Rendezvous in the Ozarks

Rendezvous in the Ozarks

The Ozark National Forest is known for many things, especially incredible views and great off-roading trails. Connecting to the St. Francis National Forest, this forest system consists of around 1.2 million acres of state land, which is why Arkansas is known as the Natural State. Because of its diverse outdoor and off-road opportunities, it is an important destination for the mid-South. RC HQ is less than four hours away, so we're looking forward to exploring this area more in the future. To learn more about this region, visit https://www.fs.usda.gov/osfnf/.

Wheel Backspacing and Offset Explained

Backspacing and offset are two terms critical to understanding how a wheel fits and will affect the handing of your ride. For Jeep and truck owners, the wrong backspacing and/or offset can equate to tire rub, poor handling, and in some cases, series damage to the vehicle. To help ensure you get the right setup for your ride, Rough Country provides tire and wheel recommendations for each of its suspension lift systems.

Taking the Bronco to the Beach

Taking the Bronco to the Beach

What can make being at the beach in the panhandle of Florida soaking up the sun, sand, waves, and trails better? A Bronco up-fitted by Rough Country. My wife (Heather), and my daughter (Lucy), took Rough Country's 2021 Velocity Blue Ford Bronco down to Santa Rosa Beach and 30A for a few days to do just that. This Ford Bronco is the test rig we use at Rough Country's HQ in Tennessee to develop and research new products for the Bronco line. With its unique style and impressive performance, this rig took our experiences and travels to a new level.
