I'd say we did miss a good day of riding, why don't you come down to Chattanooga to ride Aetna Mtn. We will be meeting at 1:00 in Tiftonia at the Hardies. It is on interstate 24 just west of Chattanooga. That gives you plenty of time to drive down.

is that mud or rock stuck between your rim and tire? that happened to my buddy a few weeks ago when we went wheeling, we cleaned it out pretty well on the trails and kept going but he was still slowely losing air so we turned back? did you continure after this happened or turn back? if you continued did it damage the tire or rim at all?

Thanks for the comment of the xj...she is a work in progress and I have parts I need to install but I am waiting to get everything so I can do it all at once.
I would love you come wheeling with you all, I am on spring break right now and actually left for Daytona Fl pretty much as soon as I got off the trails....now I am enjoying the sun and sand instead of cold.

Let me know of future outings!

It is mud stuck between the tire and rim. A rock blew out the tire and then I still needed to get out of the rut so it packed with mud. Actually it worked out well because the mud sealed the tire from loosing anymore air. I was running 18lbs and it dropped to 10lbs. I aired it back up and kept going and it had reseated itself by the end of the day. I aired it up to driving psi and drove home....no problems (other than balance because I lost weights)

Can't imagine wheeling with 18psi. I only run 20 on the road and 6-10 on the trail depending on how recently it rained and how impatience my wife is.

What kind of tires are you running? I have BFG AT's 31x10.50.... if i ran 6-10 lbs on the trail I would practically be on rim, and 20 on the road would cause horrible tread wear and gas mileage. Not to mention the nice skating feeling from the tire flex. I keep 30 in mine on the road...during the winter I up it to 35.
