i have to ask...how the hell did you wind up like that in the 2nd pic? did you drive across the corner of the lake and found a spot with no bottom or did you back in?...and you werent stuck right
you want mallcrawler....
what i want to know is what the hell is that bumper gonna protect it from up there? oncoming aircraft?
and of course 99% of the newer shivys are mallcrawlers...you cant get much more mallcrawler than a lifted Kodiak LOL
theres your daily dose of mallcrawler...well for me thats enough to last a lifetime...but whatever sails your ship i guess
and isenegger your truck is no mallcrawler lol its lift and tires are in proportion still LOL and it actually gets driven on surfaces not made of concrete

i know mine is not a mall crawler. i just had to post it and see what yall would say. about the pond thing. i drove across the corner of a huge pond and actually died out right there. i ran out of gas! so i just left it for a little while and rode my 4 wheeler around. i hate to drive my truck on concrete. the tires are not balanced and offroad is a little bit smoother too.

Balance them with airsoft BB's or anti-freeze. (I prefer antifreeze cause its easier. But everyone who wants perfect amounts and such go with airsoft BB's. Pull your valve core, and put about a cup of anti-freeze in your tire with a large syringe. If its unbalanced still, add more. Works great for my 37" super swampers.

i never heard of antifreeze? i know about the BB's i get a bad wobble at about 30-35 and then again 55 or so.

Its the same concept. The anti-freeze just rolls around such as the BB's would. Except I think its easier to put in the tire and alot easier to get the balancing right. Its what is used in semi-truck tires sometimes, and what I use in my bigger tires.
If it wobbles, add more.
One of my side lugs on my super swamper was badly chunked and it still balanced it good enough for the road. When you see it spinning you can tell it wobbles, but you cannot feel it.

there is a site that tells you exactly how much weight in bbs to add to the tire so its not really that hard but bbs sound cooler at slow speeds and you can hear them tumbling around
bbs, antifreeze, and sand, all work the same, they do not roll around in the tire, at highway speed the bbs (or whatever else) will evenly distribute all the way around the tire, and as it speeds up the centripetal forces will actually cause the bbs to balance the tire out if you have a heavy spot they will compensate, only at low speeds do they roll around...ill go see if i can find the website for ya
