Some New Swampers.

[Hahnsb2]

I bought these last weekend, 34x10.50 LTB for $600 brand new with a nice warranty from 4 wheels parts.
I bought a tire mounter/dismounter from harbor freight for $40 today, actually worked really well, much better than by hand with pry bars. By the time I finished I didn't have time to trim fenders but I put em on one side to see what they'd look like and then just on the rear for a drive to check out my gearing, which actually isn't too bad, much better than when I had 3.45s and 31s, I hardly noticed much difference and 5th is still usable... They really aren't any noisier than my current tires either but then again I only had the rears on. My measurments turned out to be true, only have to trim the forward and rear openings on the front fenders, rears are close but should be fine.
I'm glad I went with 34s, the 33x13.50s were too wide, the 31x11.5s are just too short and these look just right and the price was right too. I will still be using my 31s for normal street use.

Looks good, I've got the same wheels....

Not a whole lot of to stuff those meats when flexing tho...

The front hits the bump stops before the fenders eat the tires and the rear even rubbed with 235s at full stuff, I'm not too worried about it. I'm currenlty pending on buying of a james duff 3" lift if the other guy doesn't want it, or I may go 2" SJ coils in the front and some belltech shackels out back.

Nope It just needs the forward and rear of the opening trimmed on the front, the rears look fine.

Hopefully soon, theres still too much snow up there.

Yup, large tires it may not be able to de-bead because of the design, but it will pull them off the rims.

excellent, i can de-bead with some soap, water and body weight.. i just cant get the rear lip of the tire off the front lip of the rim, thats where i always get stuck doing it by hand...

I figured someone would notice, thats my dads 69 RoadRunner, 383 Big block 727 auto, outside is mostly done, interior has been on hold for a long time.

Fender trimmage. Just like I thought, only had to trim the forward and rear openings on the front, the rears have like 1/2" of clearence on either side of the tires when stuffed. They don't even hit the radius arms at full lock on the front . I want to extend the bumper a bit to fill in the spot where I cut.
