Had a great day on the trail today, first time out with the new coil overs... http://www.explorerforum.com/layover
Until we screwed around near the end:

I was purposely trying off camber stuff we drove over a boulder with the front tire put the rear tire on it, the front right slide in some loose rock picking up the left rear and over we went...
Oh well... that's the way the Pumpkin Smashes:rasta:

Bummer, we ran that last night. That is a fun little trail, and I know right where you rolled.

Well you wheel enough it's going to happen.
I'm not much of a Ford guy but I'm pretty impressed with your rig. Hella built up. Hope it didn't bash it up too bad.

Got lucky and the damage was confined to the passenger door. Just have to pull the dents out enough so the window will roll up and all will be good :D

Nice pics you got there. I was just wondering that what size tyres you use and what has been the tyre pressure during the time when pics were taken. Looks pretty low or is it just all weight on one tyre?

35x15.50 Swamper SXs... Yeah that one shot really shows the tire had slipped sideways ALOT from the low pressure.

I should have shot the other side as well so you could see the tire pulled taught against the beadlocks. I'm pretty darn sure if the locks weren't there it would have pulled off the bead. The tire was pulled in so much the beadlock was practically on the ground...
I was looking through my other shots at full resolution and noticed it happened in other places on the trail too.

I definatley think 6psi is too low in this truck. It weighs over 6k.
Next time out I'm going to start at 10psi and I'll see how well they flex.
