lol, its hard for me to take pics where i want them taken since i roll solo most the time.. bad thing is i have a sweet canon camera, i will get a trail dawg to accompany me sooner than later though, one thats willing to take some pics.. one of my homies has a quad, was thinking about dragging him along to run the camera when it gets a lil bit warmer..

Love it! traction is superb if not better
Couldn't take photos while wheeling but I managed to rig up my iphone to the mirror for some video. I know it's a long video and boring at parts but it shows some damn impressive climbing and descending

Yeah
I'm very impressed with my little TH. Fit her many places that my big beast of a truck would have laughed at me for.
Trying to find someone who was brave enough to try 265/70R17s out to see if I can too. The tire I want comes in 245 as well but I want that just little bit wider look.

I'd like to see a little taller tire as well. Even a 255/70R17 (31.1x10x17).


I'm looking forward to getting to the trails but with school and work I haven't had time yet. Only forrest roads and ATV trails around here, so no real challenges. There's some nice off-road areas out by Mineral Wells, TX I'll try next time I get home to TX.

I have to cross this creek to get to several deer stands. Doesn't look bad, but I scrape skid plates if I don't choose just the right path.
