Re: POLL: Transmissions - Wranglers
I think I paid around $95 each for the LTX M/S version in 30x9.5 inch.
They're great for dry/wet pavement and snow; haven't tested them in
deep mud yet, but the tread is pretty blocky with wide channels, so I'm
sure they'll work fine.
If they don't, then I probably have no business being there to begin
with.
I could have gone either way on the spare. Money was tight and I had a
tough time justifying the purchase of a tire that would probably spend
its entire life just hanging off the back doing nothing. I have a fire
extinguisher hanging off the roll bar doing the same thing, so I
decided what the hell: spend the bucks and do it right. Doing
something half-*** has never suited me in the past, no sense in
starting now.

Re: Let me add this
LOL. I wish!
I thought about getting my guide license when I was out of high school, but it just
didnt work out that way. I used to horse pack every summer out near Hells Canyon
when I was a teenager.
Nope, I was young and stupid and ripped my body up good back then doing powerlifting.
While I never regretted doing it for those 6 or so years, I certainly do regret all
the damage done. This year is the big 4-0 and I am feeling it... actually have been
for years already. Some things just dont ever heal from repeat damages. I quit
lifting when the doc put it this way, "do you want to compete for another couple of
years, or do you want to (hopefully) walk for the rest of your life"?

I thought about getting my guide license when I was out of high school, but it just
didnt work out that way. I used to horse pack every summer out near Hells Canyon
when I was a teenager.
Nope, I was young and stupid and ripped my body up good back then doing powerlifting.
While I never regretted doing it for those 6 or so years, I certainly do regret all
the damage done. This year is the big 4-0 and I am feeling it... actually have been
for years already. Some things just dont ever heal from repeat damages. I quit
lifting when the doc put it this way, "do you want to compete for another couple of
years, or do you want to (hopefully) walk for the rest of your life"?

Re: Let me add this
LOL. I wish!
I thought about getting my guide license when I was out of high school, but it just
didnt work out that way. I used to horse pack every summer out near Hells Canyon
when I was a teenager.
Nope, I was young and stupid and ripped my body up good back then doing powerlifting.
While I never regretted doing it for those 6 or so years, I certainly do regret all
the damage done. This year is the big 4-0 and I am feeling it... actually have been
