Going straight they're great, but if you give it some gas and the back end kicks out, it's gonna go out a lot further

Same with claws. They are like tractor tires. No side ways grip.

The problem with mud tires is the complete lack of tire sipes on most brands.

Yea I noticed last night that it's not running good. 9.0 A/F ratio at idle. I think my intake must be full of snow/ice.

I need to get it into the garage for a thaw out.

It needs quite a bit of work to it. Tires, shocks are shot but I have some bilstens ready and waiting, u-joint, front drivers side axle.

About time to get to work on it.

well the intake was not packed with snow.

I've got it in the garage thawing out now. Guess I'll have to do some diagnostics on it if it still is running like crap after the thaw out.
