The roads are not that great out here. I just had a conversation about that with a friend from England. She says they don't tolerate bad roads out there. I do plan on rolling like this year round. We'll see how it goes.

Not yet sir. Im working on getting the right tires for these then I have to do a bit of research on a good body shop that can fab up some radius fender flares. I'll definitely keep everyone posted.
