    It looks like your bumper is right up against the fenders, how does that go over when flexing?

    I've only done some moderate to a little knarly wheelin and it hasn't been bad. I check it often cause i was worried about that to but the only thing is maybe a dime size scuff when I'm really flexin. But that's what this is for.

    It's on the west shore of lake Tahoe in homewood. In between south shore and Tahoe city. It's a blast love it up here. I'm on the quite side to hardly and traffic. Besides assholes who drive by the lake a 5 mph. Damn tourists

    Hahahahahah good eye. I actually had an 8x8 in wood pole fall on my hood. It crushed the headlight assembly my hood and my then over the winter a clump of snow fell out of a tree and landed in the middle of my hood. Pounded it out the best I could. I have yet to fix it. Need a new hood, passenger headlight. It has nothing to connect to so it just wobbles around.

    Just a bunch of old crap

    Yes sir, KM2's. I love them, but they do ride rough and you have to get them rotated quite often and keep them balanced. Otherwise, I abuse the hell out of them and they continue to pull me and others out of mud, sand, rock climbs, etc. Most useful off-road tire I have ever used, but rough on the mileage.
