What you saw this weekend was 12-13ish PSI, which I think felt a little too stiff still, I was just too lazy to sync my Stauns down lower at the last second. e.g. 12-13 is what I was running on my previous tires as well, 35" Kelly Safari TSRs. I will say this about the other factor that has remained the same between new and old: I'm still rocking the same Procomp 5182 series wheels- they do a damn good job of keeping their bead. I've had myself twisted up full weight and rubbed deep enough on rock juts where I was sure I was going to lose it, but the worst that's ever happened in 2 years of wheeling the piss out of the TSRs was a slashed sidewall up at Stillwater.
Having said all that, for Hidden Falls I've seen folks hang around in the 15-18 range without issue.
These are great! It still trips me out seeing my Jeep through other people's eyes, I'm used to having to take my own pics which is nearly impossible while wheeling/spotting, so pass along my thanks and if your wife has an Instagram, let me know so I can credit the source
This was my same thought process - e.g. even if later on I decide to go full tilt throwdown/evolever/coilovers I can at least rest knowing that I get to keep all my arms and could easily resell the Plush Rides.
Yes please hit me up for consultation at the very least. As you may or may not know that kit does not come with instructions and there's a lot of little devils in the details that I had to work through. I'm not sure how much detail I went into them, but check out my build thread for a bit of it and maybe I can put together something more explicit for planning. I will tell you that you can do the front and rear in phases - but plan on having your rig out of commission sitting on a rack or stands for a minimum of 3 days per half.
Just to summarize all of the expressed thanks from folks, you're all super welcome and this last bit summarizes my philosophy exactly - wheel whatcha got, no egos
. Folks mentioned my patience but really it's part of what I get out of it as well. I personally wheel to conquer all trails and obstacles laid before me, but when I'm spotting a group or working with new folks, what I get out of it is completely different - watching folks evolve from "there's no way..." to "I just did that!" is a huge rush for me. And then watching folks take what they just learned and apply it later is even better... there was a point in time during the second afternoon run along the fence-line that we got to the optional left-side climb where Nick was spotting the lower half and I was at the top - there must have been 10+ folks that went past me where all I was doing was nodding my head because they had already picked up good instincts on picking good lines - to me that kicks more ass than being "the guy" that gets to point and holler driver/passenger.
Of course, having said all that, there's this.... :clap2:
When I saw this pic my first thought was "woah was I supposed to be spotting on that? where was I?" :cheesy: :cheesy: :cheesy:
This pic captures the other essence of wheeling that not everyone is super keen on, especially considering how much these things cost. Taking risks and trying new lines and testing out theories is another great aspect of this sport.
Sometimes your theories are just plain crazy and everyone tried to warn you:
And other times, they tell you it's crazy and you show them what's up:
(that second clip should look familiar; it's the same hill those Land Rovers were having to winch themselves up)
