Dang, already got plans for that weekend myself.   >:(  I've been on the Toys for tots ride at RR before.  It's usually a medium sized turn out.  Not too crowed, and TONS of fun of course.

Steven I would usually ride anytime anyone wants to come down, but I've got finals on Monday and REALLY need to study. haha.

Great time today. I love the new tires!!! I went out there without my pucks so I was sitting on my bumpstops for the 33/1050s so needless to say, these 35/1250s rubbed a little  ;D

I left the front swaybar connected and tried to stay away from the really flexy stuff. That made for some interested hill climbs though  :o     ;D   We've got some pics of that too.

Mark came down and Kyle brought his Wrangler too. It was a good ride! Lots of awesome, well built rigs to watch too. We stood at the Rat Hole for an hour  :D

Sounds like it was a blast! Did you run into Logan? He was in a white XJ, I told him to look for you guys there. It's the same guy that was riding with me that time I met ya'll

I wont be going tomorrow either because we took my wifes car to get tires put on it and it wont be ready until tomorrow morning. Who knew the tires places would be so busy right here at christmas time!

I can't believe I'm a GrandPa and I can stay up till 1:30 or 0130 for you No Show, drinking Rum and Coke, still get up load the Jeep and make it on time. You guys are going to be in bad shape when you get my age. Anyway had a great time, like Will said there were a lot of well built rigs and they wern't skeered. Had a blast as usual.

So Will, did you wait to hear a pop in the front all day. I can see you squinting everytime you wanted to hit the gas. Did it make anything easier on that size tire?

So Will, did you wait to hear a pop in the front all day. I can see you squinting everytime you wanted to hit the gas. Did it make anything easier on that size tire?

I never tried climbing with one front tire, mostly because I didn't wanna flex it a lot with the sway still connected, but they did awesome. I love em. Took them down to 10 PSI and the sidewall hardly budged. I'm gonna run 8 next time. I did a few climbs that I've never done before. The clearance is almost 2 inches more at the bottom of the 8.8 when aired down. I didn't get stuck coming up this hill like I always did...

(http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq9/mdo817gatrailrider/Toys%20For%20Tots/100_2284.jpg)

I had to gas it a few times, but I made sure to keep the tires straight and not let it hop. They did awesome! The clearance is what I like the most, but they've definitely got more traction too. These things bite! Can't wait to bump stop it and really wheel on them.
