TacoFMS' attempt at a build thread

no pics of the Bighorn MTs aired down to 15psi in the 39 pages.. Im disappointed

 

I don't take pictures while wheeling. All the pics in here of me wheeling the truck are from someone else.

 

I took a call one time.. then I drove over a stump, and it hit everything under the truck. Never again.

But I didnt see any pictures of the Bighorns aired down

 

Barely any pics of the bighorns period. Most of the trips I had with them we were too busy wheeling to stop, and if we stopped then it was just to scut a line on a trail.

 

i'm not as knowlegable about this stuff as you guys are but i was under the impression that airing the tires down allows them to absorb the terrain thus allowing greater traction and letting the tire absorb obstacles creating less dammage and wear and just the opposite for leaving it fully inflated.

 

yes from my understanding too. But for some reason, my tires just keep getting torn on stock friendly trails.

How are your wheels/tires @Casper66 ? havent heard from you lately

 

Driver choices...

 

MT tires for daily driving now.. ATs for off road

 

What are talking about? If you are trashing MT'S offroad on stock friendly trails what do you think is gonna happen with you and AT's when you go on the same trails?

 

mine are fine for now as i haven't had a chance to leave the asphalt in a while that may change tomorrow. with my p rated at's i don't expect much but they sure as hell ride great. as always i just have to watch and pick where i'm going as the trails i drive up have some sharp and hidden rocks in places. i'll get some better ones when these wear out

 

why not an agressive at for all around driving and be done with it. all the new agressive at tires seem to be designed to ride quietly and perform well in all conditionds. i can't understand why you'd be having these issues with such a heavily lugged mt tire especially with an e rating which delivers such a tough sidewall. if you are airing down is it enough? is it even necassary on the trails your on (idk I've never been there)? are you airing back up before you leave?

 

the Bighorns are not E rated sidewall

Im just messing around. If I tear any more sidewalls, I will swap in the ST Maxx, one by one

 

my bad i thought all the agressive mt tires were e rated tires i would think at least c or d which should be pretty tuff

 

i looked them up they're a d rated tire with a 3-ply sidewall that's a pretty damn tuff tire. and resonably priced may be put on my short list

 

Still childs play for a tire.

 

in which regard is it child's play explain please. learning here is that in refference to the tire or the conditions in which used.

 

E rated Toyo or Cooper

Best tires out there, period.



Let the commence

 

The tire being C or D rated and the stock friendly trail.

 

i'll be in the hunt for a good at tire in a couple of months and justin and i have been having that discussion. my limits are the 2.7l engine and i run 285/70/17 tires i'm trying to keep the weight down a little but from what i've been seeing the difference is minimal. i'd like to get a good look at the new c rated nitto ridgegrappler.

 

Finally installed the first part of my rock lights. Only took about 6 months or so to get around to doing it.


I will add some for the rear later and possibly something for the front as well.
