Looks good Broady.
Now, after running both, Reds or Treps FTW? ???
I appreciate it bud, still up in the air. Like Mo stated, I need to play with the pressure, I think they were a little high for crawling. One of my gauges said 7-8psi (what I intended them to be) then I checked my digital gauge and it said 12-13 :-\ . I think the reds are a little stickier, but man do the treps hook better in sloppy stuff.

It takes a dozen trips for treps to really break in
They have been sitting for a while un-mounted so they are super stiff. Towards the end of the day I noticed the lugs were getting softer

Broady...whats the clicking on your rig? Most noticeable in the rock garden video. AND...how are you liking the ORI's vs. your previous setup?
My RCVs are making some noise, it has quieted down some. They sat dry for like 2 years in my garage, we put so much grease in them, I am hoping it will work its way around the bells and quiet it down. I am keeping an eye on it. I also found some grease on the outside of the Red Boot yesterday while washing so I am hoping everything is ok, we'll see.
And the 4 linked front with ORIs all the way around is so much better it isn't even funny. I am coming from a super rigid homebrew leaf sprung front with crappy shocks and a linked rear with air shocks.
I could not believe how stable the truck is now. I actually dipped a tire in a deep ditch Saturday to see how far it would go over before tipping, it just kept on going. Very Happy so far!!!!

We never checked air pressure. Will be dropping it down next time.
I do love the treps and reds both. If it weren't for the 64 lug nuts to remove and install twice we would have swapped tires to give real world testing
One of these days we are gonna both hit an obstacle, pull back down and swap wheels and tires and try it again. Mo and I already discussed it, we will make sure to video it for a real world comparison.
;D
