Informal trail ride. Western NC

I have Aussie Lockers front and rear. So, if I was pushing the skinny pedal, they were locked. My average speed for the whole road was 2mph.

I ran in 4-lo with the front hubs unlocked until I got to that long, rutted mud hole. Then I locked the hubs and ran 4x4 until maybe the last mile, when I unlocked the hubs again. There were a few places that were off-camber on large rocks that made me feel like I could be close to sliding off the trail if not careful. I felt better with the front pulling in those places.

I'm currently on new BFG MT's. Had the front at 14psi and rear at 12psi. Only slippage I ever felt was one time I was trying to stay out of some ruts and the rear slipped in.

The new KM3 or KM2? If KM3, how do you like them?

Km3. Love 'em. Haven't had them in sand or snow yet. Rocks, dirt and mud = no problem. Even self-cleaning in our red clay here in the Carolinas.
