It was a really good trip! The group I was with was not into stopping much for pictures so we made good time on the trails. The Cherokees did really well but are pretty light in the rear end and get very tippy on the off-camber descents. We had one rollover and a couple of near misses in some dangerous spots (will get some video up soon!). I lost a bead (aired down to 15psi) on an off-camber section, right next to another rig that had been left overnight that appeared to have had the same thing happen. We swapped the spare w/o even using a jack (the Hi-Lift wouldn't have worked on that slope) by side-winching off the bumper to raise the wheel.Originally Posted by lekmedm
So envious of this it is not even funny.
Time to send off your wheels to OMF and have them switched over to beadlocks....
Looking forward to the videos
