    ^ Correct. Not a camping trip. Just a hang out, meet and greet with food and drinks.

    I sit to low to crawl that much. I tried to stay under 80" so it doesn't turn real well. Crawling isn't my cup of tea and even less fun in my ride as t wasn't every designed for it.


    Good maintenance run might help. Filters, air cleaner, oil etc. even if the 02 sensors aren't bad if they are high mileage the could use a cleaning.

    My weight balance is pretty good being a SUV so I get decent traction. Plus I have to get out to lock in the hubs. So I rely a lot on the skinny pedal.

    Yeah I've been there. When I go or with 4wds they tend to go places where clearance becomes a problem. I went out to the mud hills at OW and had a blast. Used 4wd more that trip than most.

    Sometimes you just need all the wheels turning. No chance to get a run or just too soft. That's why I have 4wd. But atleast with lock outs it literally just hangs out til I need it. No maintenance unless I use it. Lol.

    I don't get crazy in 2wd but my easy button is get out, lock hubs, shift in move forward, then unlock and un shift. If I leave it locked in it drives like ass. So I won't tear up my truck or tear up the trail but I do give 2wd a valid attempt. If I think I will use 4wd off and on I'll save it locked in and deal with it.

    Haha. Those types can't afford a trophy truc but want thrills. They're better off leaving their rigs in the garage and going with the enterprise rental car with full insurance. Purposely banging your own shit just so people will call you crazy is --- crazy.

    They are fun to watch as long as everyone agrees to take turns pulling them. Lol being the designated tow truck gets old.

    I'm debating on getting them or not. I'm sure they'll hit the 50 sets for 20% but like I told you earlier, my credit card isn't lookin good right now lol

    @uhplifted check out Husky X-Act Contour too, same fit but made from rubber so they're softer.

    I have some 285/75/16s that would make good spares. Not the best on thread but good spares or temp tires.
