just to throw in my good word for MT/Rs....my 37" MT/Rs were quieter on the road than my 33" KMs. unless you have something else to drive i'd front a little more for the tires that are gonna last longer.

just to throw in my good word for MT/Rs....my 37" MT/Rs were quieter on the road than my 33" KMs. unless you have something else to drive i'd front a little more for the tires that are gonna last longer.
as in the KMs... your mt/rs didnt last too long now did they
im thinkin about those maxxis creepy crawlers ive seen a pics of them and they look pretty interesting and they have them in a 36" size. No one else has them so i might try those on. I dont really care about lasting if they last as long as my TSL's ill be pleased. Dont want them to last too long then ill just get tired of the same ol tire, its fun to try different tires out about every year.
may be fun but it aint cheap
Get 35" mtrs then...I should be ready for them by then ;)
hey guys got a question ive found a EB CV driveshaft on ebay and also a chevy CV driveshaft on ebay they are the same price and not expensive, i will have to retube both for longer slip and to reach. which would you think would be the better buy, are the CVs different for each you think, i just dont know which would be better for the ends....
i'd recommend getting a chevy cv that will bolt to your case. Then, get an end for the axle yoke. take it to a shop and have em retube it and put long splines in there....or if u wanna i'll make you a square tube shaft.
i just saw, or realized what that post was about. i did my SAS and put the 37" MT/Rs on when the odometer read ~123,700....i just took the MT/Rs off less than a month ago, and it just rolled over to 148,000. most of the time i estimated the speedo/odo. to be off by 11-13% which means those tires lasted roughly 27,000 miles. the rears still have ~40% tread left...the fronts went bad b.c. of bad balljoints. they actually did last really well for the kind and size of tire they were.Quote:

My dad runs over 60K on every set of BFG MTs he gets. And he doesn't run them below 30%. And that's on a 10000 lb truck, that pulls most of the time. The 35" old style bfgmts I took off dodge had about 70K on them, and were not slick.
only other time i've heard of that kinda mileage from a mud tire was on the old school Bridgestone muds, which had the same tread as the pre-KM BFGs. 50,000+ miles on a CC, LB F350 used in a lawn care business.
BDR got like 50-60k out of his 35" old school BFG Muds
I loved those tires :flipoff2:Quote:

I went to BVD today and inquired about lengthening my rear shaft cuz it needs to be a bit longer before i put flexier springs on there i dont want it pulling apart going down highway. Anyways they said it would be 150 retube and balance. is this a good price? i thought was reasonable but havent tried any other place.
i also asked about lengthening a front shaft when i get it, and he said the most slip he could put in it would be 3 inches, told him i would prolly need more than that and he proceeded to tell me that the front end wont move much with the leaf springs i have and that i wouldnt even use all of three inches. guy was a dick thought he knew everything, i asked if he could build a shaft like the following and he said that i was crazy so...
150s high
