Default bling bling

I got my Trail Shooters the other day. I am very impressed with them










I like to run air holes in my wheels but I hate getting my foams wet. Once they get wet the water seems to kill them. I decided that I would drill the air holes to where they would intersect with a bead lock hole. Now I can run them sealed or open... I just have to take out one screw. You just have to be careful to not drill through the screw hole.

I hear you on that. I hate drilling into brand new wheels but it needs to be done. I think this is my cleanest breather hole job yet. Being able to seal them up with a screw also makes cleaning a walk in the park

Rottenbelly was able to snap some awesome shots of the Jeep today. I am very pleased with the tires. The hook up very well and the lugs are loud on the rocks

Here is a good reason why friends don't let friends drive drunk.


Szczerba and I were scaling around in my backyard and I was giving the YJ quite the beating. I handed it over to Shane and all of a sudden pop! My front passenger wheel was cambered in real bad. I then took the radio from him and finished the job. I was surprised more didn't break.

When he drove it into the light it looked like this


then I beat on it some more and it looked like this

Ease up on the throttle and the 80 proof.

The YJ drives like a champ.
