SOL's 150 shorty SX.

Sol have you done much muddy driving with the shorty? Just wondering how the Pirellis cope since I have the same but haven't ventured into too much that is nasty. They are great for sand and hard packed fire trails including the lumpy stuff but I have my doubts about anything more.

bit of weed catching there Sol

Derek yep had to go scrub to find the mud. Was having fun.

Mjrandom, No the only mud has been on trails only a few inches deep with a solid base below. Although they are good tires I would not do any serious mud/boggy type work. Am considering going to BF Goodrich allterrains for the next set. Unless anyone comes up with a game changing deal.

Also a big thanks to AMTS for the bash plates. They copped a bit of a hammering and no gouging or marking. Great product.

Have you powder coated the bashplates yet?

Sol I am in a bit of a quandary too. I have 4 steel 120 GX rims with BFG A/Ts that I use on the trailer and had as an extra spare on the 120. Obviously not legal to run on the 150 so whether to get some legal steelies and fit play tyres and run ex Rodeo 16s on the trailer or just get more GXL rims and be done with it. I figure the Pirellis will clog up quickly in mud but I don't often do muddy trails.

AMTS, Mate not yet. Started a full time job this week so hopefully will have the funds to get it done.
Thanks again for letting me take them. They really saved the sump.

Mate for me that would come down to two things. Finances can you afford two sets of wheels? do you do enough road KM's to justify a second set of tyres & wheels?

Next on the mod trail is shovel and antenna holder behind the Traxrax.
Now some where to put the long antenna when traveling and need to take it off.

VeeZeeSS, Mate no wind noise at all. Even with the extra's fitted. I drive at 100kmh everyday and have not noticed.
I would highly recommend them.
