You can see a couple of pictures of it at the link below v

35 inch BFG short course on yota wheels

$400 unless you wanna pay more located in my garage I bought these to get my feet wet in a Sami with rear steer. Tires did well, contrary to Ed’s beliefs. Sidewalls are tough, just not quite as sticky as a true red label. As long as you aren’t mud bogging by gawd, they’ll do what you want out...

Since the pictures were taken, it has a name and an engine that will move it.

If Kel's driving strategy pays off, it'll upset some feelings.
If it doesn't, it'll make for a fun time watching.

80% of solid axle and 100% of rear steer rigs will put me to shame so I'm hoping for the :popcorn:

This little guy....I wouldn't worry about it hurting feelings. It's lucky to get on and off the trailer after I took the Stevie Wonder rockcrawling driving school.

I really thought after already having one underpowered turd on 39s he would have went with 37s on this one :fish:

I bet 100 psi would get them sitting a little taller.

Looks like we will be there for this ride! Can't wait!

Apparently this is becoming one of "the rides" to go to. It'd be nice to get a ton of videos and pictures up before and after. Put a rig with a name from as many people that are going. I think mines in the comments above. I also think that I will probably have more dents and dings than the rest of you after this ride.

Have you seen @Mattman347's explorer?

If I wasn't so damn lazy, I would put my pos back together and take that crown :****:

This will be our first trip to Harlan so looking forward to seeing everyone and seeing all the trails.

You'll love it!

That's even more appropriate given that I've been towed by him. Along with almost every person I know.

That's what I've always been told too. Between work and previous offroad vehicles (XJ and RzR), we haven't been able to come up to Haraln before, so with the juggy and working from home we will finally get to go up to Harlan and be there for the Memorial Ride.

This one has a ton more steering and almost 7 more hp. Should be a good time.

Whelp, less than a week before I pull into Harlan. Tossing an exhaust and intake gasket on. Gonna nut and bolt check tomorrow and then Stony for a shakedown run. Pretty excited for this cooler weather....I need to check the weather to see if I need to bring a roof.

Kel · Sep 26, 2020

And mainly because I like typing to myself. Nut and bolt check was started. Replacing intake and exhaust gaskets done. Let's run it for a minute to let it get to temp before finishing the bolt check and running it around the yard. What could go wrong starting this big block?
