He's been off and on on SASing it, but the way the TTB works for what we do, it works fine. I think he's got D44 outers... don't hold it to me though.

 

give him a little peer pressure then lol

 

Nah, I like his truck the way it is. I'd have it in a heartbeat if I could!

 

Early bronco and Fullwidth 9" have like a 5-6" width difference.

 

Oh I know, my buddy Jesse has that setup on his, truck is a monster! Looks funny going down the road but the truck functions beautifully.

 

Why run a 60" WMS front with a 65" WMS rear? They make fullwidth D44's (HP) that are a better axle, then the EB44 (LP)

 

when you get some sliders made and put on there send me some pics of how they look

im debating on weither to put some on my truck or not,
welded on or not??

 

there's not too many people that run that big of a sticky tire on the rocks with TTB, a lot of them sas their trucks..

I remember you telling me something along the lines of 'its not really built that well' before.

i bet it would function better if they were the same

both axles would be hitting the same things instead of having to figure out where to get one tire then trying to line the back tire up to get it too.

 

Never said that. What I said was, it's not a lot of custom, but a lot of off the shelf... however, it's also built right and not slapped together.



he has wheel spacers on the front.



Oh, and Matt, if your truck wasnt always broken, you could have wheeled with these guys and rather that dog on them, you'd be taking the side and defending their hard work.

 

Those must be some huge spacers

 

Great pics, I love that white truck!!

Larry's truck, unfortunately I don't have specs other than what I've posted on. Both trucks, whether people wanna rag on them or not, are extremely well built vehicles for multi purpose uses. Both are daily driven, both are reliable, both are put together right and not hacked together.

 

wish we had trails like that around here. lol

 

One of the reasons I will never leave here. Perfect weather, great wheeling... life is good!

 

if you say so.

so you're going to run an EB (weaker) D44, then run wheel spacers, maybe he hasn't had an issue but i never will

I'm just saying what you told me.

 

Last argument on their trucks. I know this, they're extremely well built, and opinions would change otherwise.

Matt, Jesse isn't a stupid guy at all. Rather he took the time and researched his SAS, designed it all himself, and utilized than fancy schmancy Mechanical Engineering degree of his... so uh... it's built the way it should be built. Hell, read up on his build up here! You may learn something!

I was just quoting what you told me a while ago.. you seem to forget things

 

Never once have I talked **** about either of those trucks. You either heard me wrong, or are putting wirds in my mouth.

 

I never said you talked ****, i remember you saying "its not very built"

thats all I was saying.

 

looks like fun. i wish i woulda known you guys were goin up i was sittin around the house all weekend.
