DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Looks like BP just got some rain with more on the way possibly, watch them mud holes

 

I’ll be at the park around 8:30

 

so far its not bad. Its no power house but it gets where it needs to go. It is my first bike but ive ridden different bikes in the past.

 

Cool. A couple people in the Co thread were curious, and were considering getting one. I’ll tag you over there if you’re ok with answering a couple questions.

 

U comin or what

 

Soon bro, soon. Good to see the Duc out and about.

 

I need flatten my pinch weld also but the heat has been stopping me. Almost did it last night but ran out of time. Once thats done I need to re-mold my fender liner to stop the rubbing.

Had fun today out wheeling but damn it was hot. I'm ready for cooler days to really enjoy my time out wheeling(and camping)! I took almost no pictures leaving the phone in the truck but heres the few I have.
@spicytaco123tnt Sending it!


@Naveronski needing a quick tire change.


Unexpected caravan on the way home with @Zac of all trades.


Most of the group from TTR.

 

Looks like a good time, after the clouds left the area it started to warm up real quick

 

Does @Naveronski blow tires every time he’s out there? Or am I thinking of someone else?

 

Him at that damn front drivers tire... geez man...

 

2 tires at BBRSP
1 at Gilmer
1 today at Bridgeport

Meh.

 

Maybe time for E loads? Are you slicing the sidewalls or knocking them off the rim?

 

Great meeting everyone that came out. I had a blast. Looking forward to more trips and mod days

 

Get you some F loads

 

@SuperBad How are you liking those D load MTRs city driving?

Edit: do you feel strange shifting and what not? There’s a thread about a new TSB I’m going to have Freeman do when I get my last free service done. Supposedly fixes it, but I guess we’ll find out

 

Theres a few options to move up from P rated tires. I'm now on my 2nd set of tires that I've purchased I still haven't gone to an E. So far I've been lucky with no slashed sidewalls though my c rated Ko2's did take quite a few gashes that came close to cutting holes. I am thinking about getting a 2nd set of wheels to run p rated tires on the street due to the cost of my current tires.

They seem good for city driving minus the mpg loss. Its probably only a 1mpg decrease but my trucks heavy, Switching to an MT from an AT increased the noise some but not bad so far. They feel a little stiffer but it could be from having to high of a PSI. I had them a few lbs lighter on the way home and it seemed to help. I need to chalk test them tomorrow to find the right PSI. The biggest issue I noticed today wheeling was the weight change from c-rated 265's to the d rated 285's on top of all the other weight that I've added. My trucks gotten heavy and doesnt like to turn the tires in 4hi. Had to use 4 low a few times to get enough power to the ground on a few climbs. Regearing to 4.88's(I might as well add a front locker at the same time) may need to move up the mod list. I was hoping to wait until I wanted to go to 35's but I dont like having to use 4 low on easy steep climbs. No clue when I will get the money for gears ATM. Can someone give me money for gears/front locker? Maybe instead of gears a supercharger could fix it, at least if Magnuson would release one already. Maybe I should start playing the lottery.

 

Mine are P rated right now. Went with those because I’m doing 20-25k mi/yr.
2014 with 101,000mi, but I was deployed for most of a year.

P285/70/17 Cooper AT3’s, old version. Apparently they have a new one that is beefier.

I’ll be moving to 255/80/17 ST MAXX when these die... but until then I’ll keep getting free* replacements from Discount.

 

You’re gonna love the ST MAXX

 

I hear ya man, there just aren’t very good options in a C load imo. I looked for a while before getting ST MAXX.

 

Well, I did ask for your thoughts

I’ve been on the fence about waiting for 285s. I don’t have a rear locker either... so 285s, lockers, regear, new suspension, armor, winch, and let’s not forget the lights... yikes!

I also need to justify my purchases with the knowledge of how to use them properly, nahm sayin’? I’m not trying to Shadow Runner myself or nothing...
