    Going thru Pensecola area on vacation to Cagun country. Spending two nights in a camp ground next to the beach about 25 miles east of Pensecola. My truck drives great but no lift yer I do have 265x75x16 revos on FJ Cruiser TRD rims. Has a camper shell also but that does not have any effect. Drives smooter and more car like compared to my GMC 3500 Duramax.

    25 miles east... sounds like Navarre Beach or close to Destin? Eglin AFB I hear has some great camp sites and some damn good trails, I see them all the time flying over it, just don't want to get caught out there when the AC-130's are shooting, pretty cool watching it at night.

    And don't get caught out there without a pass...It's like a 300 bones fine if the range cops find you without the 10 buck pass.

    It is nice area...good for some light wheeling too!!

    I travel to Pensacola several times a year on business, own a taxi company down there. Also Ft. Walton and Destin, very familiar with the area.

    I think we are next to Destin. Expensive camp sites $115 per night must be beautiful around there.

    Big resort vacation area. Nice beaches...Lots of ladies (or doods-I'm not judging) to stare at... good food...Pretty decent night life.

    I actually emailed them about the same thing. When I heard back they told me 44psi is what they recommends:eek: I couldn't believe it. I think I am running something like 38 psi right now in all four.

    The chalk trick really works...get a large chunk of chalk, draw a thick line straight across the tread on the front of each tire, front and back. Then drive slowly in a straight line across a parking lot. Stop and take a look at the chalk line. I found that 36psi in my Revos made for an evenly worn chalk line with only a tiny bit still visible on the very outer edges.

    Nothing yet, brand new!
    It's windy out here all the time. Dialing in more positive caster will improve straight line tracking. I've done this and messed with different tire pressures.
