it took a lot of persuading but he wanted to see my friend fall too. so he gave us one shot

 

hahahah ya theyll let you do something once.

 

Seriously I was waiting for this TSB! Haha. Hey what Grabbers you gettin the AT2?

 

Yeah Brian almost didn't make it out lol

 

I just ordered my glassworks TT bedsides <3

 

nope the red label grabbers

 

are you guys aired down in this pic

 

Yeah I was running 15 in front and 10 in the rear tires. Brian said he was running 10 all the way around and I'm not sure about Alma.

 

where did you guys get your flag from? i had to use a atv flag

 

So pissed I missed it. I came back up to Nor Cal friday for the summer and the first stop I made to visit my sis the starter pretty much died. So now my trucks in the shop getting a starter and a service New tires next I hope. General Grabber AT2's or just Grabbers?

 

Ha ha , I. Asked him this, and he told me because his friend called him and told him to slow down because of hwy patrol, he also said he's trying to get a 300 mile tank

 

just FYI... the grabbers blow nuts in sand... even when aired down a ton

i was getting bogged down in sand running about 12 PSI and my locker engaged... the grabbers just like to dig

 

98.97429 % of the time my grabbers will never even know what sand is

 

hahahaha and almost died backward going down a dune, redlined in first gear going 2mph up a hill and ya... it was fun though!!

ya i was aired down 10 rear 12 front. i think im going to go lower like 8 and 10

i have 4 whip flags at my house from not bring them and having to buy one. the one right now is attached to my bike so i didnt really need one for my truck

shouldve stayed man

 

Depends how much time you doing offroad

 

the grabbers a good tires... i'm still happy with mine, but they are getting louder, which is no surprise due to the large tread blocks and i hope you dont mind taking a hit on your MPG's because the grabbers a heavy ass tires

not to mention they are expensive... just giving you guys a heads up

 

Matt, you had the BFGs and these Generals. How would you compare both?

 

street manners, BFG's are better: smoother ride, less road noise, long tread life, been around forever, lighter tire therfore less strees on susp components and better MPG's... but the BFG AT's suck ass on wet roads

the grabbers are still good, they do have better off road traction and handling, but pretty much everybody spends alot more time on the road than the dirt... so it's up to you if the price of the tires, decrease in road manners, and shittier MPG's are worth it...

i'm thinking about switching back to BFG AT's...

 

Yeah I'm getting the 285 BFGs on my 17" sport wheels for my next set. The Grabbers AT2 look good (almost same tread) but they don't make a 285/70/17 for my case. Sux to think about dropping a G on tires! What about the other mods to come! lol


Oh and I dropped my PSI last two times at Pismo, did roughly 15psi front and 10psi back.

First trip guy that filled my tires said my bead was coming out in the front (2 days of ridin), second time my front tire was leaking after refill (seems as though sand got in between tire and rim...little bubble leaks)...so I payed $15 at a local shop there to put some glue around the rim and remount.

 

yes GG are heavier but the BFG's are more expensive in my case, i dont mind loss in mpg or noise, all to be expected when i looked at these,but latley ive been doing a LOT of offroading, say maybe 30% offroad 70% on road...
twice on a work week and saturday/sunday. in my case and in my opinion i think the GG would be better for me, but maybe not for someone else... i drive on
60% hard pack
15% medium/soft dirt
10% loose rock
10%mud
5%rock
<1%sand

i know it doesnt add up too 100% its like 101%
but just for an idea
