Trailling and some muck we found

This is off Hwy48 in TX. We hit up a good 2 hour trail ride with alot of flexing and we happen to have stumbled on a little mud strip, it hasnt rained in a while.

I still have the Street tires because when I ordered the other 2 only 1 was in stock. but the other one will be here tuesday!
First up 92 Ford FlareSide with a 6" Rough Country Lift and 3" Body (it was to expensive to remove the BL) and Super Swamper TSL Radials







And this is why you dont buy BFG at unless you have some one to pull ya!



Theres more pics and videos but I need a friend to send them to me!
MORE TO COME!!!

Am I wrong in thinking that those Sampers look a little odd??? The center lugs have almost no spacing between them.


Looks like some work with the grooving iron is required.

All of the swampers that I have seen (not a whole lot in person, but hey I read at least 3offroad mags a month)have a larger gap between the center lugs. I dunno, just looks a little odd.

A grooving iron is a tool used to cut the tread of a tire. A good example of this is when you take a swamper bogger and cut all of the small lugs off of it to create more of a paddle type tire. People use them to sipe tires to for better winter traction (aroud these parts anyway) as well.

Ok, I have to say it. Is the padlock so no one steals your high tech, invisble, prototype Super Swamper spare?!


Nice wheeling pics BTW, go get some more, with matching fronts .

Probably not, that may be why. They look good on any truck though, that much I know.

Is it just me or does the GMC logo need replaced. I just hate it. GMC? Get creative. Stick a chevy logo on there.

...or a Ford. ^_^
