My truck is that trick?!?! Haha, I haven't done shit too it, but get really pissed off that my MTR's are not round...

[yogiaz]

I dont agree... especially if he has a 5spd. I think the crawler enables you to be much much much easier on the vehicle. You dont have to rev up the rpms and pop the clutch to get over shit. It enables the driver to slowly choose the correct line and take it easy on the truck. Yes... if the driver has no clue how to wheel...he could get the CV's in trouble real quick. But I think in Bob's case it will work out better than before.

Are you a member of the "can't drive over 55mph" club now too???

I'm hoping after I swap out my bent rear housing and shafts mine will smooth out a bit........as it is right now I feel like I've been operating a Jack-Hammer after I drive the truck!

[Tacominator]

BTW, Ron your truck looks tight, even though you were a PRICK when I first met you :flipoff1: I give you props- you do good work!

[yogiaz]

Thats why I went back to BFG's. I have always had trouble with MTR's for the 3 or 4 years that I owned them. When I went back to BFG's my street ride improved signifigantly. I know they are not as good for sidewall puncture as the MTR's. But I have the no questions asked road hazzards. So I dont really care! LOL My truck is my daily driver and I personally choose to have a tire that is going to perform well on road.

I'll have to take a pick of my bumper when I get it mounted this weekend. Its a copy of yours. I sent Demello pics of it and had him build me one. I was too lazy to do it myself this time around. lol So thanks!

I am bad with remembering people... but have we actually met before?

Well that answers my question... We have actually met before? Im sorry... but you need to jog my memory... I am bad with names. I remember faces. When did we meet? And what did I do to be a prick. I would not put it beyond me... and I have changed my ways quite a bit the past couple years. Im gonna post some pics of the truck tonight. It looks freakin awesome! Im just giddy about it! Even shelly was all excited at how great it drove on the road. :)

Oh yea.. thus the reason I have been busting my ass every weekend to have it ready. There is alot of shit that needs to be done when going from completely stock to completely built rig.

LAME! I wish I knew this long ago I would have got 17" rims... I'll just go to discount and raise a hellstorm till they get me some fresh ones and I'll try again- it was weird the ones I have were shaved from the factory probably in an attempt to make them round. I'm running equal in the tires, $70 worth, I doubt the discount tards are gonna like that...

[yogiaz]

Ok... well if I was an ass then I appologize. Its not the first time I have heard that. And I have tried to be better about it nowdays. Anyway... we (the family and I) look forward to wheeling with you at the Con. I will be in the Monday group because I want to wheel with Demello. We want to take our time and hang in the back of the group. Control our own pace! hehe So Im sure we will hook up sometime up there.

I just never had luck with my MTR's... they would start out great... but after the first tire rotation they absolutley sucked. I just could not stand them any longer. It was not a slight vibration either... it was a horrible wobble. They freakin sucked!

"I'm running equal in the tires, $70 worth"

Dude............try airsoft pellets from Wally world.........I spent about $18 to balance all five of my tires...........make sure they accurately road force those things also............made all the difference in the world with mine........I never did wind up having to send them back to Maxxis..........I just had someone competent balance them for me! :)

I heard that's a great idea, I also hear that once with equal etc in the tires you can't balance them with a machine?

They had no problems with mine with the pellets in them.........got them all within spec even with bent rims!!!

My biggest problem was the fact that the first Discount that did the road force on them, the idiot running the machine rotated them 180° of where they should have been.........thus making them ride like a dribbling basketball filled with concrete!!!

[yogiaz]

What gears are you running???

Mine does alright with 5.29's on my little 4banger (it's no race car) but it hold it's own most of the time.

[Tacominator]

I have 4.88s, It does ok, but at 75 I have the bouncy tires, full throttle to do that and some kind of driveshaft vibration- I'm running a one piece driveshaft. The damn thing weighs 5200 lbs which can't help anything.

I think I'll just add a bunch of airsoft pellets to the equal I have now and see if it fixes it. I peeled off all the weights which may not have been a good idea after adding the equal- I checked the rims they are very true- 20 thousands runout...

[yogiaz]

I feel for you... sounds like you are having the exact same problem that I was. I even bought new rims at one point becasue I did not want to believe it was the tires.

As for driveshaft... Im thinking this time around Im gonna stick with the 2 piece drive shaft. I seemed to have better luck with it that way. The one piece was long and kinda hard to keep balanced. The slightest little tap with give me some good vibes.

With my 5spd and 4.88's I could easly do 85 or 90mph but my tire balancing was always the x factor that made me keep my speed down. Anway... I found that 65-70 gave me the best gas mileage. I'll probably do 70mph all the way to the con.

