Ya gotta rep the chops when ur a big guy. Actually i just chopped the chops... sadly. The lady friend wasn't the biggest fan, plus I had this "formal" dinner I had to go to... too many people passing away around me! F cancer right in its mouth. Thanks tho!
Keith your into MMA right? Didn't I read that you train? What styles? You practicing/training with any (semi) pro outfit? Im currently training with Fight Academy. A pretty big outfit over here in CA. Where are you at? Any fights yet?
P.S. Boggers are awesome, but the Ground Hawgs fling the mud like no other! (bias opinion!)

I got an idea Keith,why don't you and mudterrain get a room and you can tell him how knowledgable he is all night long. Seriously are you stroking him while your typing or what?

It is common knowledge that the bogger is made for the higher horsepowered vehicles. I (opinion) believe my sami get better traction with the TSL's vs. the bogger but I would never say the bogger's suck... thats pure off-roading ignorance. You say you have tested "all biased ply" ? And your going to say the Thornbird are better the GROUND HAWGS? those were specifically made for mud boggs and traactor type pulls... Its what I run on my Chevy and wouldn't switch to anything else (40x17.5... pic in gallery)
You might want to go back and read what I wrote just one more time Because I said BOGGER SUCK on most vehicles meaning the same thing you just explained in the quote above.They just dig to much on lower horse power vehicles including the ones I ran them on.You just spelled out what I was saying so Just make sure you read first before you make yourself look silly.And by the way I have always loved Ground Hawgs,They did a lot better on my 78 then the boggers did for thereason you already stated.

Which one?My 99 I run the turdbirds on or the 2 I ran the boggers on or the 1 that my buddy has that now runs my old boggers?I don't know which one you want or why you want it?
Did I miss anyone? Way to highjack the poor guys thread people,you should all be proud of yourselfs and you should all give yourself a big pat on the back and tell yourselves "At a boy"

Yea, im into mma. I just train with my buddies, who are pro. I do it for fun. Im only 16. I might get more into later, but right now im plannin for pharmacy school and dont wanna be too retarded later on.

You can call me gay all you want or say i love mudterrain, but he probably knows more than you do. No motel rooms for me, just got home from a sports banquet.

okay, im not gonna get into this pissin match between you guys, but the insight i have on thornbirds is..........THEY SUCK SOME OF THE BIGGEST HORSE NUTS I HAVE EVER SEEN.
My best friend had them on his truck, he spent more time being pulled out of the mud than driving out himself. Yes they have kick *** sidewall tread, but the only that is good for on those tires is the dry ditch.
Boggers, i have run them and so have all my friends, and jeep buddies that do competition rock climbing. The thing about boggers is, 1. they will get you the hell out of whatever hole your in, or 2. they will dig you even deeper, and 98% of the time, its Choice numero UNO, #1. i have never heard a bad thing about boggers, and as far as the thornbirds, they are a waste of rubber, they could be using the rubber they waste on the hunk a junks to make a better tire or more of what interco already has.

The not so intelligence of a REDNECK BUBBA

Keith I wasn't calling you gay I was just poking fun at ya because you speak so highly of him,I just couldn't resist ,no harm intended.Second your only 16 so that explains a lot.When I was 16,I definently knew a lot more then anyone else too.You will see what I mean when you get a little older.You never said what pics you wanted to see?

Go back... read my post.... and I am glad you took my out I gave you!
Im just messing with ya, but I figured that was what you meant. Please explain how I looked silly? I did read your post, you said they sucked on MOST vehicles... and before everyone jumped all over you for it (looked like I was too late) I was gunna give you an out, so you could say you meant only on some... hell, I was even able to give you a reason they would suck on some lighter, less HP vehicles. so, your welcome
Just curious: Would you rate the Thornbirds higher then Ground Hawgs?
And I am not sure which pics Keith wants to see, but I am down to see em all!
Keith: Only 16? Damn bud, had no idea. Mighty fine truck you got there! And if your thinking about doing some MMA, train now and go for it. No regrets, and it kicks ***. plus, how cool is it when you show people you fight for FUN.

i agree with MTECH, If you wanna fight for a living, get started now so that way you can reach a peak in your career and be comfortable at a young age and not have to do like TYSON, HOLYFIELD, and OSCAR(i know these guys are boxers, but same emphasis).
I know what its like to train to fight for a living, i used to box in the amateur circuit, and i had a decent record but i came to realize, my life is to short to have my brains beat out, and i would love to be able to remember who the hell i am at 60.
but the same goes for all sports, i have done alot of them, RODEO, FOOTBALL, BASEBALL, RUGBY, ETC.......
but as much as i hate to say it, mma, ufc, and all those fighting leagues will wind up like boxing, dying down to nothing and having to build back up,
so good choice on the pharmacy school.

31's

i ran some 31x11x16 thornbirds for a while...it cut my gas mileage in half, but that was to be expected...i liked 'em...they were really loud on the highway, and really functional in the sand...didn't hit the mud too much cuz of the 2x4, they are a little soft, and the guy @ 4wheel parts told me they would seperate easily being in Texas with the heat, but that might have just been his opinion.... overall i thought they were a good tire...but like i said, it cut my gas milage in half so i only ran them for a year because my pocket couldn't take it anymore at the time...do some more research...
