Vegas Crew -----> ROLL CALL

I use Orux for Android. Don't know if Apple has that app.

You can check out Gaia. It has pretty good reviews.

Anybody know of some good wheelin' spots just south of or in the area of Mountain Springs?, and up for some off-roading tomorrow morning?, coming from Pahrump, bringing a buddy with a jeep, I like to use my locker....
 
Mountain Springs has a trail. I think it's called Rainbow Springs. You can start from Lovell Canyon and end up in Mountain Springs or vise versa.
 
Hey guys if anyone is looking for a set of 2014+ SR5 TRDP or Trail NFAB steps hit me up. These are pretty much brand new used for like a week until I got my sliders.


Local sale only ***Las Vegas NV***

I have a pair of pretty much new N-Fab steps fits 2014+ SR5 TRDP and Trail Models only. $200 local Las Vegas Nevada pickup ONLY!



 
Putting a feeler out. when I ordered my Baja Rack the company sent me the wrong rack and sent me the full length utility rack. Needless to say it was damaged in shipping. The good news anyone who has remotely any kind of fabricating skills can fix this thing easy there are two bent bars towards the front of the rack that could easily be fixed and bent back or re welded on. I am waiting till I get the green light from the company that I'm free to dispose of this rack, since they will be getting there claim money from the shipper.

Willing to let this $900 rack go for $300 comes with all the mounting hardware and bolts. I would hit Baja Rack up for a new fairing but outside of this Anyone who takes this to a fab shop can get this bad boy fixed and ready for use easily. You could also cut the portion from the sunroof forward and use this as a flat utility rack with no fairing, it's be a low profile flat rack.

So we ran a couple trails up there last, there's a lot of little trails that we're going to have to explore next time, I like the tight spot, roof scraping, wedged in, 3wheelin stuff!
 
Finally got some tires, Cooper ST Maxx in 255/80-17. I hope I don't regret the thinner tire over 285s!

Out of curiosity, why did you choose 255's instead of 265 or 285?

I spent several months debating all three sizes, and even 275/70-17s. There are several threads and articles about 'pizza cutter' tires, and I liked what I read about them. With 285s I assumed that I would need to do the body mount chop, and didn't want to mess with that. These tires are just over 32" cold. So far, no rubbing, but they haven't been flexed and have only 50 miles on them.



With that said, anyone wheeling 2/16?

Thanks for the info!

So on a wider view, I just moved here from Portland and just bought a new T4R Trail. I'm looking to get new off road tires for my rig and get out on some trails. What suggestions do you have for tires? I've been looking at Toyo R/T's and Nitto Terra Graplers; Nitto's are substantially more affordable. Just looking for some input and suggestions from you folks. Thanks!

Also, do I need an aftermarket lift (Icon, Toytec, etc.)?

You can decide A/T, M/T,or hybrid tires. I've had Wrangler MT/Rs and NittoTGs, both E rated, on my cruiser, and really liked them both. I like the comfort and noise better on the A/T over the M/T though. The ST Maxx is considered a Hybrid, but there is a noticeable hum. Check out also Nitto TG 2's. My local Discount tire had several truck tires on display. There is also a Tire Mart on Losee, so you see other tire offerings in person.

Here's a chart/thread to get you started:

Expedition Portal also did a comparison:

If you stay stock size or even 275/70-17, you shouldn't need a lift.

2/15 I'm game, I've been attracting too many insane jeeps and need to roll with my own kind, lol..
 
2/16 will work for me too. I was thinking Nellis dunes, but I don't know how busy it will be on the three day weekend.

I'll shop around for some other locations too.
 
As I pulled out of a stall after work I felt a slight hump and this happened, tire went flat. Someone must've envied my ride and rigged my tire.

And here I am at Discount Tire for a flat repair, only to find out that the puncture is too large to repair. So I'll be having a brand new tire on this Monday when it comes in. Oh and it was time for balance and rotation.
