Nice Vid Chris, just watched all 9 minutes and 5 seconds of it.

It looked like from the way it was editted that it got progressively harder as you went thru it. Kinda got deep in a couple of spots. You were quick to high center on that one rock when it got deep in that one section....4 minute mark maybe. Then you kept wanting to get your left wheel up on the rock and so you could ride across the top og the rocks. After about 5 tries you had to swing left and go closer to the bank.

I enjoyed it, Thanks!!


Oh yeah, are you running foams? And if so, do you remove them to dry them? Beadlocks are sealed, right? Do they get very wet?

Thanks again for the effort.  Grin

Yeah that was the second time I had it out since I waterproofed it, so I was still testing it out. Over about an hour there was only maybe three times I had to actually pick it up, it seemed to work out of most spots with a little work. I remember the one part you're talking about, it was real deep ahead and I thought if I could just get it lined it I could bridge over it. After it nearly fell in one time I decided to pass it up  Cool

In that video I was running the stock wheels and tires. I don't think they have foams, they might but I think it's just the heavy compound of the tires. I do have holes drilled in the wheels, and when I got home I had to flush all that out, it was waterlogged pretty bad. On the Bullhole video I had the beadlocks and tires from the Scorpian on it, and it was a mess. I drained them out as well as I could when I got home, and didn't think that it was that bad. A few days later I got the Badland tires I had on order and took them apart - the foams were soaked through. It was more of a mess than I wanted to deal with on a regular basis, so when I mounted the new tires for the WK I didn't use foams or wheel holes. I put some silicone diff lube in the bead of the wheels to hopefully seal it better too. They are a bit soft without foams, but it didn't seem to take in any water.
