Same here. Having driven both similar setups...the tb feels stronger. Either works but neither is optimal.
they've always worked for me.

37's on 24" chrome rims!
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.

On a side note, what do you think of the idea of gathering a list of rides in various areas and their trail rating?
For example, I know you have been on Flagpole Run. I would consider it as a "2" but would be curious about other's thoughts...

You both have been upgraded! Thanks for taking the time to share the trips!
I like it. Although I'm not sure of the best way to implement it. Just a discussion thread per regional trip thread section?

That might work, but then that leads to subjectiveness in the trail ratings. I was thinking something on the www side of the site, but that would take a LOT of admin overhead that I am not sure anyone would want to take on.
Maybe a discussion thread as the source and then once there was consensus on a trail rating it could go on the www side?

I was thinking something along the lines as the hiking upward site, but for offroading. But like you, I am not sure how to implement it...

Trail ready would work for me. Anything to get me out of mall rated. Offroad Rated is going to have to wait until I can remind myself to take more pictures.
