It was Wet/Muddy/RAINY ...guys with open diffs and 33-35s were struggling , but it was a fun run . I will say this from watching a couple folks from other groups there...If you're still hung up on denting or scuffing the paint as to the point you would ***** about it then maybe stay on the paved roads . Also from another group we had an "APLHA" spotter doing his thing giving direction to every driver of every rig and giving anyone he thought to be taking his job away a mean looking eye ...lol...why is it these guys never have a bad *** rig of their own to show us how it's done ?

Looking at 40 inch Competition Trepadors for next year , so I'm looking for used steel wheels in a 17 to beadlock for them in the meantime ...If i don't find them used I'll obviously get them new since they are still cheap and DIY beadlocks are cheap making for a Beadlocked set of 17s that cost around $700. I also need to get my trailer work done B/C these will not like highway trips .
Anyone use 4WP for an alignment? I made the $75 mistake by taking my rig to Firestone by my house, and needless to say, I am more than disappointed with the outcome. After talking to the tech and explaining my setup and my concern about the caster, he ended up not even touching the adjustment for caster. The damn thing wanders all over the road to the point it's a handful to drive. I need someone to set up the alignment correctly.
Seth, can your guys help me out?

I took mine over to 4WP where Seth works and they looked it over. I had to much worn out stuff for them to align it at that time (control arm bushings, track bar bushing, ball joints). They offered to price out fixing things for me but I figured it would be more then I would want to spend. Got everything done now except ball joints so I'll hopefully be rescheduling an appointment soon.
I appreciated their honesty and they seemed to know what they were talking about.
