Troy learn to drive that thing or I'll have to repo the damn thing

Yeah, yeah, yeah..........

I've had it out a total of 3 times now and I've been taking all the hard lines I can find so I can get a feel for it. Fawk that thing will lean downhill on an off-camber! Dutch can back me up on that...... at the top of the long hill it got way body-tippy but all 4 tires were still planted...... THAT is what's gonna take some getting used to..... Felt like I was gonna fall out.... :looney:

I also gotta get used to the width of the tires/axles...... I keep smacking against things on the pass. side with the front tire and it jerks the wheel outta my hand..... LOL!

BTW...... I definitely dislike MTR's. I want Pro Comps!

I was late after having to meet with Jeff (planefixer) to drop of Raffle Jeep parts and getting a little turned around before finding the Home Depot. And then there was DutchVDub getting caught behind that HUGE parade of Fire/Rescue vehicles in town for the Emergency Vehicle Expo in the 'Springs...... the group didn't leave the H.D. until after 10am.

Wasnt an Emergency Vehicle expo... even though there were very cool fire trucks. Was to honor ALL of the men and women who died fighting fires and such this past year.

Oops, sorry - that's right, Frank said it was a big event to add names to the Firefighter's memorial out there.

Well as much as it pissed me off being stuck behind them, I'm glad it was for a good cause.

Troy, you need to get some BFG Krawler T/A KX's. Those things are pure beauty.

I've got pro-Crap tires on my heep. Weakest sidewall ever. Already punctured 2 of the damn things. Bought 'em second-hand so no warranty. Going back to Cooper STT's when biz improves.

and Yella, your MTRs gripped fine once you got the air pressure down, amazing what a difference a few pounds makes...

oh and any opinions on a good muffler?...trails wanted to try and keep mine

Flowmaster Delta 40

FrontRange Mufflers on Cascade and Platte or Bud's Muffler on Circle

flowmaster super44 they have a offroad one that looks pretty strong...

I would suggest a Dynomax Superturbo they flow alot better than any of the Flowmasters, they are a lot quieter on the trails ( ask YellaHeep how fun it is with a loud rig) and they are really good price. I got mine, the whole cat-back system for $100.

From reading all your posts I missed some fun adventures

[DutchVDub]

Seriously, where are the vids that one kid was making? I want to see that shite, and more pics.

I love my Pro Comp Xterrains. I had a set of Pro Comp Mud Terrains and they do have crap side walls. I will never buy there Mud Terrains again. Maybe there new Xtreme Mud Terrains.

AH HA the truth comes out. LEARN TO DRIVE!!! it gets alot easier once you flop it a few times

 

[rockhounds4x4]

It was good to meet all of you. We had a good day of wheeling. Sorry I missed that big obstacle off to the right. Ken had pulled into the entry to it and parked. I didn't know it was an obstacle. I drove right by it.

 

[snwy_mnt_jeep]
