Bought a Taco

[Shaggy]

should have outboarded the springs a little to get away from that

[tigweld]

bvd wants at least 45 or so, but still cheaper than a trip to the hospital

he only needs one, i got 4 at weaver spring for 42$ not to long ago

[bcolman]

they may be a little bit cheaper for smaller axles, but i needed some for my d70, you also have to factor in that there is very little if any competition in this town for things like that so it will be more expensive

you ended up getting them from bvd? well there is your problem, that place is overpriced as sh*t. Gooseneck didn't have what you needed?

[colman]

did you miss the 4" part? no he didn't he ordered from ruff stuff

[FJAggie07]

Ruh Roh Raggy!

[DRAGOONRANCH]

ruh roh indeed!

[uglyota]

Nice! I couldn't believe you were going to all that work and putting on shatty surplus tires! That's gonna be superpimp

[FJAggie07]

I had hinted to the wife what I wanted for my birthday (said tires above) and in the off chance she didn't pick up on the hint I wanted a back up plan (said shatty surplus tires). I will now have 4 shatty surplus tires for sale soon.

Any reason you went with radials over bias?

[FJAggie07]

The bias's in 37" are 13.5" wide, and reported to be even wider than that. I like tall and skinny for the contact patch so I liked the 12.50's which measure a true 12.50. Also I am still going to be driving the Tacoma to and from the trails on occasion when it is just me camping for a couple of days so I wanted to keep the best on road manners I could and still have the Rockers.

EDIT: Looking at the invoice that came in with em, the price difference is damn near negligible, the Bias Ply's are $315 a tire and she got these radials for $321 a tire.

[uglyota]

Yeah you'll be psyched to not piss blood if you ever drive it to clayton

[FJAggie07]

Ok pulled an H1 apart last night and damn near gave myself a hernia trying to unfawk the PVC insert from within the goodyear MT so I could install the Rockers. HA! I am ASSuming I might need some kind of special tire tools because my two prybars weren't doing the trick. I mounted the tire back on the wheel the way it was. Any suggestions on how ya'll have done these before, since I have absolutely no experience mounting these things?

Also got the Taco Box in last night, it is the only clean spot under the damn truck...

soap, some prybars, and some ass.

turn the pvc sideways and set it on a 5 gallon bucket. Add straight liquid soap. Push down on tire.

My old usa6x6 inserts have a bit of give to them, so they are much easier to put in and take out than a true piece of pvc pipe.
