Penrose trip report

Post by trei75bronco »

Went and ran penrose on sunday and the stickies work amazing. I had them at 12 psi then 7 and they hooked up much better a 7-8.

Dropped in liberty and out patriot
No one broke and it was fun

I'm conflicted because she does almost every thing I want her to do but not quite. I want to be able to do the exit on these trails or other stuff that needs about 8" more wheelbase

You got the skilz - just stretch it, narrow it and you'd have what you want, and it'll still be a bronco!

I agree with JD. You already have a capable truck and skills to make it into what you want. It's not like you are cutting up a pristine uncut survivor to build a crawler out of.
