Good luck on the house offer dude.

Ross said Quirk Tire in Westborough vulcanized his tire. I'm gonna call them and see if they'll do the one I punctured this weekend. I'll also bring a picture of the one with the plugs and see if they can do that since it's so close to the bead.

I'm thinking that if I do bring it to Carlisle, I might try to put it on the dyno. Hell, I'd bring it to the drag strip Friday night if they let me pass tech.

Every time I see Pat's handle I have to chuckle. I feel like a 14 year old.

I am so impatient when it comes to pics/videos of a trail run.

If they aren't uploaded within like 24 hours of a run, I'm like wtf.

I've got Carmelo's 8-lug rollers (2 of them) that you can borrow to put it on the dyno with. I doubt they'd be able to run a 40" tire on it.

Are the tires any good on them Dundy? If the tires suck/dry-rotted/whatever I doubt they'd even let me go near it.

They probably suck. I don't remember.

Worst case, remove 2 rims from the Cummins and bolt them to the Jeep.

That's my plan.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

So with 40" tires, I'd be doing 145 MPH in 4th gear high range at 6500 rpm. That's scary.

114 MPH with the 265s on the CTD. That's acceptable.

Tire diameter will affect the perceived hp/tq output... Why wouldn't the dyno accept a 40" tire? They're just rollers that it sits on and the vehicle gets ratcheted down, like it's on a trailer.

I don't know, I'm not worried about tire size.

I'm more worried about them just saying no once they look at my jeep :laugh:

I just hope my driveshafts don't implode. They both have less than .030" of runout though.

Lucas has done many dyno runs with his 39" krawlers so I don't see a issue with 40" mtrs



Tonight I think I'm gonna go ahead and order 1 bag of 1/2" grade 8 bolts for the spring hangers on my truck. The 10mm bolts just look to cheesy and there's nothing to order for the Jeep as it dosnt need anything

According to what I'm reading, my setup is pretty good. No rear bumps and I haven't bottomed out the shocks yet.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I only understand a bit of it.

I'll have to really dig into it when I buy coilovers.

Probably won't happen until the winter.

That means that my set-up is equivalent to yours. No bumpstops (well, they're 4 miles from the axle housing) and my shocks haven't bottomed out in 3 years.

The only issue that I see that the rollers are only so large. 40" tires move more than 29" tires. If a tire comes off a roller and hits the ramp something is going to be unhappy. My guess would be the tire, the Jeep, and the Dyno tech. after the tire grabs at 70 mph and rips the straps off the dyno.

Nice! Good luck!
Which one this time?

Pete's Tire Barn in Orange, MA was the one that was going to do mine (that's their large truck tire shop). I believe any Pete's will do it and they just ship it to their Orange location and then back. Might want to check though.

Did you blow up yet another D30?
