Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Hmm well maybe I should make a run with some of you before I go 4.5" this winter and 33's in the summer. As far as skids I only have a front skid fromt Rustys. I've been looking at the Appalachian transfer skid and a factory gas tank and reinforcing it. But my slider have come in I just have no hardware or a welder to put them on. But I do have moderately acceptable tow points.

Well my rear are good, but my fronts are just factory tow hooks with a longer bolt through them and the front bumper mounts. I was mainly to make it look like I had tow points. But I should be making my front bumper within a few weeks with solid points.

Factory tow hooks are fine. That's what I run for now until I get my new bumper.

Is the CSF too expensive? I won't run a stock radiator ever again.

Granted I run a Flowkooler high flow pump as well, but while cruising I never get over 195-200*.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

The sad part is, I might agree with you here Mark. I think I ran the A/Ts too low for their liking. I had them at 12 psi for 33x12.5 on a 15x8.

I figured that was good but they just have too soft of a sidewall. I should have run them at like 16 psi.

Ha, I was just giving you a hard time. but you did have sh*t luck with those BFG's.

I never had one problem with them, and I aired down to 12psi for 32x11.5 on 15x8.

Hmm that's odd then.

I know Matt (Egon) has had his set of 33x10.5 for a couple years now. He runs them at 15-16 psi I think and they just have scuffs in the sidewall. And that's wheeling stuff like rock creek, etc. That's what made me think I ran mine kind of low, granted his were 10.5 wide.

LOL..... Egon has been running those tires for 5 or 6 years!!! Those tires should have become "boat-bumpers" a few years ago, but they still seem to be working.

Ross, the TJ lives again. Ran all the lines yesterday, and just finished bleeding them this morning.

You are actually the first person I know who has had that experience with BFG's.

I had mine for about 2 years or so, and that was back when I used to wheel the same amount in a month what I have in the past 2 years.

The tires then went on to live on my friend's Sonoma.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I had the same problem when looking for a set of frames a while back. I didn't want anything too expensive but didn't want a junk pair either.

I have a set of Chaps that were like $100 or something. They have the half frame on top of the lens and the wire holding it in the rest of the way on the bottom.

They've survived a couple falls and have only had to be repaired once, which took the lady 5 minutes to put a new wire in.

At this point expensive isn't so much the issue (only sorta). I want it made in this country and I need a full frame. The dainty half or no frame ones would be done in a matter of hours. I've still had no luck finding any. I'll give it a little time for the places I went to re-stock.

Factory tow hooks are fine. That's what I run for now until I get my new bumper.

You arn't in the tow hook haters club?

no not at all. i need to drive my jeep for work. and i can get a shit one tonight. more of a time thing then anything i would love a 3 row.

I got mine in 3 business days. How bad is it? Can you suck it up and wait a few more days?

I think and they just have scuffs in the sidewall...

Think they had scuffs? Those things were whitewalls!

LOL..... Egon has been running those tires for 5 or 6 years!!! Those tires should have become "boat-bumpers" a few years ago, but they still seem to be working.

Insane. I almost didn't believe it when he told us that, until I looked at the date code on the tires.

You are actually the first person I know who has had that experience with BFG's.

Not here. My buddy destroyed a set on his F150.
