I didn't think I got to meet @Normanator22 or @Smitty335. Just to much mad chaos keeping up with everyone's agenda. I had a awesome ride with @Bastardchild @knuckledeep @Backwoods and several others on friday. Then met up with @trigger @Chooglin @Choogsbro @Cavediver and others on saturday before rain set in! I second the dual takeover rides....one spring, one fall

yeah for sure. rain didn't amount to a whole lot. radar made it look a lot worse than it was. It definitely would have made easy trails interesting and moderate trails diff lock only! :D

I haven't done a thorough cleaning and inspection yet but as far as a list of add ons or upgrades, I'm good and don't plan to change a thing. After 3 yrs of continuously spending time and money I think it's finally done. ;)
Same here. But tires are going to be replaced, probably with some more ITP's, haven't had a flat since I bought them.

Something that I noticed a while back and was made even clearer at the Takeover is that the 9" tires are far more likely to see wheel damage. Had a bent lip when I rode the stock wheels, it was in the front. Noticed over the winter that I had a decent gouge in these ITP's, again in the front. @100Acre had just put 9's on all 4 going into RRB and beat the hell out of those rims. Granted he shredded the tires as well lol, but wonder how much wheel damage he saw when he had 11's on the back?
I put 11's on the front this year and they performed okay, doesn't cut into turns as well as before. Little softer ride but felt too soft in some situations. In other situations, felt like the front was pulling the rear and that was BA. I'm going to try more psi and see how that feels.
Just an observation, FWIW.

My brand new wheels are very scratched/dinged up after Takeover... that’s the 9” in the front

My ITP RIMS were beat to shiite, especially in the front. Bring a hammer.
