    Yeh, it's still a very popular spot. I haven't been back since I took my skinny pizza cutter tires off. Getting some work done this week, and I'll probably head out to test everything.

    Can't wait to see what you think of these especially off roading in the snow and also the rocks.

    @Operator8 How tall are the Trep's and the Baja's mounted on the wheels but off the truck?
    I have 37x12.5x17 geolanders now and they measure 36 5/8" @35psi on 17x8.5 wheels.

    Unfortunately no pics on the main obstacles, but, on trail (Saran Wrap in Colorado), the tires were great! On the road, well, not so much .

    Not too many pics from Blanca, as I was in the lead for the group. But by far the most stressful, and dangerous trail I've done.

    Not long after I first got it (picked it up used), I replaced the latch/hook, for the swing. Since then no issues.
