Hi.:wtf:
You are an overlander... you and the other losers in this thread with weenie tires who have never actually been on an obstacle in their life are the only people who actually think that if you go to a catalog or a store to buy a 33, that it comes in any other size other than exactly 33." My point was (and still is) that metric equivalents which do not match the SAE size exactly are not the same. No amount of instagramming your maxtrax will change that.
Let me guess, you have never bought one. So tell me, mr overlander - what is the equivalent size of a 40 inch tire in metric and where can you buy one?
To be completely fair, your original claim was "to be a 33 inch tire, it has to be 12.5 inches wide" so your continued hole-digging and claim changing to beat around the real reason you look so ignorant, and the reason people are beating you like an old farm donkey, just makes it that much more apparent.
So, let me tell you who I am and what I do for a living so you can be as informed and respectful as other forum members who are making you like an idiot.
I own and operate a 3 day, 600 mile TSD rally. This rally sends competitors through the most unforgiving terrain in Appalachia. In 2018 we had 69 teams begin my rally, and at the end of day 3 less than half of those remained. All of these competitors quit because of vehicle failure or driver fatigue. Vehicle failure and driver fatigue were the
only reasons given for forfeiture. Since beginning the rally our average attrition rate is 49.3%. Half (well almost half since you're such the numbers stickler) of our competitors fail to finish every year.
To further solidify your position as the official forum idiot:
My entire life is centered around travelling the country to locate and drive the hardest trails in the USA. I have driven Rubicon trail, Cliffhanger in Moab (Level 8- highest difficulty rating), Steel Bender (Level 7) and Metal Masher (Level 7) to name a few but I fully expect you to discount those trails as "easy" while on your 33s so I will continue.
I recently completed a 38 day expedition mapping those trails. I spent this time traveling the country to locate the obstacles you claim I "never been on in my life." Subsequently, I have been featured in Toyota Cruisers and Trucks Magazine, and Southern Automitive Alliance magazine for not only driving
but living on these trails for a month and a half
straight.
But I'm not done wiping the floor with that ass just yet.. I also drive a FJ60 on 37s, SOA conversion, cut and turn front axle, marlin crawler hi-steer, longer leaf springs, locked front and rear, 4.88s etcetera etcetera. The wheelbase has also been stretched 7 inches. Does a bright young fellow like yourself know WHY people fabricate a stretched wheelbase of their 4x4s? (This is the moment you open a new tab and google "why do people lengthen their 4x4 wheelbase") A person of your intellect will be amazed at why I've done this..
This still may not be enough cred for you though, so I'll refrain from calling those tires on my 60 "37s" and call them 36.9 instead.. but I digress.
And no, I have not ever purchased a traction board, and I rarely purchase tires My sponsors have provided many of the things we use on our expeditions as well as monetary sponsorships to cover living costs. These companies do this as a barter to me for providing financially beneficial exposure to their companies. They do this,
because I drive the trails you claim I do not.
In closing:
Muffdog, you too can acquire gainful sponsorship by large, well-known companies simply by traveling the country to drive the most challenging trails the USA has to offer, just like I do. But you must learn to name tires correctly and stop talking to people like they're stupid. You have been disrespectful to people who are in the right, and instead of realizing it (like you obviously have) and apologizing or even saving face and
just shutting the hell up, you continue to disrespect people as if having the word "overland" in their name reduces all credibility and knowledge. Some "overlanders" have not only driven the hardest trails in the county, but are most likely more skilled, more respected and and better known than you will ever be.
"Should I continue to argue with the forum when every post in the thread implies I'm a complete damn idiot?"
