Just had the LC out on the trail last weekend with a Jackery 1000plus. Ran it down to 50% with Starlink and camp electronics overnight, and plugged it back in to the inverter once we hit the trail in the AM. LC had it back at 100% in a short period of time. So also imagine it’s high output while...
Correct, stock size with E Load (10ply) Toyo Open Country AT3s. They have a C Load (6ply) but I opted for the E Load for the thicker sidewalls on the slightly heavier tire. They did great running 18-20lbs aired down for the trail.

I took the tent off (via two cross-rails and four torx bolts) after the trail and I’ll keep the two remaining cross rails on top for ski racks etc...
