Sweet. Tango

Question, how low can I air my tires down before I slip a bead? I'm running 15x8" steel wheels with 12.5x35" Mickey Thompson's. Ran them down to around 10psi on the road and a little trail behind the house with no issues.... opinions?

I had been down to 8 on my old set up which was very similar to yours. Eddie said that with such a wide tire and a narrow rim it acts as a beadlock. You will be fine at 10

Thats what I hear as well. Particularly when running 7.5 or 8s the wider tire that - provided the tire fits - it will act as a poor man's beadlock when aired low.

Hey everyone, unfortunately I definitely won't be able to make it on Saturday. I will be around Sunday wheeling with some local friends so if anyone will still be there I'd love to say hi!

I can totally appreciate that. Andrew and I went this past weekend and there were a few things we did that puckered up the butthole a bit. lol

If it's anything like this morning it's going to suck driving up at 6:30 Saturday morning being 45 degrees without the top and doors.... 😳
 
So I broke BOTH my cheap ass off road switches pulling the dash panel while installing the CB. Ordered replacements from amazon. Should be here tomorrow, I hope. FML.

What switches did you break? Where did you end up installing your CB?
 
The rocker switches for my windshield and push bar lights.... cheapo ebay switches but they fit in the stock locations on the lower dash.

Installed the CB to the bottom edge of the dash under the glove box. My wife is short so it is not in her way down there....

I'll post a picture in a bit.
