Default My First outing with the New Rubi

I spent a nice afternoon at Tuttle Creek ORV yesterday with some of my buds. It was a blast! I couldnt have been more happy with the rig. The suspension, lockers and sway bar-disconnect worked well together. I am having trouble trusting myself with the 6-speed but I got it figured out pretty quick. My full traction 3 inch suspension flexxed well and the Toyos were great on the rocks! I ran about 8 PSi and they gripped well. The only thing that flexxed that I didnt want to was my lod rear bumper....too much wobble with the tire carrier off-road. No body damage but dusty as heck. Here are some pics.

8 PSI??? I need some beadlocks. I usually go down to around 18-20 PSI on a cold tire. I really probably should go more to like 12-15. Looks like you are having some fun!

There is a fine line between fun and almost soiling your underware. I like to ride the line!

Nice pics! I love the rocks.

I run about 11-12 psi with my non-beadlocked wheels. As long as I have a 12.50 wide tire on an 8" rim I'll run them that low.

how bad was the wobble on the LOD bumper? could it be an install issue? Anybody else had the same problem with this bumper? I'm still debating if I should get one or wait ....

Oh and by the way, nice pics !!!
