Unfortunately I am not. I'm not sure what is going on, but I haven't seen pics of his rig on JKX and he made a random post in another thread yesterday. Overlander asked him if he was on JKX and he didn't answer...just logged off.
Take a look at the last couple pages of the "What is your price" thread.

It is 100% fact that he cancelled. Reason being, who knows.

That's what they're trying to figure out. We all have a funny feeling that doesn't sit well with anybody!

That would be scum of the earth (not to steal eddies thunder since apparently he is) if he sold free tires. I don't think that's the case but who knows.

I agree that family comes first, but unless someone was dying or fell seriously ill, there is no reason for family to come before a trip that hundreds of people tried to earn the chance to be a part of.
I'll leave it alone now. I suppose it's up to the OP to let us know what really happened and what's going on with the tire sale.

I'd think one would return them since not used for original intended purpose. Or the other option is sell. At the very least, slap them on and move on.
Not too high on the resale. Integrity goes a long way in my book, regardless of situation.

Why is he "laughing out loud" about it in his post on JKF?
And he posted his tires for sale over there at the beginning of August... Seems like he knew he was backing out a month before the trip started. I just hope he notified Mel and his team so an alternate could be chosen in time.

The event is sponsored by Nitto tires, every mfg gives away swag to participants. Nitto just so happens to gift each rig (if they want them) a free set of 37" Trail grapplers. That's how much faith Nitto has in their tires, they want to let unknown drivers take a set of their off the shelf tires and put them through hell over a weeks worth of wheeling in a very publicized event that gets great video coverage.
Back when Falken tire was the sponsor, I refused a set of the Wild Peaks, the tires were worthless on the trail. I didn't make the video much, and I damn sure didn't make the video on two seperate JKX's when I helped changed Wild Peak flat tires on four different occassions, two of which were on the Falken Tire JK.
You know how many Nitto flat/damaged tires were changed on two JKX's and two Ultimate Adventures.......zero.
