Well today I finally got the chance to really test the Frankenlift and new wheels. We had a pretty SLOPPY MUDDY DAY!
It was hard at Twin Arch. So much rain over the last 2 days and the area was dry, so the rain just pooled up in most of the area. I was actually SCARED at a few spots. YES I WAS SCARED! But the Frankenlift PERFORMED WELL!!!!!!!
Here is a few pictures.

Stever71 has some other pictures. I have not seen them yet.

Thoes where not too short of puddles. They were pretty deep in some spots. And most of them were long and had to climb up to get out of them.
My new firestone Destinations did VERY WELL. not as good as my BFG AT/KO's but did very well.
I was suprized in my trires.

the next day after all the mud dryed on the KJ, I was driving and I noticed a slight wobble in my rear end. I took off my back tire on the drivers side and saw nothing. Then I went to the passangers side and when I took off that tire and rolled it away from me, I heard something. I brought the tire down the street to the tire place and they opened it and found mud inside the tire.

Now I gotta say we ABSOLUTLY HAD FUN that day.

I never ever had mud inside the tire before. This is going to be a new hi for me!

:twisted:

You know it scooby.

It was HARD up there saturday with all the rain we got. We were not there any longer than 5 mins before we got stuck.
I almost got stuck pulling steve out. That's how bad it was.
But it sure was a blast.
