Mid travel overland-wheeler build with 35's and BS w/ SAS in the works

Haha not right now. I can spend that kinda money on a RTT. When I'm ready to upgrade it'll be TC ones

 

Thanks, 6k is a good start to the test. You should have a few rotations and they have been in some mud. Your terrain is so much different than mine in the valley of the sun. Even when i head up to the Rim its still so different with those parks you have. Im curious what happens when they hit 30k+ and are down to the 8/16 and below.
My Toyos do awesome but the heat and rocks here take their toll on the outer ring of tread when they get over 30k on them. Thats when they will start to chunk. Although still very functional, this is a common site with all tires out here in the desert. They dry out and then the rubber starts to give and tear away. Its still better than a BFG that will chunk when brand new out here.
I dont doubt that Cooper tires are awesome. Since a lot of them are ran in the Outback I wonder how long they hold up to the desert.

 

I'll keep updating this subject every 5k when I get my oil changed cause that's when I rotate my tires.

 

Also after some thinking and research I've came to the conclusion to possibly upgrading the rear I don't just mean shackle flip and bumpstops either

 

Back on the 63 kick and maybe some 14s?

 

Not going with 63's but I am going with 14's. This will be a winter project. Don't won't to have the truck down during the summer. Going to get @EddyRRT shock hoop installed and get some 14" kings. Just a firm believer of keeping my tires on the ground.

 

Why the TC? I went with the DK due to the Derlin bushings.

 

I hear so much good things about TC and I have there uppers so my OCD would kill me not to run them

 

Ahh ok. Yeah when I got mine I could only find maybe 3 other people in here that ran them. I'm more than pleased with the quality of them.

 

Lolz, so many hung on the delrin, its plastic with zero give.
I already have a lack of any bushing on the upper with heims. I like the polyurethane on the lowers.
So many wonderful noises that my front makes.
Squeaky squeaky

 

I see the bushings as a consumable and replace them annually like my windshield wiper blades.

 

You like your TC right?

 

Of course I do. 50k miles and they have been awesome. Im nearing a refresh of the UBs and bushings though. It will be around a 200$ refresh but still far better over OEM.

Critical thinking time..
With a new hoop, 14s, shackles and a flip, how much gain do you expect over your current setup? We have to take in account that your current setup was installed correctly with a flip and shackles?

 

I'm probably wrong but I was thinking a decent amount over my current setup. How much exactly will I gain?

 

OP just likes spending money

 

No just want it to be the best it can be. I've already dropped an ass of $$$ in it so if I can make it be better than what it is why not.

 

Now you're talking!

 

Anyways all I was wanting to do is just get more droop in the rear. @EddyRRT can post a pic of his truck with 14's in the rear and shackle flip cause his droop/flex is crazy

 

LT yo!

SUA

 

Nope not LTing it. After talking with a few people I doubt it's even worth it for me. I'll just save that money up to SAS it one day
