Echoes of Adventure: Season 3, Episode 8

Heads up, there were some technical difficulties with this episode. Did my best to clean it up, but a few spots were still glitchy. The rest I chopped out so if you hear a few rough edits this has been equal parts apology and warning.

Dan Grec is BACK. Actually, he never left. This week’s episode was recorded just after the last episode and Dan and I continue talking about tires as well as suspension. We drop some nuggets of wisdom like, “better is more important than bigger” and “biggest tire with the least amount of lift.”
