Official 2016 Annual Citrus Meet picture thread

@Timbo89 @Taco No Baka @TuffTaco03 @Black Horse I guess it runs in the family my little brother got stuck in almost the same spot and yes he is 4wd but the vacum line that goes to the front axle is missing so it currently doesn't work

 

Hahahaha nice

 

I was just saying I have km2's and really like them. I guess I was just associating with the brand saying that I like em is all. Maybe if I ever get a 4wd I will look at interco but for wheeling once or twice a year I'm happy with my bfg's. I will probably go to 35's and look at the toyo's

 

What assholes always trying to ruin the fun

 

just go through it from the sides

 

@ramonortiz55 , you missing a spare?

 

I have 17s.

not mine.

 

I was running the toyo M/Ts and they were fantastic out there but I was most impressed on how well they self cleaned. I think they should be renamed to bear claws or something haha

 

other than them being stupidly heavy lol, ill be getting a set for my 1980 PU. but I need to save for gears and buy everything at once lol....god that 4 banger would hardly do anything on stock gears with 35s lol

 

Haha, I love Intercos, but even I wouldn't put then on a vehicle I put even average yearly mileage on. They are too soft a compound, which is great for getting a grip on the terrain, but they wear too quick...even the radials like the Trxus MTs.

 

That really sucks. I'd love to run intercos. Even pit bulls wear fast

 

Just depends on what your priorities are and how deep your pockets go. $1500-$2000 in tires every couple of years probably wouldn't be a game breaker if you had your rig pretty close to how you want it...all the major, high dollar mods done so you were basically just maintaining it. Everything else is just compromise: compromising off-road capability for tread life, or compromising capability for ride comfort. I'm just pretty lucky I get to focus on how many years the tires will last before they dry rot rather than how many miles they can run before they're bald.

My set of Trxus MTs I had on the F250 lasted 9 years before they dry rotted and started to separate. I haven't been able to find a tire that would last more than 3 years before rotting on the Honda. The set of Yokohamas I have on it now have been the best so far, but they are starting to crack. Might try Toyos next and see how those do.

 

I put alot of miles on my thornbirds since I got them a year ago and they aren't to bad considering what they are

 

Yeah, but they are also getting pretty smooth. Now as to whether or not that's 'cause you've been practicing your drifting technique on the pavement is another matter, lol. My Trxus MTs had about 10k on them and they were almost down to the wear bars after 9 years on a 7500 lb truck. I figure they would probably be good for 20k or so on a 4800 lb truck, more on a 1st Gen or a Hilux.

Edit: I don't expect to wear my Swampers out. I'm either going to destroy them off-road (cutting a sidewall or something) or they are going to rot. I dunno which will happen first although my fenders are chewing the rear ones up pretty bad.

 

Lol a combination of that and bad alignments just ask Chris if if starts breaking loose I give it more gas and lightem up

 

Haha, this does not come as a surprise.

I think after I get my rear axle squared away and the rubbing issue under control I may check into having the rear tires dismounted and turned around so at least the chewed up side is on the inside.

 

Yea I hear ya lee. I really need a daily and a place to store the truck until I need it.

 

I dunno. I'm sort of a fan of a daily-driven trail rig. Mine, for all that I don't drive too far is essentially a daily driver. Unfortunately, depending on what your situation is, a daily-driven trail rig comes with compromises. I kinda feel like if you're gonna have a dedicated trail rig, you should build a buggy...not you specifically, but just in general. Because...well...buggy.

 

Hypocracy

 

I know it just gets annoying not having a backup anymore
