$20 for a new center cap or just get a spin free hub kit so I won't need center caps?
How did your Torq locker do?
I’m hoping to get out on some trails in the next few weeks. Can’t wait to see what kind of difference it makes.Awesome! I was walking right up stuff that I would have struggled on before. I only used my rear locker once, and I turned it on before attempting so I don't even know that I would have needed it.
It actually put me in kind of a weird spot with trail difficulty ratings. I had zero traction issues all day...what ended up challenging me was tight corners (made worse with the nsg370 reverse issue) and off camber sketchiness. I'm used to lack of traction and ground clearance stopping me before those things become apparent. But since I've done any real wheeling, I've gone from 32s to 35s, added the torq in front, a swayloc, and a hand throttle.

3b offroad in Eureka Springs, AR. First time I've ever wheeled in an offroad Park (vs the public land I used in Colorado) so I don't really know how it compares to other stuff in the region...but it's way different than I'm used to, that's for sure. Even though most wheeling in Colorado is in national forest, it doesn't have the tight woods feeling that this did. I've never had to look at standing trees as obstacles. A lot of the Colorado stuff started as mining roads so it was still trying to get from A to B, whereas this seems more like they're just trying to cram as many trail miles as they can into 150 acres of the Ozarks. If that's just how wheeling is east of I-25, I'll adjust, but it had a very "small" feel to it like I was on trails cut for a SxS. I didn't even touch any of the stuff they called "extreme" because it all looked like driving straight up a black diamond ski run and I'm not really feeling like tumbling backward 100 feet end over end in my LJ.Where were you wheeling?

That is Arkansas. I prefer wheeling in the United States myself.3b offroad in Eureka Springs, AR.
