Can’t wait to get into the big snow!

 

I’ve also started in a redesign for the truck box

 

Going to aluminum, and going minimalist.

 

Frame will be 1”X2”x1/8” aluminum square tube. Tool box on back will carry all tools and 2 batteries, as well as onboard air. Dovetailed. And bobbed. Removable sides. Basically, my logger box weighs in at 600lbs. I’d like to remove 500lbs. Should be able to do it.

 

I have grooved and sipped a few tires, mainly big Intercos. But I have never tried studing them. How do you go about doing it? As the tire wears do you have to drive the stud body further down to keep them from being exposed and pulling out?

 

These are a screw in stud. The tires won’t see much for road travel, so I will be monitoring them to see if I have to drive them down a bit as time goes on.

Whew! Sub'd! It's nice seeing trucks mostly local to you to live vicariously through! Awesome rig man, inspiration for future plans for sure

 

Thanks. Iroks with studs would be unstoppable for winter wheeling.

 

With the roads here, I need to be able to get to and from the big snow. Home it’s all ice, all the time. They barely sand or plow here, and thankfully they don’t use salt or brine

 

You’ll have to come out this summer and do some wheeling with us!

 

Right on! I look forward to it; depends on where I will be for work and what the schedule is like. Keep you in the loop. Happy New Years, dude!

 

Happy New Years back at you!!

 

Now I finally have the story of those tires in the bed on the trail! Hahaha, nice!

What's the sipping tool look like? I thought it was just an angle grinder, but then I saw all the rubber on the floor. Is it just a heated wire or something that you pull through the lugs?

 

It’s a heated tire iron. Depending on which way I flip the blade, it’ll sipe or groove

 

I lent my groover out years ago and never got it back. I think this time I am going to try the wheel of death method. I am too old and beat up to spend a day hunched over tires.

It stinks. Oh my lawd, it do stink!! Not that my tire iron doesn’t! And the flying shredded rubber is nasty too!!

 

Lol. Neighbors will probably call me in to the fire department.

No way to use that tool to cut down wear bars and some of the carcass to get more mileage out of offroad tires. So groover is still king.
