The future kicks for tripod

[garrett83]

Flame on!

These will be mounted to the new 1 ton axles that I am picking up next week!

 

[rockclimber]

swampers are lastara


















looks good man!

 

[Vanimal]

Dude, why didnt you tell us you moved to Florida? we could have had a going away party or something

 

[garrett83]

Hahaha!!

I'm just prepping for the mud season!!

But really, I got a deal on these, traded an old motorcycle for them. I figure these will work great for setup and get me through the next year of wheeling before I can afford a nicer set of tires...

I knew I was going to have to switch to posting on pirate!!

 

[Vanimal]

hahaha well cool if you got a good deal, no harm in that. that thing is going to be WIDE! will it fit on a trailer still?

 

[garrett83]

Who needs a trailer!

It prolly won't. The off set looks to be one of rediculous proportions! I'll get them mock up in a couple weeks and see.

so much for treading lightly....:sure:

 

[Vanimal]

what'd yu get for axles? are they already locked and geared?

 

[GrimmJeeper]

tsl swampers suck ASS for crawling they slip off of everything. I ran them for a year or so and they sucked. especially if the surface is even slightly wet. the only thing they're good in is mud.

enjoy having your teeth rattled out if you drive your rig to the trail :gee:

 

[Vanimal]

they have to be predictable, the tread even has arrows pointing to which way you'll slide

 

[boostamante]

HOly crap! How big are they?

38's or 39's

I saw that set while I was looking for some for my Heep.

I worked out a deal with cracker for his 60/70 combo. I'm going to keep the 410s and set up a doubler to make up for the high gearing.

I will be in the market for lockers over the next couple months.

38's or 39's

These are 39.5s on 16.5 rims. This is the set from sun valley.

I plan to get some steel rims and do DIY bead locks for now, that is if I don't fin a deal befor I do. The rims that are on it now will work for mock up and get me to goat fest if I can build it fast enough.

 

[Vanimal]

40's on 4.10's will be murder on the road, as i'm sure you already know.

Yeah, thats the set. I'm in the market for some 39's on 16.5 or 17 inch wheels. Looked like a decent deal but I didn't want the swampers.

 

[souske]

Damn, and I though my 4.10/33" combo was marginal

You must have a stroker....

 

[garrett83]

I run 3:55s on my 35s.... Ya it's a lot of fun!!

When I get the money for shafts and real lockers I'll gear it accordingly, but for now I just want to get used to the new set up. It will only see street time goin to local trails, trailer anywhere over an hour away.

 

[cal]

Its going to be a problem on the trail too. You'll be carrying too much speed going into obstacles, or will constantly be on the torque converter and fry things. I'd throw the 35's back on until you can get some 5.13's or 5.38's in there.
