Alright guys. My two friends with lifted Jeeps want to go on a trip to an offroad park in Pennsylvania. Now, I don't EVER expect to get my Ex as capable as their jeeps without lifting it, but at the same time I do want to do some light wheeling with it and enjoy some of the fun too. Here are my thoughts
2nd set of rims (already got a lead on some) and put 265/75R16 mud tires on them. (cheap azz mud tires are fine as they will only be on the truck when I am wheeling which isn't often/ever. This will be the hardest part to find used If I even can. I am not gonna buy brand new mud tires for my uses..
Regardless.
Remove the front air dam temporally.
I have tow hooks in case I need a tow
I have a CB (some places require one)
What else?
Like I said I don't want or need to lift it. I just want to make it as capable as possible just to have a little fun. I don't need to hit the trails they are gonna go on.
Thanks guys.
This is my Ex towing my one friends jeep cause..well..its a jeep lol.
If it weren't for towing my truck would be jacked up too probably...but I don't want to have big tires, lift, and tow all on 3.55s and a 5r55 trans. Thats asking for trouble.
