Hi All,
First time poster and crawler here. I’ve had my TRX4 defender for a few weeks, and ran it in water without venting the tires and let the tires sit with water in them until I noticed the tires were sagging and finally looked up the prep and post work for water running.

I’ve gotten all the water out but the foams are toast already.

I’m going to run the stock canyon trails for now, I’ve got RClions bead locks coming from Amazon, but I’m having a hard time finding closed cell foam that I can run in water but still crawl fairly decently on varied terrain.

I’ve done some reading and crawler innovations looks like they have the best option for closed cell replacements that might work for my case. I won’t be adding much weight or brass, if any, so my rig will stay in the 7-8 pound range.

Has anyone ran crawler innovation closed cell foams in the stock tires? If so what did you order and how are they holding up? I’m open to other options as well.

Having a blast so far!
