I am sure you do not "wheel" that thing do ya? Seems like a full stuff would be fender death for sure.

I would not blame you if you didn't, thats a damn sharp rig. I bet you grin ear to ear when you walk outa the store and see that thing, I would.

Like driving by a bldg with reflective windows and seeing the reflection and saying "damn nice truck".

 

I've never run the boggers on the street, but I have run the TSL's on my daily driver. No issues and the tire wear was great. You can't even buy them anymore, but the brand new Buckshot mudders I bought lasted a whopping 6 months before they were completely bald. (I guess that's why you can't buy them anymore)

I think with your limited road use, you'd be fine with any tire you wanted. I've been wheeling for decades. I can't remember a single time I even tried to balance a tire bigger than 35". I never had a problem with vibration. Not that you could feel a vibration anyway on a 40"-44" tall mud tires with a cammed up engine. The truck shook like crazy regardless of tire balance.

....ah memories.

 

i don't wheel it hard... I've had it out in the woods messing around, and had it on the sand drag track and stuff... after the black paint turned out so nice i can get myself to beat on it too much. Ive got another truck for that.

 

Like I said, I can't blame you one bit.....

 

Anyone ever runs boggers on rear and TSL's on front? I know a few guys that do that. They claim when turning, the mud slides right through the lugs on the boggers. With TSL's on front they can turn a lot better and just run boggers on the rear.

 

lol no i can see that though! i know someone running 44 boggers and on the front he cut out every second lug(he kept the longer ones and cut the shorter ones)

 

I've seen a lot of that on a lot of different mud trucks so it must help some.

 

What are you talking about? Mismatched tires does better, then I'm in. lol

 

Ever bust your back window out? Why no bed? Just curious.

 

No yet, but its just a around the farm truck and has not seen any hard core wheeling/rock slinging since its work in progress.

I am making a flat bed out of a ol aluminium headache rack off a tractor trailer for it and will probably also end up taking out all the glass and the doors off when I put the in cab roll bar in.....

Projects....

 

I like they way you have secured your fuel filler neck

 

It works......and is what I had laying around.

 

Just don't loose the plate! What's going on with the ?extra gas tank or what is that?
.

 

That big steel cross plate was when it had a flat bed on it for the goose neck trailer ball. What extra fuel tank do you see, or are you seeing the rust/grey primer rear tank?

It has only one tank on it now, unless the shop trolls did something.....

 

I love the shop trolls they usually help me out a bunch. You know lay some parts out and a few tools and after that second case of beer the damn parts are in somehow.
