I used to run 8 to 10 psi without beadlocks. We can reset beads in minutes so I would say go down to 10 psi. I will be around 3 psi

How much Fuel or Gas will be using? I will be topping off in Elbe. Just I dont have any jerry cans nor do I have any place to mount gas cans. So really not sure why I am asking other then to make sure I guess. Anyways anyones input?

This might be off topic and I am sorry, But I must tell somebody what I just got done. I just installed some Tomken Rock Sliders. I was thinking body damage is fine if it happens. But I do like the ability to open and close my doors. Anyways I will be there early and

Today was a blast. Thank you all for your tips and helping me spot, in those few places.

Hey Branden, Were you running the busy when all that happened? That sucks about the luck. But I am glad I was not with you. I might of had worse luck then you.

Anyways hopefully we can go up again sometime. Take care guys.

Ryan

Me and the wife had an blast. It was an good showing. Wish it was an differant day though. Elbe was packed. We didn`t get are chance to run the Busy because my heep was making an noise all day in the frontend until the Locker finally broke. And somewhere alone the way i pushed my rock slider into my door so now my door rubs alittle and an new dent in the same door.
