Offroad pics

[99 Expy]

Hey guys, what do you all have for off roading pictures? I haven't taken many since I'm always having more fun on them than taking pictures. I'll try to remember more pics while I'm out. These pictures are all from southeast Wyoming.

Why do you say "suck in mud"? weight? clearance? Havn't had our off road yet....but will soon.

i'm assuming you dont have a lift or anything, how did it do? I might take mine soon, but im apprehensive

ppppssshhhhh... suck in mud... yeah right haven't been stuck yet

Thanks guys. I don't have a lift. . . yet. I haven't gotten stuck yet. I have only had to use 4x4 once in a big mud hole but it was pretty deep. I have only had problems on really steep hills with sand because I lose speed at the top and she digs in pretty good. Haven't been defeated yet Also went down a "4x4 only road" in the mountains the other day and it was very rough. Loved driving through the snow and didn't even use 4 wheel when I was in the heavy stuff, just would be nice with some more clearance. Love the BFG AT's and would recommend them to others. 10 ply is a necessity when driving on these nasty rock Wyoming roads. . .

no sry. these things rock in mudd. i hit mudd holes at speed and make it threw. no i mean these tires suck in mudd. in my opinion. ive had to get pulled out a few times in mudd cause the tires let me down. even at low pressure. i think if i had better tires i would be better. but up hill i like to challenge my self. like at the dunes i make it... almost. they just dig in.

Ya, I these wouldn't be my first choice as a mud tire, but they have gotten the job done. Not to much mud out here in the mountains, and if there is, I usually sink down far enough to reach rock. They do do awesome on rock and from previous vehicles, have been pretty good in snow. If only the KM2's weren't on back order when I tried buying them . . .

 

[panda24619]

yeah i dont blame you. i dont like the KM2s for some reason. idk. i like the KM1s better but hey i still dont like back ordering.

Here's some I took the day after I got my new treads. Enjoy.
Tire on a sharp rock @20 psi

Crazy flex on level trail with bumper 6" off the trail

Another cool flex shot

Here's one of the tracks made by the sidewall treads on the edge of the trail

i love the pictures you got of the expy, looks like alot of fun, an poppa wheelie those are very nice treads

 

[99 Expy]

Nice pics poppa wheelie. I wish I had more mud to play in, but here in Wyoming, snow is just around the corner I can't wait to laugh at all of the out-of-staters from down south stuck in their little box cars. The snow will also add some extra challenge to some of the tougher trails. . . until there is to much snow. Then its time to break out the sleds!!!

now these tires dont like snow ive herd. let me know how you experience them with the snow before i decide to go this year. and poppa i was going to get me some of those tires but the guy sold them. and i like the no bead lock stud but street lock bead still on there look. that make sense? haha

 

[Poppa Wheelie]

Yeah thanks, I took the phony bolts out as soon as I bought those wheels. I like the holey ring but the useless bolts were too much for me.
As far as tires go, so far I am LOVING the Hankooks. If we get snow in the forecast, I will go in and get them siped. If that's not enough they will be wearing studs.

Panda, This will be my first winter with the AT's but my dad has them on his 05 250 powerstroke, and his business partner had them on two of his trucks and loved them in the winter. He got 70,000 out of them on his 350. Last winter, he switched to a Michelin LTX Winter tire recommended by the tire guy and he hated it.

That looks like the snowy mountain range... i did alot of wheelin down there while i went to wyotech alot of mud and deep water

 

[99 Expy]

The pic of the mountains is south of the Snowies, but the pic with the snow is in the Snowies. The rest are east of town in the Laramie Range. They are all great places to ride, but the Snowies go a lot deeper with great trails.

okay. i just wanted to make sure. i have who knows how many miles on these. i got them from my uncles for $200. had more then 50% left. but for $200 couldnt beat it exspecialy when i sold the rims for $400. haha made $200. but the snow here is hardly snow. but i just wanted to make sure these tires would do okay. might go to the desert and take a detour threw some mountain towns that i like. might get me some apple pies from Julian.
