Here in southwest FL, most places are in $2.90-something range.

Beautiful property and scenery!

But what if they are not mechanics, or are newbies? Or, is this sport only for those somehow born with experience?

I'd also like to hear more about the heat issue. Has anyone had any overheats cause by skids? I am still weighing the pros and cons. Eddie and others brough up some great points about skids making it difficult to work on the Jeeps trailside. Others (on another forum) say you are less likely...

I like the look of 12.5 on 35s or 37s, but the narrow ones do have their place. 11.5 looks unusually narrow, but it is because of what we are accustomed to seeing. The original cool kids had pizza cutters, and they were fairly bad ass cool kids.

We went to a Steak & Shake tonight, and had the their fries, which are cooked in tallow. Dang, they were good!

I am not sure the harness he referred to was for Rausch Creek. Might have been Tellico or somewhere else. We have all seen the videos of the rolled over Jeeps in various places. Some of you have seen it personally. Maybe he is a extra cautious guy. The type who won't even take off his...

Dunno. I can only relay what he has told me. Never gone wheeling with him, and he has never gone off road (or cut trails) with me. He is a friend from when we both were boaters on the Chesapeake before I knew he was into Jeeps / wheeling. I do know he is a bit "crazy" from his street racing...

Okay, why the lol? Are the toughest at Rausch Creek not that tough? Never been there. My buddy said he has done tougher ones. He used to live closer to there, so he went a lot. He also mentioned something called "Tellico" near the Smoky Mountains.

Thanks everyone for the input. Much appreciated!

Not that I know of, but some could be, I suppose. He has a highly modified JK that is a dedicated rock crawler. He trailers it to his wheeling locations. I wouldn't put it past him to do some buggy trails with it. He is a crazy MF'er! LOL! He is in PA, and I know he had done the toughest...

Yeah, those little allen heads don't seem like a good idea. If not smashed, they look like they will fill with packed in dirt making it a pain.

Great point. Lots of little recessed bolts on after-market skids. The factory skids seem to have bigger and fewer bolts, so I assume not a big problem to remove on the trail?

I don't know the accuracy of the difficulty ratings for the Badge of Honor trails, but I know he does some 9's (out of 10). He says he wears a multi-point harness for some tougher ones, as well. He probably drives _over_ the other vehicles at the mall for his mall crawling during Christmas...

Much thanks for the input.

Much thanks for the input.

Thanks. I have heard that they can be difficult to remove and even more difficult to put back on after they get bent up. Much thanks for the input!

Much thanks for the input!

Much thanks for the reply. A good buddy who frequently wheels very hard swears by skids, but it is great to have more input. Much appreciated!
