Yup, or for me my semi-auto pouch, never know what kinda riff-raff will stumble into camp at night. Great cot but can be a bitch to get that last cross-bar snapped in.

You just need to put the cot together before too many beers.

When do the trails to Coyote or Mirror or Strawberry close? I wouldn't mind heading back up for a weekend run before winter.

Nice video.

I've only gotten through about a minute or two of it so far, but can tell it's got some great stuff in it.

How long is that thing?

Are those 34x10.50's on that white TJ? Looked like LTB pizza cutters to me. Fairly tall and really skinny.

I just don't think it would be as much fun due to the fact you would be too stressed and not be able to actually enjoy the trail. The skids are short for Skid Plates which is a wise investment for any rig doing any type of trail. It doesn't take a huge rock to bust something underneath. You have many types of skids out there covering virtually every component and costing a couple hundred to up over a thousand for a complete set-up. I'm sure many here agree you should cover your Oil Pan, Tranny/T-case first and can get some nice thick skids for those components at almost every major dealer. Don't forget about new Diff covers also, the stocky's have been battle tested and won't hold up against a sizeable rock.
I know what skids are..LOL..it was a retoricle (sp) question...I think I will wait until I get my little 3" lift and 35's before I attempt some of the harder trails

Yeah you never know who you’re talkin to, a guy that's been wheeling for 1 week or 20 year's...., Unfortunately you can't read body language or sarcasm from a post...Hate that part of it. Good luck with the lift and tires.

Well, I read it and immediately got the hint of sarcasm. I guess it's 'cause my mentality defaults to sarcastic.
