We will be at crossbar this weekend. I am hoping the 15" beadlocks with 32" BFG km3 get here today. I need more clearance to get up the falls. I make it but I need that extra 2 inches or inch if the factory tires were actually 30" instead of 28.5".

Top of Rockface we did the middle not the double black line. Gotta get the bfgs worn in a little.
Oh for very sure
. Greater the capability, harder the stuck. More snow than off-road through these. Here’s the old family Sequoia that my son is now driving and that just clocked 350K on the odometer. He’s long traveling the front suspension and has it on 37’s. No lockers yet.
Big wide rigs are harder to flop.
My other son on this trip in his 3rd gen 4Runner on 35’s.

I got to get out today at crossbar with my beautiful wife. I have tons of gopro footage to go through. For anyone thinking about tires for their sxs. My first trip on the 32" BFG KM3 utv/truck tire. Wow! They preformed excellent in our loose rock and on the big rocks. For sh!ts and giggles, I did Deadmans slide in 2 wheel drive. A guy behind us in a x3 xrc with 30" libertys had a hard time with 4x4 smart lok'd and rock crawl mode. Impressed with the traction and the extra almost 2" of clearance. The set that came off were 30" but only measured 28.5 with full pressure. The bfg are true to size. They also weight less than my 30s.
KM3 is a good tire. BFG’s run small in the larger truck sizes, they are a good 3/4” less in say a 37” than many others. It’s odd in this day where everybody is pushing larger tire sizes, but buying a 37” BFG is a good way to get a “big” 35” tire. Maybe they’re deciding to get true to size
That looks like fun the utv market has changed fourwheeling so much. The cool thing is how much good gulch trails have gotten dug out - there’s obstacles that were pretty much flat trail and they continue to grow. As long as everybody stays on the trail, it makes for a lot more fun. Those pics I posted above from Wheeler Lake (the other side of Hoosier Pass from Breckenridge) are a perfect example of a trail that used to be a 5 rating and is now probably a 7. Great fun for a group of mixed ability.

The true to size is what I focused on a lot. Mav x3 do not have the clearance of a rzr . I ride with a bunch of Rzr's and they try to exploit that clearance issue (chevy/ford crowd) . I go everywhere they and I only had trouble one time, where I was literally balanced on the frame 15 feet in the air with a decent slope on both sides. I had to unbuckle and hug the steering wheel to get a front tire to touch the rock and then I got it tilted to go down. Right then and there is when I started looking for 32". We ride a lot of stuff like you pictured above, its just a lot tighter with all the trees, so there are not a lot of photo ops. We had one time yesterday that I had drivers tires in a ditch on a cambered corner through trees on the side of a slope. My wife was freaking out cause we were about to tilt over. Just a little turn to driver and we flopped back down.KM3 is a good tire. BFG’s run small in the larger truck sizes, they are a good 3/4” less in say a 37” than many others.

I told my wife she is ballast. It's a joke but sometimes not really.

I thought about that once. Then the thought that she would have crawled over me to rip my face off. We would have certainly flipped.

We have been doing Dunes over the last month or so. No skiing this weekend, so my son and I are going to the dunes this weekend as well. We also got the tune installed, Whalen tuned. I hit a gps speed of 82 in the sand on the drag strip. This is my son's 74 mph run.
