Colorado B.S. Thread

It's all fun and dandy untill you get hit with an 8 point reckless driving ticket for hauling ass on a dirt road. Resist the urge...

 

Money is no issue. You bail yourself out, pay the fines and you have a license from one of the states that don't recognize points from out of state. That's how the rich fools did it for the gumball rally. IIRC there are quite a few states like this.

 

True....

 

I've always wanted to do stupid stuff like them.. i have my research done, just need the money to make it happen.

 

Like them... full chromoly chassis with A arm front and linked rear. Any motor of your dreams. A lot of $$ for sure

 

Is that a twig stuck through the sidewall of that BFG?

 

Sho is. They picked it up near goblin valley.

 

that's one way to gather campfire tinder.

 

Must be how @kashtyaatsi gathers it, and why he likes the tires.

 

The mall parking lot.

 

Duratrac?

 

I don't know, just pulled it off of google. I've killed every brand tire I have owned with a sidewall puncture excluding Bias Ply Super Swampers. Though I will say my old MTRs were really weak in the sidewall any radial tire is not a superstar in that department. If anyone besides @Star-Lord has a question why, google Bias Ply and Radial tire construction and you will see why.

 

I actually googled the Duratrac and the side walls match.

In all fairness, yes radials puncture easier. I had a 37" swamper take a 3" diameter dead tree through the side wall at 12psi. All the air went away immediately. That was the one time, I've mentioned it here before, that I didn't have a spare with me.

 

I'll have to see if I can scan in a picture from the mid 90s of a full rock stuck in the sidewall of my BFG MT. It was about 8" around that I pulled out of the Rocker Knocker rock pile. Insta-flat. That, to date, has been my worst sidewall puncture and is the reason I always carry a full sized spare with me. Driving back from Moab on 3 35" tires and one 30" tire was not fun, I was running loc-rites to boot.

 

Man that is an old pic, no one runs the white lettering to the outside since the 80's I think.

 

No one told me that!

 

The thing I leared about side wall with any tire. If you rub on any rock, it will slice it like a hot knife through butter. If you don't cut it your lucky. It's always in my mind on a daily basses. A 200-300 tire is nothing compared to a 3000-6000 tire. It's a mind set for me.

Basically what I'm saying is that if you slide on your side wall on stuff expect a cut no matter what if you walk away with a scratch your lucky. It's just what's going to happen.

 

Can't even count the number of times I've done this. Must be the luckiest person alive.

 

Everyone's luck runs out sometime. Plus your still young give a few more years of pressing your luck

 

Once I get a puncture I might be more careful, but I have a thick skull so we'll see.
