how many points do you get for slashing a tire on a jagged boulder

tannerp89

-1 for not seeing the jagged boulder

Forgot about splitting a t-case in half and breaking the tranny mount. If you ain't breaking stuff you need to try harder. Oh and a Detroit that then killed the ring and pinion.

they are firestone destination a/t's. they do better than any other tire I have used for GENERAL PURPOSE. they do very well on rocks, snow and rain. but i have managed to get them stuck in the mud a few times. but i would think twice about putting them on a vehicle for light duty use. they are 10 ply tires and my 31x10.5x15 weights about 51lbs.
i bought them because i ride a lot of logger trails and the last thing you want is your tire going flat on a stump.
but here's what they can do:

Tural, what do you have under the hood? Those videos make me homesick for Ky where i grew up. I used to see those old logging roads wandering through the hills and wish o could go 4wheeling on them. Thanks for the info on the tires too, they sound a little tougher than the misses needs.

Tural

it's the stock 4.0 with some salt and pepper. and a bit of hot sauce
i call it the juggernaut
i took those videos while i was stationed at Ft. Indiantown Gap, PA. some days we'd finish work at noon and just didn't feel like going back to the barracks

What branch are you or were you serving in? My best bud from Ky is in the Army stationed in the middle east as a flight medic on black hawks. Really great guy, also has a cherokee.

I'm in the Army Guard. Ordnance Corps. i'm a wheel vehicle mechanic.

Thanks for serving and good choice to go with the hobby.

wish they'd let me put a gun mount on my XJ and let me take it overseas with me. an XJ with a 50 cal. would be beyond sick

Might not get stuck as much as the hummers, and save a billion on gas. Of course the body armor would have to be limited.

wowzers.... all trail damage I have is some scrapes and a bent rear bumper (slid backwards and bumped a tree )...

Well I have only made it to the trails 3X in the last year I owned my Jeep. I have managed to break my windshield due to body flex (floorboards, come to find out, are important structural component of a unibody vehicle, and I ain't got none), ripping out both mirrors (my old trail vehicle, an 84 yota 4runner had flex mirrors- not so much on a 95 XJ) as well as denting most of the body panels.

I like my trail damage, and half of the dents were there (door dings n such) when I got it so I had to add some of my own... The only thing that has really stopped me on trail has been snagged and snapped brake line and PS hose died.

Granted, what I do would probably be a mild trail ride for some of you guys, but I have fun! :-) Hope I can get more aggressive off-road now that I have a second Jeep for DD.
