New Mexico Owners BS Thread

I was thinking the same thing considering my tires would be to big for it as it is. if Nick doesn't grab it let me know and ill come pick it up.

 

I can come get it on Sunday (evening), the only reason I said next week is to give people a shot who might be able to run it on their trucks.

 

If you grab it will you use the tire plate section?

 

If he needs it I can always cut you a new one!

 

I will have to remember, i may do a swing out setup on my bed rack.

 

x2, may need one too. spare strap doesnt quite cut it. shakes alot

 

Let me know. I wanna keep the CNC running as much as I can. No minimum order or anything like that. Will charge per the minute for cutting and then a simple material charge (these things cut fast!). Don't let that scare you, it would cost like $5 to $10 for a nice 3/16" wheel plate that is exactly how you want it. I haven't figured out my exact costs yet but it will be close to that.

@FlapJack935 straps are a good start but having a plate with some wheel studs is always going to keep the tire in place better. The race guys don't mind the tire moving a bit because it's all about speed with a tire change. But the first time you try to strap down a flat tire with one of the tire straps you will wish you had something different. These hold full and flat tires just as good!

 

Bed cage/spare tire holder gone!

On another note. I am looking for a trailer. Probably a single axle 6' x 10' approximately. Would entertain a dual axle as well. Anyone know someone selling something similar or have a trailer shop they recommend? The used ones on CL are only a couple hundred less than new ones so might just buy new. It's gunna make 4 or 5 trips back and forth between CA and here so I want something super reliable.

I was about to order new gears and I started second guessing myself on 4.56 or 4.88s. Which would you guys go with?

driving breakdown(trucks an Auto on 35x12.5s)
~40% 0-55mph
~30% 55-80
~30% offroad

 

What size tires weight? Armor?

plate front and rear, sliders.
bed rack when camping.

 

It's just personal preference im leaning toward the 4.56 after speaking with Steven at ECGS he said that's the best bet for the free way driving is 4.56 because when you get into the 4.88s your RPMs can start getting out of your comfort range 4.88 would be even better on the dirt but 4.56 is a more practical for DD from my understanding plus a lot of guys here are running 4.56 and don't seem to have any complaints.

 

I have 4.56's in mine. And I will admit that the RPM's are a bit high but i'm also into the skinny pedal quite a bit. I'd probably suggest 4.88's for the 35's and the amount of armor you have.
