Even better then!

Are you saying you want the less ply? You know I'm slow

No... I looked them up earlier and saw 6ply... apparently I was looking at the wrong tire.

I think the Terra hooks will be great unless you plan to dive off into some mud holes.

Regardless of how much you come in with, you'll have a list of sh** you want afterward.

Skid is #1. Stock bighorn [HASHTAG]#18psi[/HASHTAG]. Winch is convenient. But dont worry too much. Plenty of stock rigs went everywhere there

Skid yes.. It’s like a condom! You might not need it... but is generally waaaay too late when you realize you should have had protection! Tires are a good idea but not something that will ruin a trip.

Lack of a good 1/2” uhmw skid plate could lead to a ruined trip. A flat is an inconvenience but a rock through your oil pan or the wrong hit to the sub trans will fubar your weekend. It all depends on the type of riding YOU like to do. But the reality is maybe you venture down the wrong trail by accident and come to a spot you wouldn’t normally ride but that’s your only option. Sometimes s*** just happens and I prefer to be prepared for the what if. Most of rrb isn’t bad... if you stick to those trails you’ll probably be fine. But what if you get there and don’t want to stick to those trails?

And as a side note... and generally speaking, I may weigh on the side of caution for new folks because those that say, “awwwwa, you’ll be fine”. Typically are in bed and aren’t the ones that are fixing and hauling rigs back to camp at 3am!!!

SKID/EXTRA TIE RODS!!
WINCH
TIRES

Before lights, shiny wheels and bulls*** doodads, these are top things in order new folks should plan to do/have to help improve their riding experience. You might make 100 trips just fine on a stock machine... but eventually one of those items you’re going to wish you had!

JTW Did I see somthing about factory break lines being a weak spot?

There has been a few factory brake line failures in extreme situations. The SS brake lines give a LOT better peddle feel when holding back on downhill situations.
The lines @jak9922 builds will solve that problem and give piece of mind when going up or down those rough teails.

I have a Pioneer Pox sign somewhere also, and the 'bumpy road' one from the 2018 Takeover.
Hope there is another good one coming in 2020, but I do wonder why he dose them every other year.

There's an entire thread with radio info, here's a link

Let's talk radios again... Pioneer Takeover

I have the ModQuad skid and have no issues with it other than the self-tapping screws suck. You will have to drill more holes in it for drainage as well since there are none other than drain holes for servicing the fluids.
