How are the trails? Any parts that I will have trouble with ground clearance with my EPS Trail? Spend last night replacing a driver side a-arm. Hit a boulder in middle of trail that I did not see. Had to beat the hell out of the mounting bracket to get new one in. It's not pretty but pivot points are fine.
I did the Virginia City Ride earlier this year and the Silver Strike pre-ride with Pipelayer before the lift with the Bandit shocks. No damage to my Trail. Not to say it couldn't happen. Just have to pay attention and pick the line that works best for you.Quote:

I always carry one, but it does add a lot of excess weight. Where we're going is pretty rocky for about half of the loop.

Just installed my radio and intercom today, this coming drive pushed me over the edge to order. I didn't have one for VC and i figured it'd be nice to hear what's going on. What channel do you use? I got the radio from Rugged so it has all their pre-programmed channels.
Guess I could bring a spare, but never have in the last twelve thousand or so milesQuote:

Besides that, if you have any trouble, there will be so many rigs, I'm sure someone will loan you what you need to get back. [emoji106]Quote:

pros and cons with everything it seems
Crossing my fingers really want to venture out into new areas and meet everyone. Trying to decide which tires would be best for the type of terrain we have here in nevada.
Smith Valley here. I bought Dirt Commander 27x9x12 for all four with a spare on the stock wheels. I like and have Big Horn's on a quad, but their sidewalls aren't as stout as the 8-ply DC's.Quote:

IMHO I don't think that the bighorns are a good tire for our area they have to wide of a tread pattern,which makes the easy to puncture with the train we ride in. I am on me second set of the GBC mongrels and have had good luck with them. But this is what has been working for me.

I went with the Dirt Commanders RM price matched Discount tire plus still received RM Cash. I wanted to go with Tensor Regulators but think I'll need new clutch to keep performance and I'm still in warranty until August. Add me to the list!

I went with the Tensor Regulators 28x10x14 and just got my clutch kit from SLP hoping this week end i can install them Attachment 1698Attachment 1699
I plan on going to a Tensor 28 or 30 x10x14 on a 5+2 wheel for my turbo. I hadn't considered needing a mod to the clutch to run them, I don't believe they are that much heavier than the big horns are they?
The Tensors are 38 lbs plus 2 inches taller The DC 27/9-12 are 25 lbs and an inch taller than my stock PXT's
Switched to 12" rims on your XPT? Would you mind detailing why? I see so many go to a 15" but never down to a 12. New to all this and trying to decide which way i'd like to go.