With 5.29's, I'm running 2,200-2,300 rpms at what my speedo reads as 60mph, but the fastest I've had the balls to push it so far has been 75ish mph with it floored. I'll be stepping up to 5.43's in the new rear I'm having built, I figure that will do the trick for me. I'm just hoping I can make this (my third) Toy rear last until I can fund the new 9" rear. The pellets, equal or anything else will only work properly up to about 65mph for most applications.......wheel weights and equal/pellets or the combo of the three is a bad idea also (I'm sure you already know)

[Tacominator]

I don't know, remember you're the one who started these damn tire vibration problems, wouldn't have happened if you got yours right the first time, DAMN YOU!!! So you think I should take out all the sheet and run just airsoft or you think these tires are just fawked or am I asking too many questions without explanation?

[Tacominator]

I feel for you... sounds like you are having the exact same problem that I was. I even bought new rims at one point becasue I did not want to believe it was the tires.

I guess I'll just have to try another set, I was talking to Robert Canon and he had the same setup I did with no vibes up until about 80 or so...

So you think I should take out all the sheet and run just airsoft or you think these tires are just fawked or am I asking too many questions without explanation?

I would try 10 oz's of pellets or add pelets to what your equal to get 10 oz's (based on the chart for you tire size here...http://www.innovativebalancing.com/BigTirechart.htm) and have them road force balanced again.

I'm running a combo of the innovative beads (6 oz's) and airsoft pellets to get 14 oz's in mine and the front does pretty good until I hit 70 mph or so. I won't know how the rear handles until I get the unbent housing under the truck. The beads/pellets/equal will take some getting used to as they use rotational mass to balance the tire.......sometimes it takes a few seconds for them to settle down and do thier thing. Mine are touchy because of the crown of the tire being so extreme so I have to run them at 35psi to keep the stuff "flowing" properly.

[Tacominator]

While on my trip I ran up the psi to about 35 or so and it helped a lot. I have 8 oz of equal right now, they can force balance them with the equal in there??

[FAUX X 4]

They need whatever you're going to use to balance the tire in there before a road force balance.....and don't let them tell you any different......and yes your 37's will fit in the machine! :)

If you have trouble, you can always make a trip up here and go to my guy.....I know it's a "little" out of the way, but he deals with this issue often ( he runs 40" MTR's on his Blazer with only air soft pellets and they are smooth as silk)

[Tacominator]

I'm reading the faq on innovative balancing, they say that I might just have tires that are out of round. I guess I should force balance them and try it. I may run up there to your guy if you're willing to hold my hand :o

If the tires are out of round, Discount should warranty them for you no problem, but most stores won't do that without trying the proper tecniques first......some will just tell you to "go pound sand becuase they can't balance a tire that big".......that's not the case.....it just takes someone that knows what they are doing!

Unfortunately, that's the BS most of us have to deal with.....when in fact it is just becuase Discount deals with an insane amount of whiners that complain about there 52" interco ground hawgs not balancing well enough on their super duty's......Most Discounts (ufortunately for us) just won't warranty as easily anymore. You either have to find a Discount that has reliable help or deal with the manufacturer first.

This is sounding better and better, I'm sick of discount- and sick of women!! Haha!!

[yogiaz]

What ended up happening was I drove with them that way for months.... If I kept it about 65 it was almost barable. Anything faster than that was horrible. Finally I said fuck it and bought the BFG's. I have not regretted it a bit. MTR's are great onroad.. but way to heavy for daily driver tires in my opinion. I think with the reduced weight of going with Au rims this time around and back to BFG's... I will have a much better and enjoyable on road ride.

Yeah... once in a while you can find a person who actually gives a shit. The unfortunate thing is that those types of people dont stick around long and move on to something bitter and better. All I can say good about discount is they usually have the best price without shopping around, and one of their stores is always going to have my tire in stock. OH yea.. and they have never givin me any shit about damage done to my tire. Even when I have taken 3 tires in for repair. LOL

Except for wear issues due to my crippled IFS I never had problems with my MTR's....they alway's ballanced well......hell that's why I have 33" MTR's ony daily driver now.....they wear well and balance well.

It has been my experince now with these Maxxis that it just takes a slight bit of improper balance on the rim and they will bouce all over the place......you just have to find the sweet spot......most places don't want to go through the hassle. :mad:

[TBob]

yea - fried the clutch with 50k miles. I think the crawler will help a bunch. I can definately see it being a potential problem if I'm not careful.

[FAUX X 4]

What ended up happening was I drove with them that way for months.... If I kept it about 65 it was almost barable. Anything faster than that was horrible. Finally I said fuck it and bought the BFG's. I have not regretted it a bit. MTR's are great onroad.. but way to heavy for daily driver tires in my opinion. I think with the reduced weight of going with Au rims this time around and back to BFG's... I will have a much better and enjoyable on road ride.

Yogi

I agree totally......if you let MTR's get a little chewed up from bad alignment or balance they are miserable. I love the fact that my Au rims weigh alot less than steelies......they tend to balance better also (at least in my experince)

[Tacominator]

Shut up bob, we jacked the $hit out of your stupid thread, haha!

[FAUX X 4]

No, but if I can sell separately I will.

Just checking......I was going to give congrats if you had!

