My girl is coming along nicely. I should get paid on Tuesday so I'll be ordering ballistic coil buckets and a ruff stuff track arm kit. She's settin on 38.5's right now and she gets the death wobble around 45. My track arm has 1/8" - 1/4" of play so I'm gonna cut it out and mount it behind the axel to clear the track arm.

Looks to me that those boggers are rotating in the wrong direction? Those tires work great... in the mud. Have you used then in the rocks yet?

You know I didn't take the time to read the side walls to see if they were directional tread. I just put them on so they matched lol. I haven't had the chance to go wheeling with them yet. I bought them used and that guy had used them wheeling up to swamp and coyote. I'll be trying them out next month though! I'm waiting for some front axel parts to come in then I'll be trying them out. I'll keep you posted.

I had them on my ranger for a while. they worked good in dry conditions but when its wet they slide because of the big ass knobbys. I heard if you put a few slices in the knobbs they work way better.

Just swap the drive side tires with the passanger side and your golden.
