Coming from Alaska, you're in for a dissappointment....

 

[manuelxj]

really im also not scared to dint the rig lol plus i am willing to drive a few hours what should i look for ..im gona be geting new tires in two months and was gona get bogger s but since im moving there what kinda tires you recomend?????

 

[OT]

If you don't mind driving several hours, Clayton, Ok. has great difficult trails with BIG rocks.
I wheel MTRs for everything I do (rocks), but lots of guys that I wheel with, run some sort of Swamper/Bogger combo.

 

[manuelxj]

cool how do the truxxas mts do down around that area......??

 

[OT]

Don't know about down south, but those are crap here.
Not deep enough tread and they just don't seem to be very useful around here.
Seem to be a good streety mud tire, though.

 

[manuelxj]

Sounds good to me.
Mind you, I've never wheeled south of Okla. and don't know what the terrain is like down there in southwest Texass, but it's hard to go wrong with a swamper.

 

[manuelxj]

Hey man welcome to Houston. I live about twenty minutes south and work in Galveston. I hear there are some places in east texas (couple of hours away) to play in the red clay and hills, but plan on driving long long distances to get anywhere cool. about 11 hours to big bend. hill country is scenic, but all private land down here. No BLM, etc. Brace yourself for the humidity.
