I'm looking to buy a set of BFG AT's, 285 75 16's. Maybe we can find a "deal" on two sets.

Brian......Sorry to hear about your tire troubles.

Sometime let me know when you are going or want to go camping/ATVing at Red River. I love that place! There are lots of good places out east too....Alligator Run, Barnwell MT, River Run, Mud Creek, Shiloh Ridge etc. Im always up for an ATV trip.

By red river did you mean Munster? Heard that is good riding up there. I usually go up north of Clarksville or to Sulfur River Trails just south of Clarksville.

Oops....Sorry for the confusion. I thought you were going to BFG KM2s. Or at least considering them.

I am actually shopping tires for my Weekend Warrior. I have just about decided to go to BFGoodrich Commerical LT tires....225/75/16. These tires look to be very heavy duty ......with a much stiffer sidewall than my current 15'' wheel/tires.

and put on a new set of black Unique Series 297 Rims... http://www.uniquewheel.com/catalog_pg2.html

Do yall think the black would look ok on the trailer or should I stick with chrome? Any input on these tires or wheels? TIA

IM sure Brian is refering to Muenster. That where I was referring too. Awesome place to ride. About 2500 acres of all kinds of woods, trails, fields, sand pits, water crossings etc.

I have never been to Sulfer River Trails. Pretty nice? Places to camp?

It is just now fixing to reopen I think. They shut it down for about two years because of a pipe line that came through the area and was put on the property. Something bout needing to let the soil settle before people rode over the pipe. It was about 2000 acres with lots of trail, big mud pit, mud drag pit and a small track for the bikes and racers. Think it was 15 for the weekend f-s and that included camping. The only problem was when it rained the trails would get so bad you HAD to have a good 4x4 wheeler to get down them because it is that black clay.

Any of you guys ever gone riding in Mena Ark. The riding is great. Twist and turns up through the mountains. At some points you are way up and riding right on the edge of the cliffs. If anyone decides to go up there I can give you the name of the place we camped. It was right down from the park and the guy that runs it was really cool.

I've been there. I stayed at a place called Shadow Mountain once. Another time was at Sugar Creek. Several other times we just boondocked in the woods in the Ouachita National Forest outside of Albert Pike. I have a Weekend Warrior Toyhauler. We have also ridden many of the county roads around there...it's legal. And of course gone to Wolfpen Gap trails in the Ouachita National Forest. Beautiful country. Little Missouri Falls is awesome!
