also I scraped the plastic in the front, right in front of the skid plate. The approach angle is so close to being enough.

I did not do the more difficult trails in this area but I saw some cool places.

Some years ago the sharp rocks in the same area gave me a flat tire with all terrain Yokohama tires but the wildpeaks were fine.

This looks awesome! Are you looking to do more off-roading?

That photo of your Tremor framed by the mine is ad worthy! Nice shot .

Absolutely.
Hope I can get another one in before the area gets too hot with summer weather.

Does the Tremor come with a full size spare?

 

[MavFromTheDead]

It's listed as a full size spare but I don't think it's a matching Wildpeak. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I'll probably have to test if a full size 245/65R17 can fit up there or not. I don't have a Tremor though, so even that could be different. The Tremor wildpeaks are basically "trails" and are 235's I think too. I had to bang, cut and force a full size spare (285/70R17) under my Taco, but I'd like to do the same for the Mav.

No it does not. It is not a mini spare but it does not match the other tires.
There is space between the tire and the hitch so a bigger tire would fit, I plan on getting a matching spare, I just need to get a rim that fits the Maverick.

Are you looking to replace all rims or just get the bigger spare

*Wheels... not rims. Sorry, that is one synecdoche I find gaudy. I'll be the grammar nazi here

For the price I don't think I'd bother matching those wheels. OEM wheels are already pricey and availability of a Tremor trim wheel will be way too much to just have hidden up there. Whatever steelie is included, if it's a 17" wheel, I'd just throw a full size spare tire on it.

Yeah I would prefer a non matching full size spare over spending the extra cash to match

No joke. I started looking for wheels before I had my Lariat Lux with the glossy black ones and it's pretty shocking how much OEM wheels go for. Like $360+ each for the dark grey XLT wheels NZ6Z1007F. I suspect anyone selling singles of the Tremor wheels will be asking a premium price.

If you go to remote places often maybe look into starlink mobile so you can get internet everywhere you go and be able to make a call for help in case you get into a jam. Looked like a fun trip!

Nope. It's closed. No such thing. Starlink is a myth.

Don't throttle my rural internet, bro.

Just the spare.
The price to get matching is too high for something I hope not to use and may never be seen under the truck.
I have found a used wildpeak that matches the ones on the truck.
I think a Bronco sport, or Ford Escape wheel may fit and may be easier to find on the used market for a low price.
Before my Maverick was deviled I had seen a new steel one on amazon for $67 but it is sold out now.
The spare it comes with is a 215.
Here is a photo of the space between the tire and the hitch.

So the tire should fit, but I guess it would have to, as when you get a flat the flat tire would go here once you pull the spare out.
I am sure I will find something that will work.
