Alabama thread!

Well guys, I'm a well known member now.... am I in the unofficial official club now?

 

Yup

 

Got to make it to a mod day.

Aggressive AT = Duratrac. Loved mine, but they got noisy after 4 years. Found my inner tie-rods were worn slap out, so that may have cupped them causing the noise.

 

Heard good things about those, but my buddy with a jeep has blown out 3 of those on hawks pride in tuscumbia. That's the only reason Im hesitant.

 

C or E rated?

Good driving or bad driving?

 

C but good driving. One of the 3 blow outs was on the way home.

 

Just sayin u can get 255/85 bighorns mounted and balanced for that at pepboys and... 33's

 

And I'd be back in there in a year to get new ones

 

Oh man i hope not cuz it takes em 9 months to put em on

 

So....I test drove a 2017 the other day.

 

Can someone school me on this?
Ok which lift ome or bilstein and ome?

I have read and searched, Just can't honestly find anything to sway me either way.......

 

Haha y'all sum itches are retarded. It's the same tire conversation every single day what's the best blah blah blah. Who's the cheapest? Seriously guys cheap and quality never go together. Rebates make them affordable. Having sold tires for a living when I was in college I was a BFGoodrich fan as they rode great did OK off road and would last a lifetime. Now that they have changed their sidewall went to ONLy a E rated tire in the size we all want to run they ride great for the first 5-10k miles then they become hard to balance even with a road force balancing machine. Even with hubcentric wheels. I say this not as a misinformed or a ill customer but as someone who has very good friends who still sell tires run tire shops and deal with customers everyday. Who bring these tires in every 2k miles dying they have started riding like crap. These tires do not stay balanced or track straight the compound that we all grew to love over the years is no more. The tire that is taking the market by storm and has been slowly pushing BFGoodrich off the top spot? Toyo.... the Toyo R/t fits the bill that 90% of us want. It is a more aggressive all terrain. I personally am too cheap to just throw rubber away before using it up so I am keeping my BFG's until they need replacing then going with the Toyo M/T if my tire isn't going to ride amazing. They might as well perform

 

I am running the 5100 bilsteins and a set of Ome coils and they are great!

 

Chill out broski.

I don't think anyone was trying to be cheap with tires. Just weighing options on different brands

 

Anyone in AL interested in buying a 2 person RTT? A CVT Mt. Bachelor. Just putting feelers out, there I'm not feeling like I get all the use I should be out of the tent to keep it around.

 

I plan to buy one before Moab. Don't really have the money to throw at one right now though.

 

I broke my collar bone in 4 places, skiing on Mt. Bachelor. That mountain is the devil................
