NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Whoa that might work. i need to make sure the sizes arent crazy different and ill let you know. The AWD doesnt like anything more than like 1/2"

 

Yeah sadly you only had 4 and ive been ridin dirty with no spare for two months

 

i have no idea what happened to the 5th

 

Yeah ill bet

 

Sorry to be a choosing beggar, but can you throw a tape on that and tell me the actual dimension of it?

 

you plan on rolling it for a few k miles or just limp home?

 

Just limp to a shop but I’m reading horror stories about people using a new tire as a spare

 

i see. at least they aren't pizza cutters, i hear they blow beads...

 

Let me know when you want to go, I'll take my friends land cruiser unless mine is done.

Ohh the good ol mid travel days!

 

Better than blowing engines I suppose

 

Unplug that wheel speed sensor.

 

Oh? News to me.

 

Daaaaaamn. That was cold.

I like you.

 

@NorthwestCruiser is this him at 1:22?

 

Doesn’t help my central differential

 

I won't pretend to be super up on that thing, I'm just looking at general operation. Gears are gears are gears, right? As far as I've read all abs/traction control systems just throw a light and turn off themselves if one sensor takes a shit. So you can trick it if you have to throw one odd size tire on. And especially with a center diff, a half inch won't matter for the actual gears.

 

My personal experience with this is not on the good side. The larger diameter tire came apart. It wasn't pretty. All the same size tire, I just never rotated the spare in. So a basically brand new bfg to ones with 50k miles on them.

I was young and dumb/lazy.

 

well shit maybe it's time to start rotating it in.
