Brutal Canyon AZ with a NWW

Symon623 · Dec 28, 2010

What a great trail.... I have to agree with Thom in that this is one of the funnest runs we have...... We had 9 rigs and an awesome time on 12/24. There was no carnage but Rich's friend Bob had a Rubi front locker that wasn't working so he fought quite a bit to get through. I had a sidewall slice that I got on the first run on these tires a year ago finally start leaking right at the exit to the trail, I through some plugs in it and it held fine.

The start of that other trail...... and the hill climb to this trail;

Since Rich's wife was there and Rich was bein Mr Safe driver he took the winch;

Nice!

I have to ask your opinion, cause I haven't seen very many people running them, how do the radial trepadors do?

They seem to work pretty good..... the guy with the Santa on the winch has his siped. Personally I am a bigger fan of Goodyear MTRk's. Even tho I just cut a couple of them they work great for what I use them for. I've been abusing mine for almost a year now and they work great in all conditions, are round and pretty quiet at 75 MPH on the highway.
