    Sierra Foothills Overlanders Death Valley Trip 2018 - 11/01/2018

    This was such a great trip. My sons and I had an awesome time. The trip included such a variety of obstacles, differing sceneries, and even a campfire ghost story.

    Recovery brand(s)

    Need assistance with picking lift/tires

    Hey CaliRN, I hope your having fun with your Jeep. I have to 2nd (or third) the general grabbers x3, that is what I run on my daily driver in 35s. They are quieter than other meaty treads, and have plenty of grip for 4wheeling. I try and get out to Prairie city once a month if I can, and so...
