    Dual sport ride on Sunday 10/9?

    Weather is supposed to be nice.

    Last Sunday I did Old Flowers Road, 7 Mile, and Sand Creek Road/Pass near Red Feather Lakes. Had a blast. The first half of 7 Mile was far more rocky than I'd like,...

    Re: 2016 Fall Cleanup Run, Sunday Sep 25

    I'm planning on swinging by during the cleanup run on my KLR 650. I'll be the guy in the hi-viz jacket and helmet. If you see me in the ditch, pull me out. :)

    Dual sport ride?

    I've been offline for a while... In the meantime, picked up a Yamaha TW200 and a Kawasaki KLR 650.

    Re: LOCKERS LOCKERS AND MORE LOCKERS

    I'm not against a dream rig. Just want to point out that unless you're skilled, like yourself, building a JK can get real expensive real fast.

    38-inch BFG KM2 are ~$500 each so that's $2500....

    You're talking about an expensive rig here. Ballpark,

    07-12 jk: $10-20k
    wheels/tires $5k
    v8 swap: at least $20k done professionally
    axles: $20k

    That's easily $60k in just the opening...

    Re: tire discussion! big ol' tire thread.

    Exactly. When I ran the Goodyear Duratracs, they were unstoppable in the snow for the first two years. After that (and 30k miles), they were so so.

    Re: tire discussion! big ol' tire thread.

    The SRA is a good street tire. Soft ride, ok traction in rain. Nothing special in snow, but maybe better than an M/T unless the snow was deep.

    Re: tire discussion! big ol' tire thread.

    The Duratracs are an awesome all-around tire. Ran these in my JK for ~50k miles.

    Winter-rated. Great on-road in the snow and rain. Great in all but the harshest off-road conditions. I don't like...

    Jeep JK Wrangler rock rails

    Mopar "Enhanced" rock rails. I run these. Same as the Rubicon rails, but with a step/bar. Mine were $600 new, these are $260. Looks like a steal.

    Re: Damage on new JK

    My advice for the JK is do a ton of research and keep it as low as you can. Anything over 3 inches and you end up with other problems (ask me how I know). If I had to do it again, I'd still do 35s...

    Awesome. That's a serious saw. Also looks like serious cash. ~$200?

    I use the Sven Saw which is less serious in both dimensions.
