New Belgium used to give awesome tours for free if you ever find yourself in Northern CO

 

With all I've learned over the years turning wrenches, I don't know shit about tires, other than deciphering the size and changing them on the road with tire spoons


I've never bought a single tire in my life that was brand new



Is peeling a tire sticker really as satisfying as I hear it is?

 

@Wulf

I know you went through ECGS for your front diff but what locker did you go with?

Not decided that I'd add a front locker, but tossing around the idea.

 

Oof those things bite so much for a non specialty ipa.. i just got heartburn looking at that photo

 

I think the tire shop likes to peel them off for you these days

some places just leave em on for you to drive through

 

Dales is good stuff. I still usually get the Trader Joes 6 packs but if I go to the grocery store I pick that up, or Voodoo Ranger or Lagunitas depending on which is on sale.

Dales is good for the price. Our grocery store stocks a ton of craft beer but charges crazy money for 4 or 6 packs so I never buy them.

 

ARB. It has always locked up instantly

 

Best thing about new tires is the little rubber hair looking things on the tread and sidewall, also the rubber smell. Both of those go away after a few hundred miles though

 

Only satisfaction would be, seeing the vent spews on a new set

 

Jinx

 

Is that what those hair follicle looking things are lol

 

G'dammit I was afraid you'd say that

 

if I was to do it again I wouldn't mess with adding an e locker to the rear with an 8.4. I would have kept the welded diff or gone ARB there as well.

I know the armchair wheelers always complain about "airline issues" but the locker locks up faster and unlocks without issues as well

 

Thats lame ... I'll be awhile before I buy new tires for this truck, I wanna upgrade everything else that should last longer than 40k miles and finish spending all that coin


Cause I know myself well enough to know I'm going to be pissed watching 1k worth of rubber wear away under my feet

 

This is well deserved

 

I am very interested to see how my setup is gonna work...

Do a harrop. It'll be what I go with when I regear the front and back

 

you should have plenty of traction
