Getting Ready For Rocks
#1
I am about to go on a 2 day trail tour in the rocks of Northern Ontario and was wondering if any of you have preferred setups for riding the rocks!
Like air pressure settings, what to carry in case of a flat, type of slime to use, etc. Any and all info is appreciated!

Don't know how effective slime is for rock-induced tire damage; pinched sidewalls between rocks and rims--I'd suggest a good tubeless tire repair kit, and source of air--12-volt compressor/fix-a-flat/C02 cartridges.
I'd air up the tires to factory-recommended pressures (4-5 psi); lower, you're putting the tires at risk; higher, you'll be beat to death. I think softest spring pre-load is the way to go; others think hardest is best--experiment, and choose for yourself.
If you want rocks, we've plenty to spare at Tasker's Gap Off-Road Vehicle Area, George Washington National Forest.

Kodiak2000,
Some of our trails are boney and I found the recommended 3.6 PSI seems to work well for me and my 2000 Kodiak. I found that whenever I inflate over 4 PSI, I really feel the rocks and the lower pressure climbs the rocky uphills better since the Kodiak front end seems faily light. Also need the plug kits and a 12 V compressor ($10 bucks @ Walmart)
