JDMCRX. Those wheel spacers give him lots of mud flinging ability.

great day in the mud guys! had fun for sure. nice to be out with all similar capabilities and trucks. those gv's run really well in the trails, you guys seemed to have better power in the really deep soupy crap. tires... gotta say that this was my 1st time running lots of mud with my cooper stt's and i was very very happy with them, they saved my a$$ a few times for sure. i'm glad we all made it home without any major problems, was fun trying to pull you out with my tracker.. lol... i plugged up the drain at the carwash after...
some good pics, can't wait to see some of the vids!
here is a link to the 31x9.5's i was talking about http://www.intercotire.com/site29.php - anybody have an opinion on these tires?
-
Yeah i found the dealers in canada gonna call and see how much of my arm i got to saw off
-
Just out of curiosity, where in Canada are you at?
-
We're in Ottawa Ontario. Canada's Capital. Just north of New York State.

Oh ok,
I'm thinking of moving to Canada in a couple years, once my fiance finished her masters. But I'm on the opposide side near Vanc. B.C.
-
BC is nice but exspensive lol
So hows the truck going?

Vancouver is ridiculously expensive IMO. Gorgeous area. If you can, move into the interior. Kamloops is gorgeous and not nearly as pricey.
-
hey hey, saw the vid, looks good!
lemme know what price you find on those tires, they are my 1st pick for new rubber. we should try to order up 8 at the same time and see what kinda deal can be done.
ce1_2nr, if we're ever in the scudsbury at the same time there are always good places to wheel there..!
-
Check out this link, the pricing is very good on Interco tires. :)
I could even have them shipped to my address in Buffalo and clear them for you.

For sure. I go up like once a year at the end of August to visit the old man.
-
NICE VIDEO! :D
i hate it when peapole spoil good films with too loud music, so you can't hear the engine..
great!
good music too ;D
-
Yeah same here thats why the music was very low lol.
-
i looked at that site for the tires, CHEAP pricing is all i can say, even after exchanging our $$. i think buffalo is really far away though, picking the tires up might be too much of an expense and time consumer.. now if we could find some crazy way to clear and then ship to ottawa not having to deal with the border headaches it would be great! the tires retail close to $100 more each here.....
-

Josh
Yeah,
I was in Victoria last weekend, I spent 4 days there and spent $800 between my fiance and I.
The truck is good, still working some things out. I don't know wether I should keep the spacers or go for OME springs. I want a softer ride on the road. But I'm sure the 10 Ply tires are also a culprit when it comes to this :)
-
more pics from the vid. clip
-
Nice lol. I can not wait for the next time we go out. I need new tires tho lol these ones are close to done.
josh
-
there might be a local run with the eotb club this weekend, not sure of details yet, maybe even as close as dywer hill. i'll let you know. or of course i'd head out there after work just for the hell of it, haven't been since last fall..
-
I threw one of the balancing weights on my drivers front tire. Likely in that rough puddle that was throwin us around. Bad vibration after 100kmh. I thought it was from the mud, but I cleaned it all out with a spray wash.
-
"...as straight as Richard Simmons..."
hahahahahahahahahaha...I laughed HARD at that...glad my wife's at work...
-
Cool pics and video guys. 8)
-
Thanks guys
Paints alittle fugly now but its a truck.
Soon to have new tires and some more mud vids:)
-
my paint is finished... it looks like shit after being washed! when i tell people it's an '03 i get funny looks and people ask me what i'm thinking... lol.
-
Yeah soo true. My paint is missing in some spots oh well. Soon as i start working ill do the body lift and the 31's and we can go out again
-
my body lift from rr has arrived! i have to pick it up in ashton sometime this week and hopefully install really soon, might have found some 31 mt's 2nd hand again, cheap. if you're still looking for tires national 4wd has good pricing. i've been out quite a few times, the tracker is in the shop right now getting a new fan clutch assembly...
