I've completed the repairs and would like to test the new springs  :wink: .  Likely a shorter run for myself, thus meeting @ 09:00 @ McLean Store on Saturday works for me to allow decent trail/testing time.  I'm near stock and stockers would be capable of the trails I have in mind (bypasses are available).  Other trail suggestions are always welcome.

JennyStar, to get to McLean OHV area, goto Bragg Creek, go W on #66, turn L into the McLean OHV, follow the road to the Store.

I would love to go, specially if stock rigs are welcome...

I ask the question every run i ask about, and everyone ignores it, please answer me!!! ARE WRANGLER RT/S OK? when i look on the goodyear site, they are ranked below ATs for offroading, but i've seen ATs and they dont look like more agressive tread than mine. If i have to i'll take pictures, i would just hate to get there and get turned away cause my tires arent trail worth.

Thanks in advance,
Brad

Brad, I saw some R/T's on a vehicle today, I think, that if the conditions were dry you would probably be ok. But if there was even a little mud they would  not work so good. If the tires are getting below 60% or so I would not recommend going out wheeling. Upgrading to an off-road tire  would be a good idea.

When I started out, I used stock tires (all seasons in fact) on my stock YJ, and they worked OK when it was dry but sucked when they turned into gumballs in mud.  I still had fun and was just careful where I ventured, I also did a fair bit of solo wheeling and learned the easy trails during my adventures. (Probably not recommended by moderators  :wink: )  Just show up @ 09:00 at the Store - someone will be there and you can hook up.

After todays event in Bragg Creek, I could say so much here. But I will refrain.

For now :wink:
