    As far as LDUB in the sand...if I remember correctly DUB aired his tires down very little if any. I know Merlin aired his down conciderably. That makes a HUGE differance in sand and on the rocks. The two biggest things to improve traction off road are tire compound and how low you air your tires down. Most guys who do serious crawling run 4-8 PSI in their tires (with beadlocks). And the comp guys are not running the same tires you and I buy at the tire shop. They are running non-dot super soft rubber compounds (stickies).

    Oh yea! We are not jacking the thread....just adding entertainment in between bumper updates!

    That's a good way to look at it! I like that.
    As little as I understand this bumper, I am curious to see the end result... I have to say tho, I hope you have a long way to go... because at this point, it just isn't fitting of a VX... just my opinion. But like you say, to each his own. I do, however, hope it turns out how you like it and how you want it to perform... keep it up.

    He didn't at all. I remember asking him and he said he didn't believe in it what ever that means
