Yep this was an awesome weekend.  Big thanks and good job to Scott leading our group around.  Thanks Scott, John and Rob for the help spotting and pulling some cable

Any changes needed to the silver jeep or is it perfect?

Perfect is a big word.  I still have some upgrades to do - front axle and transfer case.  As far as this round it's pretty solid.  May change the front shocks.  They seem to have less up travel than one that is slightly shorter due to longer body.

Oh and I may consider cutting a line in the center lugs of the tires as Scott has recommended previously on these tires to help them wrap around rock better.  Not sure I have the nerve to start cutting on them just yet.  I was running 6 PSI and they weren't flexing much, need to break them in more.  The sidewalls are very stiff.

Good, not to much effort for this round.

Take all the air out or close to it and drive around your neighborhood that way. It will help.

Thanks, will do that this weekend.  Didn't have time for any break in before the ride.

Thanks to the staff for a great weekend. Couldn't have been a nicer weekend for a ride. It was also nice to meet some of my Paulding neighbors and see some really nice rigs. I look forward to seeing everyone again in March at AOP.

They worked well enough on playground I had to ask Kevin if they were Reds. Must have been a wheelbase thing  //;D//

Blues are awesome!  I considered keeping my 35 blues instead of the non-blue 37s...I'll try the 37s and see if I want to go back.

Why not a 37" blue or red?
