Im getting out the mud business

With all the recent inflow of post saying BFG ATs, 3.50 gears, D44TTBs, open diffs and 40" tires I have decided that maybe we are wrong and they are right.

In response I have decided to pull the 38.5" swampers and replace them with Apache 9.50R16.5 "All season" tires on 16.5x6 steelies. A tire so chitty they dont even qualify for a height designation

Can I have your swampers?

I have 3.50 gears. Maybe some day I'll even swap in a ttb. I'll do them justice!

Nick,
Im really looking for a 35TTB and matching 7.5 rear with open diffs and 3.54 gears.

Paul,
you can have the swampers and steelies if you find me a really bling set of 33x12.50 BFGs on 20x8 spinners.

Fishy,
why cut against the grain? why not go with the flow of under powered under geared under tractioned "mud trucks"

I wont settle for anything less than a chrome powder coated block! Preferably a 260 2bbl with cast manifolds and March pulleys

Get out of here NEWB!

Too bad the evos are 8x170mm bolt pattern. That would be perfect for George though

I cant stand it anymore!


I had to put the 30" tires on so the cherry picker would pick my engine up high enough to clear the grill. Last time I pulled the engine I had these tires on it and it came out fine. When I went to put the engine back in I had already put the swampers on and couldnt get the engine in. I probably couldve gotten away with just the fronts but the idea of George on 30s was too funny to pass up.


Ive got the engine out and I should start working on it tomorrow.
