    gootta thank John for that one

    thank ya :D

    6 lbs heavier than the other tires i was looking at in the same size

    $25 a tire

    they should be plenty durable. it's on a proven sidewall, and beneath the tread is twice as thick as a regular tire because of the way they remold them. so really, it's the tread pattern and on road grip that I will have to find out.


    what's a grenade jacket? :eek:

    blowin all the moniez on the ATV eh?

    just set up an appointment with firestone for saturday. putting on the 4 new ones, and usingthe two best of the 295 terra grapplers as spares. and getting yet another allignment :rolleyes:

    also talked to Kevin at ATO, and he's gonna get an extra set of high clearance bumper frame mounts cut with his next batch so I can be on my way with building my hi-clearance rear bumper :)

    I was wondering how long it would be before you got around to the rear bumper.

    yeah.....it's been banged around for a while now and starting to look pretty bad. trailer hitch has been the only thing that's saved it. however ironically, the trailer hitch is also why i haven't built one yet. I finally have enough downtime from towing that i can do without a hitch if needed during the build.

    I'll have to look at yours. I do have plans for a really strong one though. Towing integrity is a huge priority.

    it'll be a couple weeks before I can start. kevin is on vacation for a week aound the 4th, so i won't get the brackets until after that.


    on another note, I lost a bump stop lol. not sure where, looks like the heat from welding it to the u-bolt plate melted it a little too much and it fell off of it's base somewhere along the way......hope it didn't go on the highway and do any damage :eek:

    high sped ring would be fun......or you can swing by florida sometime. take the girls to disney and make a side trip to ocala national forest. to give an idea, i met a guy last year who used to train for the baja 500 there back in the late 80s/early 90s.

    good point, i had forgotten about that.
    i think i need to determine mounting location before anything, and go from there. 2 inch bumps in the front for sure, but i'm still on the fence for the rear between 2 and 4 inch. thinking about geting 4 inch and shimming them down to 2 inchers so it's reversible.
