    I agree with all of the previous answers. One thing to add is, learn the terrain and areas that you're going to. It's really easy to end up in places that you really have no business being in, just because you "wanted to push a little bit farther". Happens to most, even those of us in 4x4's. Pay...

    Bestop supertop or softopper? Which would you pick

    Not familiar with the Bestop unit, in person, but, I can say that the fit and overall quality of the Softopper is excellent. I prefer the profile of the Softopper over the Bestop......seems a little tighter, IMO.

    Are steelies obsolete?

    I like Black Rhino's, I really dig the look of the Fifteen52 Analogs. Wheels are so far down the list, though, I have time to contemplate. Maybe a spare set of blocky, grimy 35s on aftermarkets for the shitshow, and a regular set of 33's on OEM's for dd'ing...........because, what bills???

    Are steelies obsolete?

    Coming from the old school, I have my own opinion about steel wheels for off road use. I was always taught that you should be able to fix your junk on the trail, if need be. This included banging out bent wheels with a hammer then blasting the bead with starter fluid (i've had to do it) to...
