We got the chance to catch up with Robert from Mickey Thompson Tire and Wheel at the PRI Trade Show, and their off-road booth was awesome. Among all the displays at the event, Mickey Thompson stood out with a setup dedicated entirely to off-road enthusiasts. It is really cool to see such a big company show so much interest into our world of extreme four wheelin'.
Mickey Thompson brought out their whole line of tires. Whether you’re into trail riding, rock crawling, or high-speed off-road racing, they have a tire to match your needs. Robert gave us a closer look at how these tires are designed to perform, and what each tire is built to do. He also answered some of Tyler's specific questions about the Baja PRO X Sticky tire typically used in rock bouncing.
One of the highlights of the interview was learning about the advanced technology behind Mickey Thompson’s tires. From their tread patterns to sidewall strength, every detail is engineered to tackle the beating we put our tires through. Robert explained how this innovation comes from decades of trial and error and a commitment to creating tires that win.
It’s clear that Mickey Thompson doesn’t just make tires—they build them for people who push the limits of off roading. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a competitive racer, their products are built to keep you moving forward. Robert’s enthusiasm for the brand and its mission really shines through in this interview, making it a great discussion for anyone passionate about four wheel drive.

![7075 Aluminum Suspension Links: How to Choose Diameter & Thread Size - Wide Open Design
One of the most common questions we get at Wide Open Design is: “What size links do I actually need for my rig?” And honestly, it’s a fair question.
In this technical breakdown, the Wide Open Design team addresses one of the most common questions in 4-link fabrication: How do I measure for my link bars before I even have them? [01:52]. We demonstrate how to properly align your chassis tabs using a simple visual string reference to ensure your heim joints stay in a perfectly straight line [04:07]. Once your tabs are set, we reveal the Golden Measurement for ordering: the distance from the inside of one jam nut to the inside of the other [05:54]. By measuring the overall length of the raw material needed rather than center-to-center, you eliminate the guesswork regardless of which rod ends or tube adapters you choose [06:08]. Master this simple process to ensure your suspension cycles perfectly from the very first trail ride.
