yeah if your going for a 52 you can by army surplus tires for very very cheap. but they are all 20's and all heavy as hell.
yeah thats what i was talkin to Mhockey about a few post back. The Michelin 52" tires weigh in 372 Pounds EACH. But they will last well past the ROAD life of the vehicle.
I can get these tires for 500 for a set. But im not putting 1500 pounds of tire on my truck.
Boggers:
19.5x54x17 = 199 pounds each
19.5x54x20 = 189 pounds each
Ground Hawgs:
17x40x16.5 = 99 pounds each
18.5x44x16.5 = 120 pounds each
i wont beable to get pics till later this week... MAYBE tomorrow but i really doubt it. The shop is 30-45 minutes away. But ill try to get over there tomorrow.
They started ripping everything out today and should have all that done tomorrow.

man that is amazing...i could only dream about having a truck like that...i want to buy another truck to do this to...and hey if you ever in texas with that truck, let me know. haha i would LOVE to see this in person. freakin insane. congrats on doin it man and hope it comes out how you want it to.
yeah i will definitely let you know. In a few years when the truck is COMPLETE (motor, transmission, tcase, front and rear bumpers, rock sliders, roll cage) im gonna take it on a few LONG trips Texas might be one of them. Im planning on doing this with my daughter. Should be fun.
Ill be going to a bunch of different places with different terrain then the normal FL mud.

Sweet man, love how your reppin the 4.2! Cant wait to see it! Is 58" as high as you can get the headlights? and honestly you might want to check out how far the tires can stick outside the fender in flordia cause i know its 2 or 3" in LA, so i know two of those were illegal in LA, Ha,I dated a state troopers daugher, so he talked about trucks we would pass.
haha thats sweet dude...also love the idea of the cummins...i would love to have a cummins diesel. wat ya doin for exhaust on it...truck staxx? hahaha
right now i have a 2 1/4 cherry bomb glasspack dumped.
Im really thinking about staxx. I need to talk to manual about his, and get some measurements. I wont be putting them on till i have a different power plant. And it will be hooked up with propane so i can shoot some fire.
The MAIN reason im looking at stacks is so that when im wheeling the muffler doesnt get sumberged, that drains power like nothing else. But im not sure yet. All i know is they wont be Chrome... ill have the PowderCoated black.
Im still unsure on what engine to do, im sure its gonna be a diesel but not sure which one. Its either a 6b or a 4bt. Ive also talked about a 6.9L or a 7.3 PS but the 3.8 4BT is looking best for what i want.
this is gonna be a sweet build man cant wait to see pics! your truck will be a true monster when it is finished, I can only dream of having a truck like that
yea i love stacks on diesels...especially if its gonna be on a huge truck like this...might as well go all the way!! plus if it will actually help you, then even better. that makes sense if this is gonna be a mud truck to have the exhaust like that...now you will need to get a snorkle
