Tonga ridge

Crash,
How many rigs are you expecting? I am going there or Jack's pass so if it is not going to be a winch fest I may join you.

Corey Y · Dec 24, 2015

Friday or Saturday?

Hang over run is always the first isn't it? I guess unless your hangover runs into the 2nd heh heh!

I missed the after Christmas run because the rig wasn't ready. Got some time and she's ready and the chains are loaded.

Can you clarify the meeting spot? I've never been here before.

I had fun even though we didn't make it too the top. Thanks to everybody who helped tug my ass out... all those times.

Even though nothing broke, this was a very expensive trip for me. Some 39.5/13.5R17 bias Iroks are headed to 4WheelParts with my name on them.

Now on to the beadlocks...Trail Ready is by top choice but the Trail Gears get good reviews and are a bit cheaper. I'm not a huge fan of the TG look, but that won't be a driver.

crash2 · Jan 2, 2016

Nice meeting ya dave and ya you would have been fine--until ya followed me,lol

I would prefer to support a LOCAL very HIGH QUALITY producer of beadlocks. :awesomework:

Thats just me tho.

TG does not support good bizz ethics. :eeek:

Don't do 17" Irocs. They will not stay on the inner beads when aired down.

Too late now...

Maybe I should go with Hutchinson double beadlocks. I do like the DOT nature of them, I just wasn't thrilled about the backspacing. I'll keep having to run spacers for sure.
