This page is in celebration of finally adding the new meats, 235/75 X 15s onto the Sportage and getting it out into some real wilderness this weekend. Well as real as it gets in farm country anyway.

We found The Cliffs in northern IL, less than two hours from the city.

These are basically the before pictures of what is yet to come with the Sporty. I picked it up cuz it's nimble and sure-footed in tight-places and snow/ice, all of which we have in abundance here in Chicago, but am really impressed with how well it plods along creek beds and mudholes. The new tires are the first visible mod, a lift and new bumpers are sure to follow now.
