rocker replacement/slider/mini boat sides are coming. My tire pressure gauge is wrong we found out on this trip, started the trail on what I thought was 76 psi, ended up being 10.5 so after gatekeeper and the first real ledge we rechecked with an arb gauge and went down to an actual 6 in front, 7 in the rear. Most of these pics were around 10. The tires work WWAAAYYYY better at 6.
But I have a set of 37" iroks to pick up in the next couple days

Nope, and they work their best around 6psi. They are well broken in and I think anything under that would be useless. If the rock has enough angle I'm climbing at that pressure it will squish it to the bead.

just went and picked up the next piece of the puzzle.
36x13.5x15 iroks. (measure 36.8 like any typical 37)
2 are pretty good and 2 are not. I sold my km2's so I will be buying 2 new iroks, then Ill keep the lowest 2 as spares.

I dont plan on it but if I do I will let you know lol. The tsl is much better in the mud than the iroks are, and still pretty decent everywhere else. Especially the sx's.

Well im leaning towards the irok's because they weigh less that the other swampers. I still have stock axles.
Ill take all the help i can get. I cant say that full widths arnt in the future though....

what size are you looking at though? For what you have down there, I cant really see it making a real difference, especially if it means getting a tire that works better for what you do.

Radial or bias? Better be ready to do a LOT of trimming and some more lift for the bias, as they are really a 37. The radial is a true 36, which I guess the same applies for than lol.
I just retrimmed the rear, which ill add some pics later. But its cut well above the pinch seam, and bumpstoped pretty low.