........if you still have them a a year or so I may be interested! LOL

[yogiaz]

Oooooppppsss.... I meant Al rims.... Au rims would be very expensive! LOL

That's mostly driver error though.....I'm sure the crawler won't help compensate for that! LOL

[yogiaz]

Wow.. thats more than I thought... I wonder if I should just do mine myself. All I need to do is shorten it.

I think your talking to me - on the driveline price. Shortning should be less that 1/2 the price. Call Steve and ask him.

I think Ti rims would be the boom! STronger than steel.. yet extreamly light! Yeah baby! Just say no to rock rash.

Truck looks good (a bit shiney) but real good......and no more black steelies! :D

Thanks... I went with the lighter rims this time. I liked the thinking that Shane had regarding them. Although Im gonna be "blingy" and keep them polished. No powder coating for these wheels. hehe

Those wheels fit the look of the new truck nicely! :)

I still like my :blingblin wheels.......although they lost their luster a few years ago! I have beat the ever living crap out of them and they still hold air and balance well.

[yogiaz]

Yeah... I agree... they are simple and not too flashy. For a shiney wheel they still have that rugged look to them.

Yogi

Oh yea... I was test driving the truck last night and setting the speedo (dakota digital), I got off at Kyrene and the 202 to turn around and head back home. I almost stopped over... it was about 8:30 and i thought that might be too late especially unannounced.

which group? the adventure group leaves sunday afternoon - not sure what they are meaning by "adventure"... I just want to wheel with the cool guys, you guys know any?

[grumpy]

Hey... what did they end up charging you for each shaft? I need to have my front shavt shortened. Im guessing around a buck ten?

Yogi

when you talk to Steve make sure to tell him you are w the toy guys. he's cutting us a little break.

[yogiaz]

Not at all.... because when I was finished fixing it... the truck was in better condition than it was before. Honestly. But it did have something to do with it becasue I got lots of insurance money... and that money enabled me to buy a double cab and swap the truck. :)

Yogi

I'm trying to figure out what is the difference "run" / distance wise between the runs.
I would like to run as much as possible.

[yogiaz]

I think the first 3 are all about the same. I think you should do the slow group... you will get to expierence everything without feelign rushed. Its beautiful up there... you will definatley want to stop and enjoy the area, take pictures, and just relax. I dont go just to wheel wheel wheel.. . I want to relax and enjoy... its my summer vacation.

Sure did... here are pics of the repair job.

http://www.ericksonsonline.com/4x4/crash/index.html

And a few pics of the new TTORA member wheeling it in NorCal. He is going to be on the con with us too.

The truck was not totaled... I cashed out with an $8k check. Costed about $1700 to fix the truck, build a new axle for it, and have a new front driveshaft made. The truck looked great.... as you can see from the pic it was completely fixed with new parts and painted, and still wheels and drives great.

In a few thousand years that'll be a tourist attraction............."Back in 2005 they used to allow these wheeled vehicles that they called 4x4's just drive freely around in the desert......here is an imprint from one right here.......it's obvious that this little shrub here was the reason for the rollover and the driver was caught off guard when it jumped out in front of him."

The "Tank Traps" this year were deeper than ever. A few of the trucks had water to the roof top. In the Pirate gen 4x4 folder there is a TTC thread and the pics start on page 3.

LOL.........I can't describe it any other way...........these things are fairly quite for what they are but they just sound weird at freeway speeds.......alot different than swampers or MTR's.

With each little tweak I do to the truck (IE; replaced bent rear axle housing this weekend) the ride gets better.........but it still isn't anything you'd want to brag about..................now Mikes tires on the other hand........."Like Butta"

Refresh my memory...........what tire are you planning to run........37's right?

[yogiaz]

IF I get the new job that I got an offer on this week... I might be able to afford to just get new tires every time I need them balanced! LOL

I really like my tires at speeds under 55mph and I love them offroad........I just wish they made a Radial version!

Faux and I stopped by 2 weekends ago but there was no answer. We figured the Super Secret Stealth Supercharged Someday Swapped Stepside Scientist saw solicitation simply subdesirable.

You are more than welcome to the tractor ride experiance anytime you'd like.

I like the fact that they did a good job at keeping the heep somewhat low considering the size of those monsters. The ground clearance is a definate plus too.

Maybe I should skip several phases of my build and just tube the front and rear now. That way I can put in the small block / c6 combo with dual atlas' and custom 9" portal hybrids. C'mon powerball.. :rolleyes:

[grumpy]

yea that should work fine, just be careful of all that low end torque :rolleyes:

[FAUX X 4]

yea that should work fine, just be careful of all that low end torque :rolleyes:

I figure top speed would be around 13mph!

Don't you mean "useless" low end torque? ;) :rolleyes:

Uhhh, that sounds :supergay: . I haven't checked it out. I can't bring myself to sit in the heat and mess with it.

Well, if you thought that sounded :supergay: you'll love this.........My rear works great now that I lubed it up with 2 quarts of oil and put your shafts in it............It still vibrates at speed, but I just need to add some more pellets or pressure.

[Heatstroke]

...now that I lubed it up with 2 quarts of oil... .

You should try 4 quarts for double the results.. :rolleyes:
