Bimrunner Build Thread & Pics

You actually can use the plural of mile? Lol. I don't even think about what mine is.

My speedo is off by 10 percent. I think if I'm at 40psi, I'm usually doing about 13-13.5, but it's an educated guess based on fuel capacity and mileage I'm doing on a calculator.
 
A lot. I found online they are 58lbs as hutchinson doesn't give that spec. Wrapped in 75lb wheels, I'm sure they will be beasts.

Only 1 of the FN Wheels but I am a bit abusive so thought I'd copy

WOW 58lbs. that is more than a typical steel beadlock...Think my racelines are in the 35lb range... The FNs are like 24lbs or something.... Think I will stick with those for my 4r.....


I'm guessing that wheel cracked when being mounted and overfilled a bit on a big oversized tire. May have been a hairline there before... I just can't see that happening with normal pressure and size tire on it.
 
So... little update on the stuff getting added. Califab links - made to avoid contact with the top of the gas tank at full droop on these 29" rear shocks and new panhard to center axle better.



TC cam gussets. Let it be known that with LT, you want these. I did an experiment. The stock ones are bendy FYI.



A little shock mount protection is a good idea.



These double-beadlocks are beefy but I do dig the new look and function! Snow... can it be winter for a min so I can feel what 5 psi feels like?

Are the upper links an issue with gas tank clearance? Literallly just got off the phone with Metaltech and they said it's only an issue with fj cruisers?

It is if you try and move the axle forward at all. I'm trying to fully clear 35" tires. I did have pressure on the top of my gas tank at full droop. Remember, my shocks are now 29" long. The MT ones are designed for 27" shocks.

Roger that.
 
This all looks so familiar!

Congrats.

Lol. Yep. I appreciate copying what I think is good stuff. Went with Trail Grapplers though. I can't help myself. Maybe I'll get sick of the mud tire thing though at some point and join you on the ridge grappler train.

I found the ridge grapplers did just as well in the mud and rocks. But much quieter on pavement. And lighter too. God speed to your spine doing tire changes.
 
I think you will miss the MTR performance.. Just saying. :thumb3: Those are pretty good also.
 
You can't be absent from here and then show up dropping bombs like this!

K10 has MTRs so I'll have them on my bigger wheeler...when that truck is finally done being built. Lol

Sounds like that thing needs red labels or treps.... Once you get a dedicated bias ply... it's impossible to step down to a radial;-) But boy do they suck on the road.....
