[QUOTE="giles45shop, post: 549639, member: 5704"] Yep, Reds would be a good thing. The Toyos work okay, but I'm definitely at a disadvantage to my buddies. As mentioned, one of them has BFG reds and the other has 37 sticky Treps. It was the first outing for his Treps and he would have been trying the hill after me. Needless to say he decided against it. We are from the Tampa area, so we have to travel to any good wheeling. I've only been in this for a couple years, but my buddies have been wheeling for years, both East and West coast. The cage did hold up remarkably well. It was an ORFab bolt in sport cage with tie ins to the floor at the dash and a Rock hard add-on bar across the top in the back. Everything you read about bolt-in cages makes you think they will crumple in a stiff breeze, but I have proof thats not necessarily true. I was going to a full welded cage, but I had a chance to pick up another one of these cages from my buddy for $300 and decided it was a better use of funds to swap to an auto trans and leave the cage the same for now. Long term I want to stretch the Jeep and go ORIs or coilover/bypass shocks, so I only want to do the cage once and tie the suspension mounts into it, so I have to hold off. As long as I don't roll it bad again I can always sell it and recoup funds for the new cage. A lot of the guys were thinking I would get out of it after this, but I enjoy it too much and it was a good learning experience from both a wheeling and building experience as I basically did a complete frame-up rebuild by myself, including tub swap, electrical, tranny swap, painting, etc. I just wish I was closer to good wheeling. We are 8-10+ hours from decent placesin the East and I'm really wanting to wheel out West, but that can't happen on a regular basis :( [/QUOTE]
