Had a lot of fun up at Rubithon
Didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked to though..
Here we are somewhere near Modesto I think.. Steve blew up a 39" Swamper. You know, so many people give me CRAP for running MTRs. Everyone says how weak the sidewalls are and how they are GARBAGE, but you know what, I wouldn't give up my MTRs for NOTHING. When they can work so well in the rocks and snow, and then still be quiet and have excellent road manners, there is nothing else that I would want to run.
So to all of you MTR haters, you can all EAT IT!
And
here
is
what's
left
from
gatekeeper
!! That used to be one of my favorite spots and now its a paved road. My MR2 could have gone through there
Here is a shot of the Pivot blocks in action
MiniSimp: out on the trail, boy-o-boy do these things KICK ASS! They were pivoting all over the place and this is by far the best my truck has handled while rock crawling.
With the combination of the pivot blocks and the lighter spring rate, my truck has NEVER wheeled this good. I was going over stuff while keeping all four tires down. Rocks that used to give me the Sidehill puckers now don't do anything. The tires articulate and I keep going. My body is able to remain much more horizontal now with the much much much improved rear suspension. Cheers to the Pivot Blocks!
