    running to the max might wear down the center of your tires faster then the edges.... fyi
    front tires need more psi than the rear because if different weight dist.

    Running too high of a pressure in your tire is not only going to make the tread wear more unevenly but it can be hazardous as well since your tires won't be able to flex over and around objects. that's one reason why you air down on trails, you want the tires to have a little give when going over sharp rocks. if the tire can't conform to the contour of the rock you're more likely to tear up the tire or puncture the tire.

    Nice! I did the same thing. You might want to throw a coat of wax over those wheels. Just what I did. No problems so far.

    Went to Superstition and had another issue with my electric fans, they always work perfect when not off-roading.. not sure why.

    Yes its the one from LCE website, and I have had it near overheat twice while off roading only, I had to take the relay box apart and fiddle with it and it runs great now.

    Was scary as hell in 90+ degree weather in the middle of the desert....

    Switching back to a stock fan design when I get my blades delivered.

    So this kit will be for sale. Mind you it works amazing in all other situations.

    Really? This coming from a guy in Florida (with a prerunner). Let me know when you want to come out west and play in the rocks. I'll show you how to "scratch the paint" on your junk.:rolleyes:
