    To heavy for serious off roading? Your joking, right? Have you looked at any of the Moab picture posts?
    Did you air down your tires or were you running street pressure? You will be surprise at the HUGE difference running 10-20psi makes in traction (especially in sand)!
    Nice pics by the way!

    Billy ya took the words right outta my mouth......dawg you need to come to Moab and see us in action! And specifically check out Travis' pics (tjh)...he came in full stock mode with bald tires...covered everything!
    Made most of us wonder why we pay good money for A/T and more aggressive tires.......



    Here's Travis....deep sand at base of rock....


    there goes Travis right up....



    Here's Kat....




    Here's Kat again.........with Travis quietly watching me....




    and again...........with Travis still watching...now wondering if he's going to have to strap me..... (he didn't)



    and FINALLY ...SUCCESS!.....well, have to admit it was only after we added some big rocks to that sand pit on the right side of truck...notice the big boulders are missing......
    VX KAT
    ....the adventure BEGINS ANEW! ...2015......
    Remember that life is not measured in the breaths you take, but rather in the moments that take your breath away.
