what is a interco booger?

 

Better have the beans to turn just about any bogger in the mud. Boggers are heavy, and really take a bunch of power to turn. An engine that cant turn a bogger with enough wheel speed to prevent the tire from grabbing will break a drivetrain component. There is such a thing as "too much traction" even in the mud.
A small engine might not have enough what it takes to turn such a tire, even if you only run two.
Example:
I ran a set of 39.5" boggers on a 79 bronco with enough power to hold its own, and I decided to cut them. Took it out two times before I sold them. Engine dropped about 500 rpm at wide open throttle in the mud. From a dead stop, the vehicle did not have enough to get the tires spinning. Regardless of design, if the tire cant spin enough to clean itself, it will become a "slick". Super aggressive tires are better at cleaning, and will require less speed, but this same vehicle that I mentioned above now runs 42" IROKS. These happen to be lighter, and can spin faster than the shorter bogger. The tires get enough tractions to be superior than the bogger. This is different from vehicle to vehicle, but everyone has to consider whether or not this tire is actually suitable for the vehicle they want to install them on.
Boggers are tough to turn, and are hard on parts.

 

TSL BoggerTITLE | Interco Tire

 

Even easier then the link he just gave you. Its a tire made by Interco. :P

From what i've heard i'm leaning more towards NO on the boggers. It seemed like a good idea at first but i'm hitting too many negatives. I think i'll throw another pair of TSL's on it.

Thanks for the information guys.

 

Its not that its not that boggers are bad, but i dont belive your truck is built for them yet...

 

Thanks for saying "Yet".

Well, right now its got a stock 460 in its prime. And 1 ton running gear. W/ Brand new u-joints on every part of the rig. And the boggers that would be going on would be 37's.

I would have thrown the bigger boggers that I had traded my jeep for but I sold them after my project truck got messed up.

But I really don't want to break anything quite yet. Let me know what you guys think of this setup if I could handle boggers.

And i'm about to post about my TSL's i'd like someone to look at it if you get the chance.

 

Got to be hardcore to run boggers. And dedicated esp. in winter when the bias ply gets flat spots from sitting. Takes about 5 miles before they round back out. My truck sees 80% offroad use. Just on the hi way to get to the mud/trails.

 

Good choice. Ive got the 35x14.50's on my 69 Bronco and its hell on the street, and when it rains its down right scary. Had a set of 31x12.50 on a ranger one time that only ran on the street, got 9K miles out of them.

 

Well if boggers are bad in the rain then I wouldnt want them. There's only a few months in the year its not raining nearly everyday.

Thats the winter months when its below freezing and the summer months when we've got a few dry weeks.

And at this time i'm driving my F-350 everyday. (I've had some wheeling withdrawls so i'm on a trail every chance i've got.)

 

Sounds like you need the superb wet weather traction of BFG A/Ts.

 

I'd be happy with those if I had them in 37" form. Lol but I have the TSL's in the 37 form already. :P

And by form I mean size.

 

Thanks. My truck is EFI anyways, never had a problem with angles. As for the tire I need a 37 because i'm only replacing two of my tires. I think i'll get the SSR because its almost exactly the same as the TSL Radial. Well, its the same minus the "TSL" part. :P

 

and about $100 more

 

Yeah. Which really sucks. :|
