I'd say there is going to be some
serious rubbing at flex with those
big bad boys  

I though 35s were too big without
cutting. Nice looking tires

Actually that B&D recripicating saw is not a Sawzall.  Sawzall is a registered trademark by Milwaukee Elec. Tool, whom I just happen to work for.  
I'll get of my soapbox now.  
Sweet looking truck dude!  The new tires make a huge (no pun intented) difference.

Dude, your soapbox was cardboard, it collapsed
long ago, take it as a compliment, like hand me
a Kleenex, no refference intended that your products
should be compaired to blowing your nose or snot

LOL

So, are those Iroks lighter than similarly sized TSL Bias Ply's? Your Tracker have any trouble pushing them?

SNIP ..."Trimming is done...to a point.  It's streetable right now, will need more trimming to reach the limit of the suspension's twist.  Took it to the gas station for a fill-up, it rode tons better (no beadlocks) and the engine didn't have a problem pulling the rig along. "

Eh, it's like saying "band-aid" or "coke"

Did the cookout thing today, a couple of friends came over.

Here's a brief synopsis.

We brought out the car ramps, put alternate corners on it, turned the compressed front corner to full lock and see how much trimming needed to be done.

The basic idea...


...another shot.


Exhaust needed to be lopped off.  Sawzall made it a quick fix.


Now here's where the fun begins.  In the Budweiser hat you'll find Chuck.  A quick tidbit about Chuck, he's NEVER operated a grinder.  He's never even THOUGHT about using a grinder on a vehicle.  

Guess what...Chuck was the only guy operating the grinder today.  

He had fun, Steve and I had fun watching him.

Here's Chuck having fun...and me behind the camera not caring.

Getting started in the back.


Now he's really enjoying himself.


We went in, ate, came back out and decided to finish up the front.

Um...that looks like a hole in the floorboard!  :eek:  


Yup, it is.  This is earlier in the day, before we ate.  The hole is much larger.  Nothing a little sheetmetal and a welder can't fix.  


BTW, there's something enjoyable about owning a vehicle that you don't worry about. Not even when a guy that's never used a grinder is ripping away at it.

Complete and total fun.

Hehe, as I mentioned on the other forums, a big hammer is a much more quick and effecient way of gaining clearance

Do you have much rubbing on the framerail at full lock on the ramps?

So that was you?  He-he "I'd hit it!"

No rubbing on the frame, just the front floorboards.

Driver's rear hit the exhaust, easy fix.

Pass. rear hit the guard in front of the downtube going to the fuel tank, with the guard removed it's fine.

The tires also touch the Calmini winch bumper.  I'll lop an inch or so off it.  Just enough to make it flow with the fenderwell.

I'm going to (have Chuck) trim the front side of the rear fenderwells a lil' more, just to neaten them up.

Twin,
Looks great!!!!!! Let us know how the Irocs do on the trail. I've been curious on how well they would work on a Kick/Tracker!!!!!

One more question: what backspacing are you running with those? I have slight frame rubbing with my 33's and 4" of backspacing... that seems to be a bit too much...

dude what did you do to it!  that thing looked so awsome redish orange! oh well

stu

yes please let us know what ur back spacing is an how well those tires ride on the trail =)

"The new tires are 36x13.50x15 Super Swamper IROKs on 15x8 wheels with 2.5" backspacing."
