    Honestly, traction was never really an issue. Mostly just didn't want to submerge my differential without having relocated my breather. I'm pretty surprised as I have Kumho at51's, and the tread doesn't really seem all that aggressive.

    Water won't get in unless you're under water a real long time.. I've never had water in mine.... I have the relocation parts, just need to put them in. you can get the parts on Amazon..
    But I'm not going past the frame unless it's just one of the big puddles. Better safe than sorry up there. One big swamp, plus the rain...
    The road could be washed out in spots.. As long as the doors are above water you're OK......

    Now I'm bringing my Fake Max Tracs along...........................

    No. I only do one Brewers event per year. It’s my 15th year of setting it up. we usually have between 40-100 people going. Lots of running around to pick up cash. A ton of work on my end and the Brewers make it difficult each year! This is a event I do every year for people at my work, friends, and family. I thought this year I’d invite the Wisconsin Tacoma crew. I’m collecting money for the game April 6 at miller park. Group tickets go on sale December 1, 2018. I need the money the week of thanksgiving to place the order.
    Any questions pm me @BookieBob

    I don't think they were super swampers. Definitely larger tires tires though, that's for sure.

    Wrigley North! 30,000 cubs fans per game. I bring 9 Brewers fans with me . 6 family members and 3 neighbors. We try to help the Brewers compete in the big leagues by bringing those Cubbies Dollars north.

    After the cubs got eliminated our family was pulling for the Brewers. I would of loved to have seen the Red Sox in Milwaukee for the series. I usually attend 10-15 games at Miller park and 6-10 at wrigley. Miller park is so much easier to obtain tickets. It should be a fun game. Anyone that wants to hit wrigley for the Brewers game I’d be down with that also.

    Again it’s a good time of beer,bags, grilling and beer.

    Well isn’t that charitable of you! Us lowly Brewer fans appreciate the hospitality, I guess... That date falls during the college baseball season, zero chance I’ll have a weekend off, but thanks for putting it out there.

    Typically the spring season goes until the end of April or first weekend in May, but it all depends on how successful they are and whether or not they make the NCAA tourney...

    With all the rain it was't that bad, and we went through some less traveled areas...
    I think we hit 1 hole where we had water close to hood level and dug in a little, just enough to say oh shit and we were out...
    After that I got the waders out...
    I bought $49 waders from Sherper's, what a good idea. Now I can just walk through the puddle to see how bad it is...
    It also made it too easy because it removes all the anxiety...


    looks bad

    Not bad at all



    2 washes later and ready for another trip.......
