did some wheeling today. I'd say my tires did well considering my 4X4 doesn't work and have an open diff. I did get stuck, but i had a $25 harbor freight ***-along that saved me!
Talk about some THICK mud! was over a foot deep in some spots!

That should be on your priority list (Fixing the 4 wheel drive) BEFORE all the other toys

Looks good so far. I love the color you painted the wheels.

Oh, you need to add a spare tire carrier to your to-do list..

after some research and looking around i decided im going with this instead of the lockers i was gonna get. This one is better for a daily driver.
