Great pics. Looks like a good weekend of wheeling.

I'm loving these tires. They're still a bit small but they hook up great! Prob get them in some snow next weekend if there's any up at Gold Lake. Interested to see how they do. I've heard nothing but good reviews. Still on the hunt for some 37's but I'm in no rush at the moment, but I'm pretty picky.. only looking for Iroks, Trxus M/T's, PBR's, or some old MTR's lol so yeah... haven't found much.

We have the design saved so let me know if you want a pair of brackets.

I'll have to remember this for when I get my bar Ps, What front bumper do you have?

How much fun have YOU had lately?
I'm always impressed downpour..

Yup, let me know. We're tweaking the design right now (@JWaldz) so if you guys want a set shoot me a PM. Prob be a couple days til the final design is complete and we'll set a price.

Also... cut out some beadlocks on Friday (not for me), they came out awesome. So those will be in my future as well, but I need to grab a different set of wheels first (backspacing).

Thanks Brian! Yeah, yesterday was a lot of fun. Truck is feeling more and more solid. I p*ssyfooted it on Rubicon since the truck went straight from the shop to the trail. Now after a couple runs and tightening everything back down it's doing great and it's really comfortable.

Here's another:



I don't know why it takes so long to upload a video on youtube. 45 minutes for a 2 minutes video.

 

[JWaldz]

since they're apparently on the rise, one of you sas'd 3rd gen fellers need to start a "Official SAS'd 3rd Gen Club & BS Thread" thread.

I'd do it but I don't want to be ridiculed for starting it and not having one (yet) lol.

Looks like the NDs are hooking a good bit better than the Creepys. I assume he just never turned his rear locker on right? Surely he didnt skip lockers and go straight to a doubler setup...

The truck in the video is my friend Scott. He swapped his rear diff late Saturday night because he blew his other one when we went to Rubicon (welded spider gears). So, in the video he's open/open. I still don't have my lockers hooked up though too. My other friend Mike was also running Irok's and he walked up it (though he has a spool in the rear), so it was a battle of the better tire lol. Scott really likes the creepy crawlers though. He's been through a lot of parts on that truck. He now has chromo's front and rear, and in turn, is now just blowing diffs lol. Chasing the weak link.

I was mistaken, as I said in the video "you guys and your damn duals". they actually each just have a single 4.7 case.

My lights won't come for a while. I need armor and suspension first.

Do go into more detail on these beadlocks! I didn't know you could just add beadlocks to any wheels? Explain?

If you have steel wheels you can purchase beadlocks kits which include a weld in mounting ring for the outer lip of the wheel. The other piece bolts to the welded in piece and sandwiches the outer bead of the tire creating the seal and locking the tire bead in place.

Check out The Original DIY BEADLOCKS for the info on what they are.

Pretty cool option if you have steel wheels.

My friggin computer froze up as I was responding lol

He makes the anti-coning ring as well, like so:

Ya those anti-coning rings are handy to help center the tire onto the rim. Also helps with keeping a nice 360 degree solid surface to seat the outer lip and be able to torque the bolts up against. I see way to many beadlock faces that are sucked in in the center...

 

[downpour11]

Yup keeps the outer from warping. Put some nylocks on there and it's way easier to torque too.

It's a good thing I couldn't go with you guys. I would have been the only IFS :'(.
You're not making it any easier for me to stay IFS lol.

Okay, gotcha. That makes a lot more sense, I was just thinking no way is a truck built that well out there purposely running open/open. Sucks about hime just blowing diffs now, has he tried a good quality gear set that has cryo'd yet?

I have always liked the Creepys but glad to hear that the Iroks seem to have the edge, growing up wheeling in the southeast i love to see a Super Swamper of any kind getting it. :cheer2:

I don't think he's going to put any more money into it unless he goes full widths. It's a rock assault toyota width housing.

I like the creepy's although I'd take a set of trepadors any day, but not for winter. I almost came up on a trade for some FC-II's but they were way too wide, 15.5's. Too wide for me.

You woulda been fiiiine! That's no excuse not to come with us, besides the fact you had to work lol. So when are you gonna start cutting!?

 

[KSWAY]

Lol maybe after the 1Uz transplant. I missed out on a chance to buy a rolled tundra for $600:'(.
