X-Phile,
Seriously, if you're interested in "4 Women...err....wheeling" as your profile states, don't waste your $ on the Waag crap. The same $ will go a long way toward buying REAL protection for REAL off-road use in the form of skidplates and/or rock sliders, which should be second on your list of upgrades for 'wheeling after tires if you can afford the luxury of scrapping the nearly-new stock tires early.
If you're interested in joining others in MD, let me know, I founded the Greater DC Xterra Club and we'd love to have you.
