Two Geeks and a Bumper



















Beno swung by on his way through to Albu, we slapped the bumper on in about 7.5 minutes. Couldn't have done it without him- literally, it's about 200 lbs. Have a safe trip man!

Nice. Looks like you covered up your SROR sticker though.

It was surprisingly cold that evening. Otherwise he wrenched sockless.

Your bumpers rock.

How do you like your Destination M/Ts? I have had my Dueler M/Ts for about 5 years and they have been great on and off road. They are essentially the same tire though the Dueler M/Ts are discontinued in most or all sizes. I would consider buying a 2nd set if they came in a size larger than 33". Are yours 33"/285's? Onur's look quite a bit bigger. Is he running 35"s?

Onur is on 35's, yes. And, yes, mine are the 285/75's. I really like them. I would like to go bigger and narrower though, if I had my choices. I think a 35x10.5 would be about perfect. Those tires are heavy- and have survived quite a bit of sidewall rash, and the lugs are pretty cut up- but they are still really good in just about everything. Not so great in the snow, they do OK, but not great.

Onur!

You continue to pay it forward, bud! You're a true asset to our board!

And echoing a couple of comments on your rig, those dents add just the right amount of character.

Drive carefully...arrive and start your new gig safe and sound!
