    i cant pass smog

    i have a first gen 4x4 eddie bauer explorer and i have done a few modifications to it. i probably messed up by getting a cam that was too radical. i live in CA so the laws are even more restricting as to what i can do to my car. i was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on how to get this...

    off-roading tires

    thanks maniak, that was very helpful. i hope to hit glamis as well just to help get a feel for my suv before i take it hunting. the high desert where i go is pretty unpredictable during the winter(sometimes there is ice, snow, water, mud, etc. hence the need for a good tire). i appreciate the...

    off-roading tires

    ok i will elaborate...im making this explorer my hunting rig and it will be going through mud, snow(every now and then), and most of the time it will just be on rocky dirt roads. i guess this would describe an all-terrain tire...the size i need is 235/75r15. basically i want a dependable tire...
