For some reason it seems that when the ground is slightly wet the tires always wanna spin when I give it some gas but never chirp lol, hard tires I guess.

Just hold the brake on a little and let the back spin till it drys out the road. Works for me as it is always wet here in the great north rain forest.

The fronts are Wildcat Radial LT tires and the rears are Kelly Safari MSR snow tires with the studs removed. I wasn't the one that put those crap tires on there lol. The fronts are good but the rears are too hard.

Tried that before, didn't make a whole lot of difference. If you have to stop in a hurry good luck lol. Needs some different tires on the back.

I was surprised it spun the 35's, this old truck won't let some stupid gears bring it down. The true power that is hidden within the motor is stating to show it's self more and more every time i drive it.

i seen that with my 93.. the damn thing had absolutely no power with cat converters and stock air filter..
k & n fixed the air flow
dynomax with glasspacks fixed the exhaust..
smog pump bypass too..
feels like a different truck now.. much more power.. i wasnt able to spin the stock 31s when i got it.. now i can spin them at 2500 rpm.. had no power with 35s in the snow.. sold those tires to a guy and 4" lift with it...
ehh they didnt look good on there anyways

Mine will spin just fine in the snow, in fact last year when we had a big ice storm i was at a stop light and as i was holding the brake the back wheels started spinning. I wasn't touching the gas either.It was kind of cool but my mom was freaking out.

One guy pissed me off in the Walmart parking lot when he was supposed to stop and he just kept rolling, I barely hit the gas and the tires spun and it took off lol.

Gotta love 3.55:1, but with my stock 29" tires it brings it to 3.23:1

Also, my truck used to have 2 cats, they were both royally messed up inside, all broken and clogged. I'm surprised it even got up and went like that. Unfortunately when I have an exhaust system put on it I gotta put one back on. But it'll be 3" inlet outlet instead of 2.5" inlet 2.25" outlet.

When my Bronco was running lol, just breathing on the gas on wet pavement would cause it to break loose. Punched it from a light and stayed sideways until I let off about 40mph, She straightened out and I got back in her again, hit 2nd around 50mph and she broke loose again...At that point I just stayed in it working her back an forth up unti l about 80. I decided I had enough lol. 31x10.50s dont stand a chance on wet pavement with 450hp and 4.10s hahaha.

wow that's crazy. I wonder if my bronco will have that kind of power when I fix the gears. I know these motors only had a little over 150hp New but I think that's still quite a bit.
