I just returned from a quick trip to Land Cruiser Mountain Park, Jan 6th-8th. It was partly for business, testing prototypes and shooting photos and video for the new website, but there was also plenty of good 4Wheeling, laughs and beers around the campfire. We were there Monday - Wednesday so we pretty much had the park to ourselves.

Here are a few photos from the trip:

Good pictures! and good to see the recovery gear worked well. Saw this on the chief fb page, looking forward to the products being ready! That was some mud you were pushing in front of the car haha.

Kayezy,

They're a bit loud on-road, but other than that they've been great. I primarily use them off-road, so the noise doesn't bother me. Off-road they perform really well (sand, mud, rocks, etc.) and have been very durable (strong sidewalls, minimal chipping, low air pressures, etc.). I would definitely recommend them.

Cheers,
Bill

Cheers for that Bill,

They are on my list once this set of tyres kicks up the bucket.

I paid $95 plus $10 postage for my Mopar boot liner, though this one appears to be a bit more rugged!

Mine is the reversible one with carpet on one side and rubber on the other, with the flap that comes out and protects the rear bumper.

Hi Taprod,

That's a good price. How do you like yours? Do you use the other side very often? What year is your WK2?

I've been very happy with the rubber mat. It's fitted perfectly, so I keep it in there all the time. When it gets dirty after a trip, I pull it out and use the pressure washer to clean it.

Cheers,
Bill
