I saw them in action last weekend and they were very impressive. I can't believe how aggressive they look for an AT. I have a feeling they will be a big seller, if they aren't already.

I've heard all good things about them and I think they look great for an A/T tire. I get them put on Monday and I can't wait.

We had two JKs with them this weekend and both performed perfectly. I think you will be very happy.

I just read this whole thread again... are you going to post your plan for the weekend?

I also had a couple of questions for the stock newbie...
Where do I get a flag prior to the outing?

What do I need to bring other than food personal stuff?

Does the hitch work for a tow point? I have hooks in front...

Should I bring boots etc for if/when I get stuck?

Can someone help me air down tires or should I pick up my own tool to do so?

Sorry for all the q's just am really looking forward to the outing and don't want to overlook a very simple thing that could make it a better time had I only thought it through...Thanks!

If your camping, bring a tent, extra clothes, tools.....etc....

hitch work for a tow point...your good on that one....

yes definately bring boots or whatever you want to wear....buster wears sandals sooooo......

we will def. help you air down and disconnect your sway bar......

Oh and you can buy one of their badlands flags at the gates or buy a orange flag from walmart and zip tie it to your spare.
YOUR ALL GOOD!!!!!

Hey everyone camping.....

Last week I saw a big red sign at the entrance to the campground that read "No Alcohol Allowed in Campgrounds".

We might want to consider an alternate location. There is anouther campgroung about 8 miles away according to the Badlands website. It looks like it has a lot less rules....

Just a thought.
