Oooooooow Baaaaaby

Okay, I didn't want to steal "System's" thread so I figure I'd start my own.

Previously, our main off-roading was done with ATV's cause that was the best option we had for the area we were in. Now we're in an area where 4x4 vehicles are the big thing.

Well, I asked about tires and we (hubby) decided on Super Swamper TSL's. They arrived today and I gotta tell you, they look much better in person than they do in the pictures the Tire places show you (both on & off line). I'm drooling to go out riding now - that's the oooooow baaaaaby part.

I'm sure I'm gonna have many front & rear questions in the future, but right now, who gives a Hoot ! ! ! ! We're having way too much fun and besides, when it breaks down, I know you guys will be there for me.

Hey, I guess this makes me a "Newbie"............ Be kind to me.

Hey, you can't take one moment of extreme excitement and carve it in stone.

Someone has to remember that I'm a "SuperMod" even if it isn't me.

It ended up being a toss up between the Boggers and the TSL's. TSL's won only because of the longivity of them as opposed to the Boggers.

Also, for all of you that have that TSL itching disease, I don't think it has anything to do with the tires, it has to do with "going" in the woods - if you know what I mean. I've already had to paint hubby with nail polish several times.

I think you made a great choice with the swampers

Boggers are great, but not when you drive it on road, too.

But I thought that was how 9 out of 10 marriages happened.





That's awesome about the tires Carlene. TSL's are pretty wicked cool. When I picked mine up I looked like the Enzyte guy for the rest of the weekend. Now I just need to get my junk together so I can use them for something other than pavement pounding.

Nah, it's how they end, not happen. The part about 'carving in stone' was the grave marker.
