Has anyone seen these in action off-road? i.e. slamming onto s rock and protecting the body of the vehicle without failure. Used them as a lift point?

I would think if you want real protection you would have to go with rock sliders that attach to your frame. These just attach to the body and I don't know how much protection they would offer from boulders and such. They would help some I'm sure but go with true rock sliders if you are into heavy 4X4ing.

I believe they bolt to the body & not the frame so I'm not sure how well suited they would be for the rugged stuff.

They rest on the roof. I'm not too worried though. I figure if I keep it within the weight limit, it shouldn't do damage. The weight is distributed among 4 points over the frame. 2014 patriot

Sorry I do not know I use mine for off road only. I have seen them in some replacement bumpers but don't know the way they used.

I've got them on an old Trek Session 7 dual sus, heavy and plush. They make pavement riding so much easier and safer, highly recommended unless you're doing fast off road stuff. The reflective strip is an added bonus.

You can drive over them without damage initially. I would not recommend it on a constant basis. These are plastic and would crack and be destroyed if runover repeatedly.

Hi, thanks for your inquiry. As it states in the listing " OFF ROAD USE". However you can use them, but please be aware that they might not comply with your local laws. Please check with your jurisdiction and make your choice accordingly. "

I have never been "off road" with mine, but I have had to ride through some areas where the road had been torn up for repairs. I did have to go through some short places where the road saw torn up and based on this I would not recommend this scooter for regular off road use. I think you would want something with bigger wheels for that sort of riding.

I use a rock lying around because I take them backpacking and won't carry any extra weight like a hammer or mallet. These replace the simple bent aluminum ones they ship with the tent. Those I throw away because they bend easily. I whack MSR stakes with a rock and they don't bend. No problems yet. As Catfinger said I'm sure you can bend them, but rock hammering them into hard Sierra ground littered with granite hasn't bent any.

Hi,I really haven't done much off road.The throttle switch is plastic and I was afraid it may break.I have done curbings,lawns,and some crappy roads.Handles well on these surfaces.The tires seem to be cracking on the sides.Little disappointed only had it a year.

If it's very minor, then possibly. I've taken mine over some rocks, but I'm sure if it hit a pointy rock at the right speed then it wouldn't hold up...

Did you wind up getting these for your Titan with Off-Road package? Everything I've researched says it's not meant for that setup...but I don't really see how it wouldn't work or what the difference is.

They'll take some serious power. My slash is on 3s, have nearly a year on the axles with no issues.

I haven't had the opportunity to use them this season but it you go to the manufacture website there are videos available to help you make a decision. They were pretty convincing and after reading they were approved in other states with similar road conditions I bought them. Hope that helps?

They fit nicely on my fuji cross pro but I never take them off road. I wouldn't trust them. They seem fragile. I have beefier wheels for when I'm needing to go off-roading. I do use them for commuting. My route is not the smoothest ride... curbs, railroad tracks, etc and they've held up great for 2 years now. GL

They actually don't seem to work at all. The design is flawed in that it doesn't allow you to secure the board(s) tightly enough to the top of the car to hold them down. I got nothing but floppy failure even at very low speeds (less than 30 mph) no matter how hard and tightly I tried to secure them. I'd recommend these instead, because they actually work, even at highway speeds: Block Surf Single Wrap Surfboard Rack Good luck, but I'd seriously recommend you avoid the FCS premium straps because their design seems to be seriously flawed and utterly unworkable.

I use these tires all year long. They are excellent on highway and off Road. They have always been a quiet tire. I had these tires on my GMC Canyon first and they were great. Now I run them on a GMC Sierra and they're great on it too. I would recommend them to anyone for highway and off-road use snow, dry, or rain.

You're correct, they would not be beneficial. Only other suggestion is using sandbags (long tube type used for weight in the back of pickup trucks). You'll want something to keep it steady. It'll probably 'walk' on the concrete when being used. Good luck!
