A call to all you Off-Road guys...
I started putting together an "OFF-ROAD GUIDE" in that section a couple months ago. Figured I'd do a couple write ups then let everyone else run with it. As soon as I stopped, IT DIED!
https://dodgeforum.com/forum/off-road...oad-guide.html
How about a few of you guys writing a paragraph or two for me to post up. Read the few I've done and you'll kinda see what I'm looking to do. Can be anything pertaining to 4x4's. From "tire reviews" to "how to install a snorkel kit". I've tried a couple times to get some life into the "Off-Road" section. I'd like to see some useful information in there and increase the traffic a little.
The thread in the "Off Road" section is locked, it's to be strictly an information source and we don't want it cluttered with posts like "nice pic, dude". But if you post your articles under this thread, either I or another mod will move it into the guide.
I put a call out the other day in the 3rd gen section, and a few have done some good write-ups, but you know those guys, their trucks are still too new, and they won't do any serious 'wheeling.
I know where to come for the real "Off Road" guys.
Any help would be appreciated...

Tire Review
Maxxis Bighorn
For anyone who wants a tire that has some serious off-road capability but dont have really deep pockets for superswampers or other expensive alternatives, the Maxxis Bighorn is a great choice, I got it thinking that I would get it for the time being until I could get a better mud terrain again, but to be honest with you, I dont think I will ever buy another mud terrain beside the bighorn unless of course I go to a size they dont have, It has been even more capable than the highly expensive Toyo Mud terrains I previously had, and the avon/dean mud terrains also, but 100's of dollars cheaper, the only downside between the bighorn and the toyo is how hard it is and how long it lasts on pavement, it is truly a mud terrain, not like the mud terrains such as the toyos which are meant to last on the road also, if you really want to get around in the mud I highly recommend getting this tire, its lugs clean out very easily and keeps traction very well in the mud, I was completely stopped in a hole and thought I wouldnt be able to drive out, but the tire cleaned itself out so well that it caught traction and pulled me back out of the hole beyond all expectations.
On a scale of 1-10 I would rate the bighorn at a 9, it is an excellent tire and I would bet anyone who has used it would highly agree with me.

I will post some articles for you. I have been in the off-road world for a long time. It is a hobby for me, but it has taken off. I compete in off-road competitions and events all over the western US. I also am a Judge and course designer for FourWheeler Magazine and Four Wheeler TV. I judge and layout the courses for the Top Truck Challenge which is ran in the magazine and on FourWeeler TV. PM me for what kind of posts, or articles you are looking for. I would love to help out.
Thanks,
Stan
