Well decided to run out to Little Moab Sat. morning. When we got there around 10:30, we were surprised to see nobody out there. About 1 people started to show up. Ended up with about 10 rigs. Still haven't made it through an entire day without major body damage, but the Toy seems to be working pretty well. Oh, and this was the initial trial for my new tires. 36-12.50-15 Swamper SX's.

Cool, pics! What were your impressions of the SXs compared to whatever you were running before?
I think I'm going to like them a lot. I'm not used to the stiffness, I only aired down to 9psi fr/rr. I think next I go out I'll try about 6. I just finished getting the suspension under the truck, so I just had an old set of BFG MT 35s that I had laying around. Those were so soft and thin that they stuck like glue, but you never knew when a rock was going to puncture the sidewall.

So, your initial impression is that they don't stick as well as your worn-out BFGs? Insteresting. BTW, I've found you have to air em down to about 6 to make the sidewalls flex. They seem to climb best around that pressure too.
