    Just to add some context. Saturday I recorded 189 dirt miles in just the truck between Superstition (where i was camping) and Ocotillo. Including driving between the two spots...all dirt. I took this picture on one of the peaks near Ocotillo. In the distance you can see the red square I placed. That's Superstition Mountain.

    That area's huge, isn't it. Did you make it out to any trails in Anza Borrego outside of Ocotillo? Anza's one of my favorite spots to wheel, just gotta find the trails that aren't just washes.

    Yeah. Honestly I couldn't tell you all the places we went. I had a good tour guide. I know we ended up in some dunes near Inspiration point east of Borrego Springs when the sun went down. Was a bit of trek to get home in the dark.

    Nice, I bet that was a pretty sunset! I love that area. Definitely check it out in the spring if you ever get the chance. The greenery and wildflowers are amazing

    My point was either more mass or acceleration will put down the same amount of force.

    true. Being fat is also a major factor for it.

    I need to do something to mine...

    ok, im just kinda thinkin the shackles kinda act like leverage on the bottom of the frame/shackle hangers to bend it... i have frame plates welded on the bend but nothing to help the rear spring mount. i was thinkin of just a simple rectangle piece of 3/8 welded to the inside of frame right where the spring hanger is... i'm sure itd help some

    That's what I plan to do with mine. Plate it and just box areas that could use it like where my shock towers are and hangers and such.

    I stitched welded mine for the same reason and went back and filled in the stitches a few hours later.

    What is your review on the Hankooks? Are they wearing well and are you happy with them in different conditions?
