"Wheeler's Anonymous"

DO ITTTTTT

 

this website and all you guys have "encouraged" me to spend ridiculous amounts of money one way or another. I guess in a way, this is me giving back and saying thanks!

 

personally with all my purchases, ive always made sure im not going to be left broke, or simply made sure ill be able to take care of the important stuff.

 

My thought on it is....you are in new territory with the 35's, lockers etc.... go practice with what you got. Save the money for a potential repair and trash the rims you got messing around. Get the scs rims after that..... unless the EAF horn is blowing. Lol just my .02

 

Then buy them fucking things and call that bitch done.

 

Based on my experience, you won't get much use out of beadlocks on 35's while crawling. I've tried going down to single digits on Dishpan/Holcomb/Gold mountain and was getting hung up A LOT. I get more use out of mine driving fast aired down really low, really smooths things out. With your short wheel base you might be able to get more out of them than me though. OTOH now that you are double locked, traction will rarely be an issue, you're more likely to get stuck on your frame/diff/skids/whatever than having all 4 tires spinning in loose dirt.

 

I run 13-15psi going 40mph+ through washes sliding around corners....and my truck weighs 6800lbs

 

I cranked a rock on the side of the trail so hard back in January I thought I fucked something up BAD. When I hit the rock it shifted the front end of the truck laterally a couple inches. I thought the wheel would have been damaged, however it just creased the tire over the beadlock ring and somehow didn't pinch/cut through the tire, but it left a black mark where the rubber pinched over.

 

Anyone in here thinking of going long travel want to buy my used coilovers? I have Icon 2.5x8 RR with king 16x3x600 coils I'm trying to get rid of because the life of a college kid doesn't have much room for LT at the moment.

That's pretty much what I've been doing. It's a bit of work and definitely expensive, but there are ways to save a buck here and there. Like with these, have them rebuilt, re-valved, and they'll be right as rain. I still have some intention of going LT one day, but not any time soon.

Icon gets a bad rap for having less corrosion resistance and a few less component treatments but the performance seems to be pretty good. Nothing a bit of clear coat can't fix.

@dtaco06 I bought these off of Vin at SCS so if you wanted to pair them with your SRT8s, it would be appropriate.

 

NOW who’s encouraging who!! I’m with @itaro though. Just do it

 

Idk what he has anymore, but I just like encouraging people to spend their money on cool stuff

 

no no no. it is @Mike likes Tacos who can't handle people having a better truck than him.... and me.

 

37s

 

Naw. Drop bracket lift .

 

I think I'm winning now.

 

currie rear axle, I hear they are the sex.

 

I’m gonna be the first one to SAS their truck so meh, You boys go play with your LT and shit.
