OK, changed oil, cleaned air filter, have all the camping stuff ready to go, and packed clothes!!!

Only thing not done, is I need FedEx to bring my spot lights.



Also, my stock tire are in pretty rough shape (chunks missing, chewed up, little tread)...

Would it be smarter to get new tires before TRR or after????

After...unless you plan on just running the second half of the course only.

The second half is actually A LOT easier on the raptor, and more a fit for its design. I think the front half was where most trucks dented skid plates and chunked their tires...

Of course the back half is where you run the potential of a bent frame or killing your alignment with the jumps...but damn it was fun!

I pre-drilled holes and then used sheet metal screws. Self-tappers may work, but I had a really hard time trying to get them started, so I went to regular metal screws.

I haven't jumped since I installed the ax and shovel, so I don't know how strong they are yet.

The only thing that has worked for me is through bolting or rivets. I've had zero luck with self tappers.

Definitely after, if you get new tires, they will just look the same way after TRR.
