No, but more footprint (with the proper compounding) will give more grip. Thus the reason for dropping pressure. Dropping the pressure actually does a couple of things. It allows the tire to flex over the rock (stump, whatever - giving more contact area) and it spreads the load on a longer...

great photos. Thanks for the updates. However, I agree with James (as do a number of other folks who have replied to the above thread). I have merged all of your threads into this single thread, so lets keep it at that. No need to be making a new thread for every single day you shoot...

yeah, good deal :rolleyes: I think you meant 4 for the price of 3

You can take the ratio of the tire sizes and that will give you a pretty good idea. If you can find the actual revolutions per mile for the tire that is actually a bit more accurate. I looked on Goodyear's website, and they don't show the actual RPM, but they do show the overall diameter...

Someone help me out here. I thought that this year's supercrawl was going to broken up by day for each class. I could be totally off base, as I have not been keeping up with the comps lately. What I"m asking is whether the supercrawl is going to be one day for Extreme series, one day for pro...

A few months ago, I was by RL and they were putting a set of rocker guards on a YJ. I don't think it would be terribly difficult for them to take that same guard and adapt it (or build one specifically for ) a TJ. This rocker was a plate type that mounted to both the body and the frame...

Looks awesome with the white chassis. I know it is a ways away, but has anyone thought about a thanksgiving trip to Moab?

Those gears for the speedo aren't that expensive. I paid about $10 for mine from the jeep dealership on state street just north of the interstate. I've not done any mileage calculations lately, but that is because most of my driving is on the trial. I'm sure I'm not getting great mileage, but...

Nice ride Greg. How'd it run for the big bash?

the most amazing part is that he actually didn't break anything. He put it in reverse, backed out and tried the obstacle again (rocker knocker). He came back down and drove the vehicle all the way out. He had no limiting straps on the rear axle at all and it simply inverted the driver side...

Yeah, went out with many of the same guys to do pritchett. There were a lot of people out there, and several other groups had carnage. Except for Kelley's rolls, noone in our group had any trouble. And, I really think kelly was just trying to see how hard he could roll his rig. He rolled it...

JT, got any photos of that rig of your's? I heard you went out with Wayne XJ on Sunday.

check www.uroc.com. I think it is the weekend of Oct 14-16.

The best part was that TJ with the j-arm rear suspension that completely inverted his rear axle. Wish I would have had my camera.

Great job guys. Glad to hear it went well.

I don't really know for sure, but the Taureg was 4wd& off road's 4x4 of the year. I think it was 4wd&OR anyway. it was one of the mags 4x4 of the year. how extreme are you planning to get with your $40K+ brand new vehicle? I would think that almost any SUV will handle typical off road...

here's what ksl had to say about it.

thanks for the clarification.

Why remove the rear driveline? If you're going to flat tow and remove drivelines, it seems you should remove both. My understanding of the auto hubs in the TJ are that the front driveline still rotates even when the t-case is in 2wd. If I'm wrong, I hope someone will correct me. People...

good job detective. It will be interesting to see if that guy gets charged with any crimes.
