I like the combo a lot. Had the RC shocks before and the TF may be a little stiiffer. There may be softer shocks out there--I don't know.

 

I ran 33s for about 50K miles (DC FC IIs) and was quite pleased with them, even on the rocks. Mostly the reason for going to 35s was the looks, to be honest. With the 33s I followed folks with 35s on difficult rated trails such as Elephant Hill, Fins and Things and Poison Spider Mesa, as well as a lot of play time at Disney, OK. When I went to 35s, I also regeared at the same time: 4.10s/33s to 4.88s/35s. Gas mileage went from about 15-16 to 13-14. For overlanding, that can be a serious consideration.

33s on Poison Spider Mesa ...

 

Good looking trip, rig, and photos!

 

Anybody on here do any winter expeditions to find some nice back country skiing/snowboarding?

 

I LIVE for this!

 

Nice setup.....

 

Very nice rig! Is that a mil trailer? Did you buy or make that cover?

 

Thanks. These were last year (not much snow this year). The rig has undergone a major overhaul (new lift, new wheels, new tires, new engine, new lights, rails, and hood) since those pics were taken. Can't wait to get it out again...we just got a foot on Sunday with more coming! I've got a 3-day trip planned for this weekend if all goes well.

Yes, modded M416A1. Made the lid, crucial for keeping things dry. Tracks pretty well in the snow believe it or not, even though axles are a little narrower than Jeep.

 

I LIVE for this!

I envy you. Someday down the road this is what I will be doing.

 

Awesome setup! One day I hope for something similar.
