Great review! Why the tire / wheel change? I’m about to purchase a unit and would like ti know the reasoning?

I just went ahead and spent the money and got a four pack of SC1. ITS expensie! It did look great when i put it on. I ride in some mud. It washed off pretty good but i noticed after washing, it looked just as bad as before i put the sc1 on. Then again, I use the booty juice to wash. It has degreaser in it, so maybe it washed the sc1 off? Idk. Still figuring things out. Im looking for the best and easiest way to wash and look great. I do get my four wheeler looking awesome after riding. Just looking for the best products and taking cost of product into account. I mean the SC1 is pretty pricey!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the ROG. I'm looking at purchasing a 12RK within a month. The one the RV dealer has onsite has the torsion axle, so they are ordering /installing the Overlanding package (Timbren axle, Articulating hitch). I also want to upgrade the wheels/tires to be able to use the 33" tires I removed from my Gladiator, so I need the 17" wheels. My Gladiator has a Metalcloak 3.5" lift and is sitting on 37" Tires, so I'm hoping to get the ROG to sit higher to better match the height of the Gladiator. Thanks again for sharing, this gives me an idea of the ground clearance I will have after my upgrades. Are your rims Vision D's? What back spacing are your wheels?
@mikeoutdoors7692 ай бұрын
That sounds awesome. The timbren suspension is worth it. I’d have to look back at my wheel paperwork. I don’t recall. I did those awhile ago.

@@2MostlyBaldGuysKC honestly the best part about the turbo is being able to just turn up hills quickly and it just builds boost and holds the gear rather than downshifting and reving to the moon. 100% worth it for sand riding.
