Wheeling In The Country

Yeah brian that deal was on treaddepot, but goodyears had a big rebate at the time ( I want to say 160 if you bought 4 tires)

 

I've seen good year frequently throw out buy 3 get one free deals. Matter of fact they had one going about 2 weeks ago. Also, sears usually matches online deals so if a place doesn't have them in Stock, call sears.

 

Kyle, the 7033s won't come in the right backspacing in 18's.

 

So is anyone else going to want to wuss out and stick to the easier trails? I'd rather not have to call AAA for my daily driver.

 

well just let judd test the waters on the harder trails first. Everyone knows he'll be down.

 

Just spreading the love Paul! Are you 2wd? Checked out the site you suggested and they don't have tires listed.

Jim, if I go, I'll be on the easier trails especially at the beginning.

 

Good deal. Made an appointment for the first lifetime alignment at Firestone, hope they don't totally suck donkey balls... my alignment shat itself a bit after the crapfest that was Saturday.

 

i'd say it did after all the jumping you did in your truck last weekend lol.

 

and every weekend for the poll yall have up. i have to work. i have off every other weekend. friday saturday and sunday

 

Jumping? No jumping, just some bouncing

 

c'mon lets not fib. i was in the truck with ya and it def felt like jumping.

i may have to miss the wheeling in the country event. gotta try to save the money to get the sliders and pay tuition that way next time i go out my truck wont just sit on the pavement.

 

Ok, ok, it was harsh bouncing. But I didn't get all 4 wheels off the ground or something.

 

One of the reasons it took me so long to get back to you all was because I had to stop and watch your drive. I can't say all 4 tires came off the ground at the same time, but I can tell you that you used all the down travel you had available. If I had know what was coming, I would have recorded it!

 

This is in my hometown so I'll probably be ready to hit some of the trails up there. I'll be in my '86 though. I took my Tacoma up there a few years ago and it's no joke, unless you have a locker and don't give a damn most of the trails are not friendly. I followed a bunch of locked Rubicon's around that night and made almost everywhere they went. What i couldn't climb straight up i would just back up to stay with the group. Get on the website and check out the trail/ hill called twister 2 and 3....the ole '86 had a hell of a time but i made it.

 

You're making me want to sit this one out, the trails are that rough?

 

Let's just say you need to know where you are going. There are a few trails up there that once you get into them you have no choice but to climb some huge ass bluff to get out or back out all the way. For the really hard stuff there are by-passes. All the trails pretty much lead back to the main road too which is where you see the large mudpit posted on here. I stay out of the deep mud when i go but the trails are pretty fun.

 

well there's some words of encouragement for all of us.
kinda glad ive decided to sit it out.

 

now I didn't mean to talk anyone out of this ride because there are plenty of trails up there that you can stay in 2wd. Like i said i followed locked Rubicon's in my Sport with factory tires so it's doable for sure. The only damage i got when i was with the jeeps was that damn stupid trailer harness connector got bent up, few ledges on the trails i was on.

 

yeah but what about if all you have is 2wd? how would i fair???

 

you can still get around to watch the large hill climbs and make it through most of the trails.
By looking at your lift & tire combo you should be fine.
