Summer in Sedona

My wife and I are headed to Sedona AZ for vacation in July. We are planning on trail riding as much as possible but really aren’t looking for super tough runs but rather nice scenic rides. I am getting ready to order some tires/rims and will be taking off the SB tires for the summer. What is a good tire for the Arizona back country? I was planning on trying to keep it at 30x10x14 all the way around and getting beadlocks. So far I have looked into the Bighorn and the Evos but am very open to suggestions.

Thanks!

p.s. cost is not a factor, this is after all our hobby!

Shifter……mod?

I was thinking the other day about weather or not to cut out that "guide" that makes you put the shifter in nuetral b4 going into reverse or high. I was thinking it would just be so much smoother to just slide from park to low and visa versa. Not a big issue i just feel like my hand is all over the place when i shift haha. Anyone else thought about this or has done it. First inwas thinking it was a safty thing but then thought mabe the trans has to engage in to nuatral position b4 it can go into reverse or foward gear.

Funny night in the shop

So this was the scene in my buddies shop tonight my 08 renegade 800x, and two xmrs 13 650 and 15 800 and couple grizzles and a few pints. we were looking over the 650 and found these drain plugs from behind left fender and the were full of oil and plant seeds see pic, I checked the oil and he was 1/4 inch below min fill, I laughed pretty hard seeing all that come out of his bike. I’m a renegade guy what are those hoses behind from fender, why full of oil and how did vegetation haha get in there? Any input from the xmr folks would be great!!
