**JakeP** · 12-07-2009, 03:43 PM

Ya, I borrowed them for the weekend to compare them to my desert trak's. Even with one backward, they worked better.

Try running them both backwards. See how they do.

**JakeP** · 12-07-2009, 03:53 PM

Well, the increased traction from them was better than the desert trak's, so some more would be better. I'm looking for some paddles now.

**only1mikey** · 12-07-2009, 03:57 PM

Increased traction will kill top end speed. You need to find that correct balance of traction, float, and wheel speed.

Crazy if there the ones I gave jeff those things were bad they were made from some tires off a Honda civic and had cracks all over them. The Mexican at the tire shop said to use them like that because I didn't have posi

Just converted my bench seats into buckets and installed an explorer center console... still need to re-cover the arm rest. I'm thinking carbon fiber style fabric. Also, my sister put the video clips together with music. Pops posted it on youtube. (see below)

**96F1Ford** · 12-15-2009, 05:44 PM

Cool video. Thats why my jeep is staying 4x4. No sinking mine

We'll have to meet up in glamis sometime. My dad wants to go out with more jeeps

**Perkio** · 12-18-2009, 01:21 PM

Are you coming out for Crhistmas or New Years? I'm leaving today or tomorrow the 18th or 19th and staying until the evening of the 2nd 2010.

I like jeeps, but don't have much need for 4wd in the sand!

Rangers aren't bad either at least when they're not stuck on the back of my tow strap pulling me down!

Yep, me and dad (perkio) will be off the end of the loop. Only1mikey is probably going to be camping next to us with his girlfriend and sober Jon. Maybe DW, E, and you, Pahl?
