    haha thanks guys, yeah the issues I had there was with Glacial Silt in the differentials and wheel bearings, not bad just squeaky.

    I will look into those skids ZEUS

    I wanted a snorkel but mostly for getting clean air above the dust in convoy situations. I don't cross water unless I must, and for that just having a snorkel would not be enough.

    My mantra is fast and light, all of my camping stuff is backpacking and the mods have been lightweight. General AT2's were the closest to stock weight AT tires I could find, i think the inherent reliability of the older 4x4's was that they weighed very little.

    Yeah, that's the build angle I am taking with my gen 1 Trooper. After I am done with outfitting the vehicle itself, I will be working on collecting as much light-weight camping gear as possible.

    The General Grabber AT2s are nice tires. I have them on both my VX and Trooper now and so far I really like them. I don't think I will ever buy BFG again.

    If you ever pass through Reno on your journeys, hit me up.
