arn't the wedges cast? and did you preheat them before you welded?

 

yes the wedges are cast,, no need to heat or weld on the actual wedges... did you mean the actual arms? yes you probably needed to heat the arms before welding

 

lol yeah i ment the damn rad arms.... thanks carl!

 

i havent tried flexing mine much yet, but it seems like it will flex pretty good.

i didnt have to pre heat mine.

 

when u gona get some real sized tires on that monster truck

 

ill be ordering them next week or the week after.

 

well i wont be getting tsl sx's since they are back ordered until august. anyone know of another comparable tire?

 

watch pirate, there are big swampers sold there all the time, but your going to be screwed on getting any new stuff because of all the problems

 

37x13.50 krawler

 

Maxxis trepador comps. FTW.

 

78 and 79 are cast 76-77 are welded just fyi

 

well i havent found a tire thats as good as the tsl sx, so it looks like i might be going boggers. super swamper has a lot of tires that are on back order so i dont have much options.

 

boo yuck..... but you need tires!

 

Seriously? Go with a set of pitbulls!!!!

 

what about creepy crawlers and pitbulls will be just as hard to find as swampers right now because they have the same manufacturer.

 

there are 2 38" sx brand new cheap as hell

(2) 38 - 12.50 - 15 SXs Brand new - Pirate4x4.Com Bulletin Board

or 5 used with good tread

pitbulls arent as good in the mud as a swamper. i havent heard much about the crawlers in mud. the first sx you posted is too skinny and i want to go new. yes i know im being picky.

 

krawlers are no swamper or bogger in the mud but there a killer all around trail tire that are butter than a mud terrain. i think they would compliment your c/o's in the front compared to a bogger

 

this truck will probably never see a trail. its too tall and the body is too nice to get all scratched up on trees. im building it for mud bogging.

tires are getting ordered tomorrow. im thinking about buying two used tsl sx's for the front and run boggers in the rear.

 

Mud bogging doesn't guarantee that you're pretty truck won't get messed up

 

your right, and id be stupid to think nothing will happen to my truck. look at a trail rig and look at a mud rig and tell me which has more dents and scratches. my trucks an 05 with 36,000 on it, im going to try and keep it as nice as i can.

 

well that is the best I could do haha, why not boggers all the way around

 

and i appreciate your help! boggers dont keep a line very well and they dont work very good going backwards.

 

your only going with 38's and all that lift? why?

 

d44 and lack of power. plus the taller the better when bogging. ill be upgrading axles and engine later on. i bought all the shocks/springs at the length i want when i upgrade so i dont have to buy them again.
