Uwharrie Tuesday 12/11 ride

I went out to Uwharrie with a friend in his 03 Rubicon TJ. We had the whole place to ourselves and actually had some time to take some pictures as we went.
We're modded similarly with 3" lifts, body lift and 315 tires. He's running the Falkens and we were both running at 15 psi or so. I probably could have gone comfortably at 12psi and he really needed to go down to 10psi since he's light enough that he barely had any deflection at 15.
Neither of us is beefed up too much on the underside, so we took it easy. He ran with his rear locked in most of the climbs and I did everything unlocked.

I have no idea why Photobucket won't rotate my pictures properly...


Ebony and Ivory:

nice pics...wish i could get off in the middle of the week and go play!! lol

i think i need the body lift, your rig looks sic, and it seems like those 35's fit alot better with it...

Nice pics, great looking ride!

Very nice pics!

How do the Falken 315's measure in height compared to the Kumho 315's?

The Wildpeaks have 3 ply sidewalls, which is also why they need to be aired down more for deflection.

Man, that just looks nasty. Great shots!

The Falkens are a little shorter at 34.4" vs the Kumho's 34.6"

The Falken's did very well in the rocks and were very impressive for an AT tire! If I weren't in deep mud often, I'd try these on the FJ for my next set, but they simply don't have enough traction in those situations from what I've seen.

I've been very impressed with the Falkens so far. I hate mud, so I'm not concerned about how they do in the deep stuff, but more that they can get me through it when I need to if I don't have a choice. They are excellent in the rocks though. I'm wanting to move up to the 315's, but heard they run short, so curious if these actually look like 35's or 33's.

It's hard to tell. They look very large on a TJ, and they're barely smaller than mine and mine look quite big on an FJ, so I think you'd be okay.

I hate mud as well, but if I'm out on a 50-acre jobsite after a rainy spell, I don't have much of a choice.

Good to know. Definitely love these Falkens so far. Only negative is they are HEAVY. But they're near dead silent on the highway
