Few more pics of the J-Turn:

haha nice captions! Thats when I was asking you if you knew how to work that crawler!

Next time you'll have to try the gas tank line...I think it can be done on 35s. I just dont recommend backing down it

 

Looks like a great time, one on the list for Christmas.

How do you like the Pitbulls? I always wonder about going wider.

Steve Schaefer is a friend of mine. In the middle of the night, changing tires on my truck in the middle of Lower Terminator, we promised eachother to run Axle Alley together next time I was down. Sadly, I am a slower worker and have only recently gotten the truck back in check. We will be sure to share pictures when the time comes.

 

That was my first time on Elvis, and I really like that trail and all the different options it offers.

This was my second trip out with the Pitbulls and they kick ass.
They hook up on the rocks incredibly well and the sidewalls seem to be plenty strong. Steve made a couple comments about how well they worked as well.

In the rocks, traction wise, they are above and beyond IROKs, MTRs and TSLs from my experience so far. The Rockers have a much softer rubber compound than those tires, but at the same time the tread blocks are big enough and maybe the layout of the tread helps as well, but they do not chunk out nearly as bad as Iroks.

I had brand new 37" MTRs mounted on my 15x10 Allieds and I did not like how narrow they were on the wheel, and how exposed the sidewalls were. I wanted a slightly wider tire (and a bias ply tire), while the Rockers actually came out quite a bit wider. They have the balloon affect which I dont care for, but the performance is there 110%.

Axle Alley looks like a good one, it is on my list. We'll all have to run some of those tougher trails when you come out to AZ. I think that buggy of Steve's should be traily worthy by then.

 

Looks like fun.....The new flatbed looks Brian. Likin how you hooked the exo into it.

 

Thanks. I am pleased with how it turned out. Still needs a floor and some storage compartment but for now it works as is.
