54" boggers
have yall checked out the 54" boggers yet, i seen a couple of sets at mudfest this past weekend and ive got to say im not impressed.
they are way to skinny for how tall they are, i think they should at least be as wide as the 49 iroks, and the tread depth is way too shallow!!, what do yall think of them.

any pictures? i have only seen a side view next to a 44...and it looks tall, but thats it.
btw...why are mud tires ALL goin skinny? my personal preference...along with many ppl i know...are to have wide tires to float and stay out of skinny ruts. diggin doesnt do any good when you hang the axles up on the rest of the ground

i agree, i like the 49 irok when it came out at first cause it was 21" wide, but they just dont pull like a bogger!!!
sorry no pics, they are def. tall but just too skinny compared to the irok, and there isn't much more tread depth from the 44, we measured them

They are the same width as the old boggers....19.5" Which is 1.5" skinnyer than the Irocs and 5" taller.
I don't see anything wrong with them, they are alittle skinny, but 20" wide is still pretty good.
You would have to be going through 3 foot deep mud to even make the axles bottom out, so it wouldn't matter how much you'd dig down, b/c now many people attempt 3' + of mud (on purpose).

they just look kinda goofy on a big truck, they really do look too skinny, and compared to a lot of trucks out at mudfest 54" is kinda small, compared to 66"x48" tires, and 3' of mud is a normal thing out there!!! most of the trucks out there are on vtreads anyway
i ain't rite

they actually dont look that bad on that car, they def. dont look as good on a full size truck, and for 650-700 a peice i rather buy some xzl's or some tractor tires.

i'd like to find some terras, but i cant afford them. the 48's come in like...3 widths i think...somethin like 48x25x20; 48x31x20; and i have heard of 48x36x20.
and my opinion on 54's...why get them if you arent going to be tackling about 3' of mud? and couldnt you get some wider rims to mount those 54's on so make them look wider and maybe use the sidewalls a bit more?

there was a buggy at grayrock last weekend with 54 bogger and he kept busting stock rocky shafts. i personally like the tall skinny design, they have always pulled better for me, then again i have always had a real heavy rig so floating on top was never an option!

what do you mean he KEPT busting the shafts, how many did he break, im running reo's and i thought that eliminated axle breakage, im going to be running 53" v-treads, i know lots of guys with this setup that dont break, i guess rocks are knarlier than i thought

ive never been rock crawlin, considering i live in central florida, but i thought rocks are slick, if you have so much traction why is it so hard to climb rocks then?
