Long Travel BS Thread

Ya sick truck! I've been following his ig too. So badass having a prerunner in Japan. His friend has a way badass in tundra too.

 

how much would new bfgs be then? less then that? every place ive talked to has outrageous prices. trying to find some used for under 2k for sure.

 

what kind of bfgs?

 

the baja, the race version. 37x12.5x17

i found a guy who is selling them NEW for 550 a tire. which i think is still way too much.

wish i just had a nice friend who would hook it up with a deal.

 

Like mentioned before if you want the baja T/A's check out RDC or DR for used ones with most their tread for cheap.

 

Like I posted earlier they are a horrible tire for a dd/prerunner truck, expecially 37's, but if you want to be super sweet

ive heard good and bad about them on the street. obviously they are not for the street but i guess it all depends. i saw that post already, just waiting for a response from him. either i get theses or generals..or pro comp a/t's again....the other options are cheaper thats for sure, but I just wanted to see if I can find a better tire out there.

 

Cons-they are stupid heavy
they have shitty traction
very stiff side wall so airing down doesn't help, also harsher ride because of that
more stress on drivetrain from weight
more stress on hubs
suck in the sand

Pros- they don't get flats
They look super sweet trophy truck status

 

My truck goes into Solo on the 11th for the build (spring under bypasses/ 19" kit)...so now I would just be showing u a stock truck & parts. I left the desert in 2008/09 when I sold my last truck to help with the down payment on my house. Now i had the itch again so decided to go with a built Tacoma vs a stock Raptor ( I couldn't believe the premium companies are up charging for parts) I'll hold you over with pictures of my first truck. http://www.dezertrangers.com/vb/ranger/171115.htm ...Its the first truck in the post.

 

so pretty much a waste if your not a trophy truck then...

 

the grabbers are heavy if you are thinking of those...

im running 315-75-16 and i can feel the difference...

like Tyler said, the BFGs look pimp status, but personally, unless you are logging in a lot of dirt miles, they may not be the best option unless you got some deep pockets...

 

im really just trying to get away from the pro comps if possible, they are great tires but id like to try something different. ya they look pimp for sure...but for as much as im able to get out and use my truck it almost not worth getting the bfg's but...for the times when i do..hah.

 

yah, don't skimp on tires if you can help it... cuz the times that you do hit dirt, you don't want to be kicking yourself for cutting corners...

 

If You've got the money, and you want to look baller status...then by all means, go spend 2g's on tires that you'll use one a month as they are intended for!

 

i found a deal for 35's for 1500 and thats for 4 tires. brand new pretty much.

 

what rim size?

 

17
