Were any of you guys able to climb the big hills, such as Buttercup straight up?

-Josh

I went up most all of them. I dont know which one buttercup is though.

True. The tires you and Whtrapta had really kicked some ass!

Only time I got stuck was when I forgot to put it in four wheel drive doh!

Yeah i was yelling through the walkie "put it in 4wd!!" And RW is yelling back "we are!!" , which I then yell "no your not! Check again!" Haha! It's because my 23000 lumen of Whelen lights were disorienting you!

Did they both have Mickey Thompson Claws?

 

[RaptorWifey]

We just figured we'd park on that hillside for a minute... You're right, its because you brought the sun with you...lol

Curious which tires they were running as well.

 

[whtrapta]

I ran mickey baja claw ttc. WSI has new nitto trail grapplers. Moto had new toyo open country m/t and everyone else was stock. Everyone was aired down to around 20-30

 

[Wheela]

ya I was at 30 psi 1st time out then dropped them down to 22 and it made all the difference

For the guys who were there and got to use my air deflator, they really liked it. So I thought I’d post up what it is so if anyone would like to get one. It takes about a minute or so to air down, but it keeps the valve stem completely incased so there is not chance to lose it. It also allows you to check the air pressure while the tire is being deflated. It’s a nifty little tool and I was lucky to have a friend by it for me for a birthday present.
