When you take it out, you should tie some fishing line to it and have the pole ready. Then you can reel it in if you need to.

In Concept, a great idea. Just make sure to run in a straight line so you dont wrap the line around any part of the truck. It would suck to have to cut that crap outta the wheel hubs and driveshaft.

if you put a skid plate that covered the entire bottom of the truck except the wheels and got going top speed on land and run into the water, you would'nt have to do anything with the tires or wheels. it would be like a hydroplane or something.

the valve placement is not very good, it will get in the way and make for a very off balance tire.

I've been watching this thread for awhile too. I think he gave up after the repetitive hole patching in the soft canyons trying to keep the air in.
