Wyoming B.S. Thread

Not sure you can fit 36s even with the tubbing. I know Silas did 37s somehow though..No idea how those things fit. Probably have to retub again. And really at that point im not sure its worth it on the IFS anyways especially with our dinky lil front diff.

Konsta also has an atlas..so he has super low gearing so wont have the problem you do. Unless you get one too.

Im sure you could sell the 4.56s pretty easily. Not sure you could sell it to cover an ARB lol anyone who pays 900 bucks for an e locker is a moron. only worth like 3-400 tops in my book.

 

Not sure you saw the GB that is going on, he quoted me a ARB locker too and are good prices with shipping included.

Monte, does Yukon make good gears?

 

Yeah they are nice. Nitro gears I think set a bit nicer..but they are pretty much the same gear.

 

Friday night....opera night. La Traviata. yay.

Anyone doing anything cool this weekend?

 

Goat just got some new rubber and an alignment for some very last minute road trip prep.

Leaving for Fort Collins around midnight with Ty to go pick up his new ride.

 

Your taking the goat that far? Dang. And wth did he get this time haha

 

Should be interesting. It's a 4th gen Cummins this time lol.

 

I came across a great deal on some Cooper STT Pros that I could not pass up. So much for waiting on BFG to get off the snide.

 

Went and looked at a wedding venue today for Lizzy and I.

Then I am suppose to look at a new place to rent this weekend and may possibly be the house we buy if I get a permanent position.

In between that I'll probably go spend some more time at the river with Ash and enjoy the perfect fall weather/colors.

 

A 4th gen?? Wtf. Why? Haha

Nice!!! What size?? I think you'll like those. From what I've seen they work great and last pretty good.

Sounds like a fun packed weekend. What's wrong with the current rental?

 

Yeah, I think they are worth a try.

I went phat. 285/75r16s

 

Only .7 inches wider. Or something.

Bit shorter though haha

 

Maybe. Manufacturer numbers rarely match real world. Cooper says they are 32.99" tall so

 

Yeah the real world I've seen 285s are pretty short. Shorter then a 33 on a 15 inch wheel. Who knows though

 

There are so many ways to measure a tire, it is difficult to compare. I mean, is the number that is listed on the truck or is it mounted on the wheel but no weight of the truck on it? Or is it free standing and not on a rim and no weight on it? :not sure:

FWIW, I will compare the size of the BFGs with the Coopers (mounted) as much as is possible so there is a reasonable possible comparison.

 

I just remember when I had 33s and would park by 285s they were always smaller

 

Picking up some 255/85r16 KM2's from @drr tomorrow...



Installation race @Digiratus !

 

Ego does not count.

 

Nice!

No doubt. Both your rigs are gonna look great with the SCS wheels

No im being serious.

See here.

Mine were taller though. He commented on it.

Now..granted. Who fucking knows when you compare brand A to brand B. or even different wheel sizes. You are right, totally impossible to really meassure. I've heard people say BFG run small and Goodyears tall..and then other say the exact opposite

So whatever haha

When you mounting yours? I wanna see the red head with those purty wheels

 

I think you’ll enjoy them Mike. They’ve been treating me well so far.
