NYCO's '06 Boosted Blue Betty

its actually not too bad.... but regardless because the dent, it isnt balanced

 

yea after seeing the footage though i definitely have this high on my priority list....may just have to have you swap out the bearing and u joints jace...i'll just duct tape some washers on the dent to even it out

 

remind me not to follow u

 

but it'll be gorilla tape

 

um...... no lmao

 

just got an email back from interco..

the Trxus 33x12.5x17 will fit my 17x8 wheel!

on their site the rim width states 17x8.5-11, so i wanted to get their input before getting my hopes up..

they measure the tire at 33.2x12.3...so with the narrower wheel i would image the height to be more and the width to be less, so it should be a nice bump up in height without much width gain...and i've heard amazing reviews on this tire on the rocks, rain and kicks ass in the snow/ice...treadlife i would expect 30k-40k out of them too

just moved up on my list!

#1 Trxus 33x12.5x17
#2 MT/R 305/70/17

wildcards
STT 295/70/17 or 285/70/17
Dynapro MT 285/70/17

 

on another note...stopping by rocky mountain driveline tomorrow morning to get a quote on a new driveshaft...

hope they can produce a full 2 piece assembly with a new carrier bearing and get it done all in one shot...new bearing, new ujoints and a proper driveshaft

 

concern i have with the 1piece is clearance issues...i mean i've already dinged this driveshaft...a one piece would have more of the shaft exposed..no?

 

the heck ar Trxus tires????

also...why not 35x12.5s haha

no way. Too long a wheel base and unless he get dual traction bars or 4 link to help protect it..not worth it. Would get destroyed haha

 

really don't want to go through the extra steps needed for 35s...i want my stock fenders, i don't want to hack the shit outta my firewall and i want to stay over geared some

trxus MT from interco

exactly my concerns with the 1 piece

 

Those look nice. Price wise cheaper??

 

about the same

$330-340/ea


should be able to get discounts on both options too...



swampers usually aren't the cheapest options

 

I don't think I'd do a 1 piece since I have the limo, but in an access cab I think it might be alright. Just take a piece of 2x4 or something and hold it in a straight line from diff to transfercase and see how it looks compared to 2 piece

 

i'll have a chat with the driveline guys tomorrow and see what it looks like...no time before then to check so it'll hve to wait until tomorrow morn at the shop

 

Don't forget to think about the weight of the TRxus MT. I believe that size is in the 70+ lb. range, and 2-ply sidewall. Although I would bet the Swamper 2-ply wall is as strong as other's 3-ply walls.....

 

yup...71lbs per their site..

versus the 64lbs for the MT/R...

definitely something to think about...and yes i would expect the swampers would be very durable on the trail

plus the MT/R at that size is considered a D rating and the Trxus would be closer to an E...so it lacks kevlar sidewall but would be as tough if not tougher on the trails against damage

 

Kevlar or not tho..still a good year tire. I've heard of 3-4 guys still blowing the side walls on them.

 

i've heard the same...mixed reviews on most any tire you research though...

if you dig hard enough you'll find someone who had an issue with them..

 

plus i think the Trxus would look bad ass on the truck


both are gnarly looking tires

 

True. But good year and their sidewalls just never see, to go well.. Idk. I'm just not a fan f good years I guess haha
