I was proud.
Someone print this and I better see it hanging in a LR dealership soon.

I found myself thinking about AT tires to replace my streets but with a hidden winch added and my local terrain(North FL) not at all challenging i'm going to leave it stock for awhile. If I start doing upgrades I wont be able to find a challenge locally.

I made a video but not sure if its good enough to post. Half tackling hills like pictured and an after ride short review.

Post it!!!

If the terrain is not challenging, why did you add a winch? Seems to me tires should be added WAY ahead of a winch.

I ride alone almost always so recovery gear is more important to me at the moment. I also bought a harbor freight winch for 249.99, a universal winch mount for $50 and bolted it all up behind the bumper. its not pic ready yet as I have to mount my fairlead(hate the rollers) but i'll post it up.

Here's the video I kept it simple in editing so it may be boring.

Cool video, thanks for sharing. What broke when the door slammed? Were you saying that the window came off its track? I still think you should upgrade tires. If you think things will be too boring, go in the winter when it's really muddy!

Truck was off camber and when getting back in the door slammed HARD and the window came off the tracks. Upon inspection both plastic clips broke.

I couldn't find the clips online and apparently they want you to buy a whole new regulator ..

Screw that. So I removed both halves and used JB weld to fix them and reinstalled. Worked great and very strong.


I off road when the mood strikes and a tire upgrade isn't necessary since I bought new 18's with these tires(in great shape).. I'm moving the Colorado and will upgrade tires before I move.. Its going to get done just moved down the list a bit for now.

I spend alot of time offroad between 2 dual sport bikes and my LR3..
