THe NAC Lots-O-BFG KO2 Thread

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Well I am going to be running 4.88s so it's seeming like I will be landing somewhere between an aggressive 33 and a milder 35 or 36. I am starting to think I may get 2 sets of tires, a set of 36" A/Ts for better highway cruising and a set of 33-35" swampers or something for trails.

4.88's and 33's with an auto will be pretty darn good. colin loved it. tire size dictates what you want to run for axles/gears. if you want to womp on an aggressive 33" tire, you're good to go on the d30. if you want to womp on a 35/36/37, you're looking at a 44. any bigger, a 60...

I did just see Anthony's and thought about it, but I kinda want to run at least a 12.50, largely because that's what I am used to having.. a backspaced out 12.50. And I like the stability I have from them.

tire width when you get a bias ply doesn't mean anything other than how big around the bubble is. it's not like a radial tire where the tread wants to stay perpendicular to the sidewall. i don't want to be insulting, but how much wheeling have you done where the width of the tire made the difference between rolling and not rolling? i've never really wished i had wider tires than the 10.5's... if i got taller tires (35-36 ish) i'd probably get a 12.5" wide tire, but the aspect ratio stays about the same...

Yeah, I got it. My jeep's getting parted out, hopefully get it all dismantled this week so I can pick up the new-to-me rig asap. Basically everything I'll be selling from my Jeep has found a home already, just needs to get there :)

Reason for doing it doesn't have anything to do with my Jeep having sub-par wheeling performance. or whatever you want to call it. But the fact is I hammered the crap out of it, and the Jeep itself is starting to hate me for it. It probably would last a couple more seasons, but It was too hammered to get frame stiffeners on (held them up to the unibody once and laughed) and just all the body damage...I really kind of regret beating the crap out of it so much. It's definitely fun, for sure, but I wish I had armored it up better before thrashing it. So, with this rig, yeah someone else built it and I kind of like the idea that I did all the work with mine etc, but the fact of the matter is it's a better platform and as far as I'm concerned it's a plus that it's got a 3 link/4 link and 60s. I'll definitely miss my Jeep, but I think in a year from now I'll still be glad I moved on from it.


...This was quite possibly my longest post in this thread to date. and I have a LOT :D

I can't decide if you're yanking my chain or if I actually guessed right :o

(My guesses were entirely based on like 3-5 posts I've seen about it)

$5 says youve already got plans for it. What say you? Would the dights 0, 5, and 4 be involved?

I don't get the 0 5 4 part, sorry :) But my plans are to try and keep it nice. It's way too nice to just beat the crap out of it and destroy it. I'll put on the frame stiffeners that I've got, do rocker replacements, and then these are next on the list when I have some money again:

Then when I get some real money flowing in, I'll buy some tubing and do a nice interior cage with some external stuff for protecting the nice looks :thumbup:
