@rkymtnflyfisher, did you chip out all the old seam sealer or just lay the stuff down on the old stuff? I've been procrastinating mainly because I'm not a paint/body guy. Most my sealer is flaked out anyway.

I picked all of the old sealer out with a small 90 pick. It was tedious.

Fish pics or it didn’t happen…

If you show me yours I'll show you mine.

Stuck a big piece of metal through my tire coming back from a trailhead today.


No camping trip this weekend now.

I also installed an adapter to allow me to run both the factory oil pressure gauge and the Autometer oil pressure gauge.

First time the OEM gauge has worked in about 7 years now.

I just got in town today and was chatting with my sister about you. Showed her photos of your cruiser and she’s seen you around. Bummer you killed a tire.

Hit me up if you want to grab a beer, Monday I'll be out and about in Hamilton probably.
I have some maintenance to do to my truck and some firewood to split but I should be out on a trail run Monday.

Do you have a part number or a supplier for the adapter you used?

At least you were due for tires anyway.

What’s your next tire choice? I haven’t seen the Maxxis available here. Seeing you ran a set full life would you purchase again?

Next tire choice is more than likely going to be BFG KO2s in a 33x10.5. They are severe snow rated. I've been running them on my Dodge for a while and my Tahoe, both without a complaint.

The Maxxis Razrs weren't really a good choice for the winters here, while they might be a good choice for our brethren down south that cook whole hogs, use vinegar based sauces, and holler "Roll Tide and Go Dawgs", those tires SUCK out here in the winter. I've spun my 40 in a circle a time or two on snowpacked roads.

My own fault for not getting a winter rated tire.

That's unfortunate, but can be repaired. I purchased a set last year and have about 6k on them. I'm curious how many miles you have on yours.

Maybe 20K


I was planning to get new tires before winter anyway.

I started to comment on those same southern brethren but as I began my post I remembered I live in Arkansas, home of the razorbacks. To avoid any further embarrassment I decided it best to just say “roll tide” and “ go dawgs”

Well I'm originally from Oklahoma, so I probably can't say much!

I didn’t figure the razr did well in winters up there.

I’d be willing to bet the life span of the BFG will be double or more. The KO2 is just a damn good tire.

Ha me too. Norman for my first 23 years.

Haha well this is great! I’m from Georgia, so Go DAWGS! and oddly enough, I live in Oklahoma now.

We run the KO2 tires o the work trucks and get them siped. Damn fine tire for ice and snow.

No comment on the southern gents.
