    I actually have a jeep now. Imagine that.
    actually, there was a rover club at stony wheeling and they were all practically new.

    They were on my GoPro...hehe

    I have the first trail pretty well, my attempt at the hill climb. Missed Keith's first attempt, missed the blue and green jeep, got the beige, red and Paul's jeep. Followed by Keith's second attempt.

    Got the second hill climb with Bill, Me, Dave and Mat. Also have my co-pilot's mud run.

    so in the vid of my hill climb, does it look like I was bouncing around as much as it felt?

    You had a lot of steering wheel shake. Couldn't really see when you got around the corner half way up

    most are very similar, skids that is, both type and price. i have noticed most all are going towards the flat belly style. so pick a brand mainly.

    Once you got to the rock area at the top, you were doing some good hopping around. You almost ranked as high as Jim.

    Is that wife official Marine Corps issue, or is she a sneak-on? Hahaha.

    I am working on trying to get my videos off-loaded from my tablet. Dang thing is picky. Brian, your co-pilot did a great job in that mud hole. You need to get them wheeling with you more. Video turned out good. Now if I can just get the thing off the tablet and onto a drive....

    I actually have a jeep now. Imagine that.
    as far as offroad, they are the best mud tire I've had. My only complaint is i've chunked them up pretty good but I also tried smoking them up to dry up a waterfall i was trying to conquer. They are pretty quiet on road too. I only have about a thousand miles on them so I don't know much about longevity.


    YES! POST VIDEO NOW
