There is a lot of dirt road around riverton area we could explore, and we can always go have fun where i was at today Most of it is all dry around here which is nice. There's also some fun stuff near the wind river canyon by birdseye pass.

 

....ummm....not sure..maybe. Just won't be able to turn well..

cab cop is what will limit you. And the bumper probably.

Yea just like in my build. If you follow that you'll be golden.

Just cut the cab mount too.

i don't think they are rated wrong.

Spoonman see deep snow, but that is TOTALLY different then the snow you'll be driving on. YOu'll be on hard pack most the time. And Ice. And they DO suck on that. Very badly. Worse then KM2s im told.

KM2s do good in deep snow too. But hard snow..no grip at all. MTs never do good on that due to the big lugs.

so, they will suck in that stuff. Just adjust your driving. haha

 

I would be down to go anywhere. Well, once the gears get here . Ill be curious to see how much it sucks trying to get back to Laramie from cheyenne on stock gears with the 315's.

I am not sure how far or if shipps would want to come out. He will chime in soon enough probably.

Also speaking of Josh. If you decide on addicted for sliders then Joey and I are down to make a weekend of it. He will probably actually need notice ahead of time because he works but Ill be free. Hopefully mid- late April something opens in CO.

 

I plan on ripping the other half of the flares off and chopping as much of the cab mount as I can. I won't be able to box it back in though . I really need to learn how to weld and be able to do something simple like that. Seems like that will be enough to get me home. Ill just have to watch for bumps.

I got that info from your build but wanted to double check. I should be able to do that just fine then. I am mostly worried about not getting a clean smooth line but I will just be extra careful when sanding it down.

As far as rating. I was worried about the deep snow. The roads have never bugged me here. Generally they are plowed well enough that in 4wheel drive I can get traction from at least one tire. When I was asking about snow I meant the deeper powder like what snowy gets. I haven't found a tire that handles icy stuff super well. My treadwrights did better than the km2's but it wasn't by a whole lot. If I didn't go up that hill first I probably would have had just as hard of a time as Josh.

The reviews I read said they just dug straight down or couldn't get traction. Most people I have drove with in the snow always seem to give it to much power. Of course you wont get traction if you floor it right a way and you will just end up digging a hole doing that too. It might help that the 4banger doesn't have tons of power too.

 

Here you go, more pictures and a video of a co2 fillup

Man that looks great. The sidewalls really stand out on these tires


How do you fill up the CO2 tanks? Is it just an air compressor or is there a fancy way of doing it?

 

yea you will have to be careful too as they are plastic unlike mine with are metal. So may be a bit trickier to get the perfect finish.

we can weld up a new plate for you this summer if ya want. won't take long.

yea snow driving is tricky. Either way though..im not expecting good results.

 

you have to get co2 filled at a soda distributor or welding supply shop.

 

i get mine at the pepsi distrubuter in Powell Gage. was 18 bucks.

 

I just realized we could take the most bad ass tire shot ever this summer.

Marc: 285/75r16
Dad: 305/70r17
Gage: 315/75r16
Me: 35x12.5r15

All MTRs hahaha

be swwweeet!!

 

yup that's gonna have to be done at some point! Plus Infra (Jason)!

 

what does he have???

 

Same tire as me.

 

Hmm, gotcha. I couldn't remember how it was filled up. I was hoping just a arb compressor could do it. I remember Mike talking about needing a tank to run air tools though. I need to eventually look into that. I wouldn't mind having CO2 as well though. Sure does work quick.

So many MTRs . Would be a sweet shot to get all the sizes together. Wyoming is gonna have some bad ass rigs that's for sure.

 

Keep an eye out for tanks on CL or something, should be able to find a decent one on there that doesnt leak idk. Its just so nice and makes airing down a much easier decision haha cuz the fillup takes 2 seconds.

 

I think we will have quite a rep after this year..haha

No you can't use a compressor to fill a CO2 tank..well..i guess you could..but it would be air, not CO2.

Mike has the big dual ARB compressor and its supposed to be able to run air tools with no tank.

But a Tank would mean your not running the compressor ALL the time so be easier on your trucks alternator and battery.

the compressor you got. You will need a tank to run tools.

 

exactly..

plus...we will all be waiting on you if you don't get CO2..lol...probably to the point Marc and i just fill the last two tires you still haven't gotten to yet so we can move on haha

 

Ya, never really stressed for time but it would be nice to have a smaller tank around. I don't want to end up with like and have a broken compressor .

 

Yea Gage, a 10 15 or 20 would be good but 20 lb tank best since you're gonna have big tarrs! haha I'm not wasting my CO2 to fill a huge 35! I need that for my horn

 

Bingo!! hahahahaha
