Last weekend took the XJ out for pretty much it's maiden voyage since having the lift done and new gears D-44 and stuff. Rig did well, I was pretty happy with it BUT still needed some serious fender trimming etc.

While on the trail I ripped the sidewall out of one BFG 35x12.5X15 and puntured another sidewall. Had 1 spare and was able to jam a couple of plugs into the punctured one and limp on back home. (Could be a Jimmy Buffett song :rolleyes: ).

Anyhow, found a place on line and got a good price on some Super Swamper TSL's 8 ply construction (33X12.5X15). Got a no questions asked warranty for $100.00 which covers all 4 tires.

Anyhow, got the new Super Swamper 33 X 12.5 X 15's Friday and had time to get them on the rig.

I linked directly to the pix but they came out huge. This is where they are if you want to take a look.

cool! Now your dying to get them on some trails, right? I'll be out of town for a few weeks but returning Sept 8th or there abouts... lets hit some trails in late sept. no more monsoon and much cooler weather. I punctured the sidewall of one of my MTRs just a week or so ago. I tried to have a shop patch them but they said they were too far gone. Swampers are tough tires, you shouldnt have any problems with them.
