    Optima vs. Platinum

    I've recently had my Optima Yellow top die--completely, without warning, and at less than two years old (and averaging about 1 off roading trip every six months at that--that's averaging about $45.00 per trip for juice). I don't know what happened to it, but I haven't heard any bad things about...

    LTBs

    This is actually a follow-up to a thread I posted about six months ago. I'm currently running a set of Dunlop Mud Terrain radials (handle great on the street for MTs, but only average on the trail), but I want to go to a more aggressive tire. I'm looking seriously at the LTBs. I do general...

    East TN moderate wheeling

    I live in the Knoxville area, and would love to do some moderate wheeling. I've found that most of the 4wd clubs around here are more oriented towards very hard (lockers, 39"+, hybrids) wheeling than I want to/am able to get in to. Also, my experience with Windrock is that it's gone from a...
