Looking to do a day trip to Chocco on Sat, 5/13 to do a shakedown run with the TJ, weather permitting. I plan to hit all of the typical trails we usually do at Chocco in our hard group except Hells revenge (we don't get along). Overall, I don't plan to hit it hard, just a shakedown run.

I want to see a video of you when you go up Waterfall.
Edit: I meant Boat ramp.

A 42" red on a 17 would be my ideal tire. I can imagine with your monster rear axle a 39" would bring the suck but I haven't noticed too many issues w my baby axles. I do think I've been running a couple pounds too much air which may help with the ground clearance. I also don't think my tires look as small as clarks.That's a bunny trail only possible with stickies.

If they made a 42" red for a 17" wheel I'd have those most likely. I'm in a 4door. I can't sacrifice 4" of clearance for a 39" red that only tapes out to 38something.
I've only seen Boatramp (slab) done on Reds and heard about Falken Wildpeaks like 2 years ago. Never seen or heard of anyone else making it up. (I am talking full body rigs, not counting bouncers running 40mph up it on 43" TSL stickies)

First time up boatramp is always the easiest. Circling back around and going up the 2nd or 3rd time isn't as easy. I've seen treps, reds, 43's, falkens, and 44 TSL's all go up it with my patent pending line on it.
I do need to ride with some of y'all again... been busy signing autographs.
I mounted these 20" TR's on 42's. They're beautiful.

I've seen sticky treps go up it a lot of times . Rock Jock and a buddy did it all the time years ago.Why not run a 20" wheel?
You priced out a 20" beadlock? 2-4x the cost of a 17" beadlock.
TrailReady 17" beadlocks are expensive for what they are and the TR 20" beadlocks are actually cheaper than other 20" options. When you move to 20" most options are going to jump you from cast to forged and that bring the cost of a forged wheel. Raceline said their cast 20s kept breaking.RedsI made it up Boatramp first time I tried it, but water was running only on about 3/4 of the slab.

Ok so it just strengthens the argument that I've only seen and heard of Reds being the tire to get up the boatramp slab.

There are two ledges then the slab. Front tires over the first ledge, roll into it good and go until your door is at the stump and you start to slow down or stop, then crawl it.
Gotta roll into the bottom of it. Videos are on my Facebook.

Accuweather says 1/4" of rain on Friday but clear Sat.I'd love to make it, but I can't imagine there's any chance of that happening. I'll probably miss Morris, too, since I'll need to load the vehicles for the trip in two weeks.
Was anyone else in?
If noone else is in, I guess Moab will be a shakedown run for me again with the new tires. I was actually planning to make this but hadn't posted up as I needed a few other things to fall into place, which they just did unfortunately. My mother is coming into town next weekend and not this weekend now so I can't make Morris. Dang.
