Looking good, definately some soft sand out there! You have to air down much?

Yup, we aired them down from 40ish to about 15, the sidewalls hated me lol but held up pretty good. The sand was pretty soft but there were some spots that we took the Rhino into that we way soft lol.

15 :?: You ain't gonna want to know what these guys run then :shock: I have a stock '98 F150 Super Cab with what are allegedly 33/1250x17's, and I went to 8-10lbs last nite while the guys were testing El Chivo, and it worked good. If fact, Fozzie ran out of go water, and I drug him back to camp. I don't even know if Roman HAS air in the tires on his Wrangler :mrgreen:

lol, ya we were thinking we had 15 in there on Friday and then Saturday when we let some more out we pulled out the guage and realized we had been at 20. I'm sure it would float better on 10ish. It was neat though, I pulled up on a ridge with my group and a lady came running over, said they had a quad that had a blown front suspension and asked if I would take it back to their camp for them. It was a little kid's quad so it fit in my bed perfect. Boy were they ever glad to see me pull up lol.

Well now that school is over I decided to get down to relaxin'. I took the bar off the bumper, gonna clean it up and sell it so I can buy material for the new bumper. I also straightend out the bumper, looks a little bit better. I installed a sway bar quick disconnect and flexed the poo out of the truck, had the tailgate and the toolbox unlatching lol,

I haven't had the chance to clean the rims all winter, and the truck hasn't seen much of a wash since atleast February,
Before,

After,

I used some stainless steel dish scrubbers and some Turtle Wax Chrome Polish, first time I had polished and scrubbed them since I had them, usually just rub the surface rust off. I couldn't stop staring at the wheels, like mirrors! I still need to take the tires off and get around the valve stems, lug nuts, and center caps better though.
