nice. what made you go with MTRs?

[89eliminator]

just seeing how well they perform on the trails and the deal that i got.  

[SW86]

I'm still on the fence about them. its like one side of the tire is ready to play but the other side is halfassed ready. i can just see that A/T looking patch black lining looking for traction as where the rest would of just grabbed. but ive heard nothing but good about them as well sooo....

[89eliminator]

yeah i was skeptical as well, but a lot of people run them in the midwest area and they seem to do good on all terrains.

pics from the last wheeling trip.  holy crap were the MTRs working good

[SW86]

good stuff. what psi were you running?

 

nice tow pig setup as well :thumbsup:

[89eliminator]

started the day at 15 cause that is what i always ran in my BFGs.  they were working decent but you could tell they could go lower.  went down to 10 on all corners.  i could have probably done 8 but they were working so amazingly well at 10 it was ridiculous.

[89Comanche4x4]

i love your set up!! I'm going to have a very similar set up... either gonna have the camper on my comanche or one of these days I'm going to get an older dodge 1st gen like yours

 

awesome

i run my 33s at 10 and its perfect. id suggest running 8 next time you go out. if 10 was ridiculous, 8 should be out of this world. however each tire is different but id still try 8 ;)

[89eliminator]

yeah a few guys have also recommended 8.  next time...

I'm still trying to figure out my tires. On mine 10 seems to work best (as in out of this freaking world) on the front, but for the rear 10 was still too much. Loving my double beadlocks.

 

Not running beadlocks with 35x12.50 on an 8" rim I never went below 12 for fear of popping a bead.

. :MJ 2: . Beautiful hard to find truck with excellent suspension and tires. I like with bucket seats, my Comanche have a complete seat and transmission shift is in the wheel post, I like bucket seat with transmission shift in the floor. It's a Sport Conversion of the concept. :driving:

little update

 

ordered some turd polish to try and make the D30 last another year...

 

ordered and am in the process of building a traction bar.  got the kit when it was on sale from Ruff Stuff

 

have to do the rear main seals, fuel injector seals, and go through the front axle yet.  going to MO in April to wheel a few parks.  After that I'm getting it caged.

[MiNi Beast]

[89eliminator]

Really? I assume you're planning on driving across MN?

[89eliminator]

no way.  south thru illinois

[SW86]

MO as in Missouri? That's right up the road from me. If you go to SMORR I will hate you. I'm going there in May!

[89eliminator]

yep.  wheelin flat nasty this wed and thur and SMORR fri and sat

[neohic]

no way.  south thru illinois

 

:doh: I was thinking MT. Maps are hard...  :idea:

[SW86]

yep. wheelin flat nasty this wed and thur and SMORR fri and sat

 

Damn I would of loved to get to wheel with you. Hell any other comanche for that matter and you'll be pretty damn close. About 4 hours for me to get there. Like I said we have a good group going may 16-18th. Only if we would of timed this up.

 

Sporadic trip or what?

[89eliminator]

i guess i didnt realize you were in that part of the US otherwise i would have asked ya.  its been planned for a few months.  got 3 buggies and 2 full body rigs going.

[89eliminator]

wheeled flat nasty and SMORR this past week.  two great parks.  preferred SMORR though.  no mechanical damage, just body damage.  these are just the few pics i took.  still gotta load the GF's pics

[SW86]

Been waiting for these pics. I'm stoked to go to smorr. Plan to go twice this year.

How did the two parks compare?

[89eliminator]

SMORR was better in every way in my opinion.  from the facilities to the trails.  I'm not saying that Flat Nasty was horrible, but I wouldnt make a special trip for it.  SMORR's trail rating system is pretty accurate.  the insane trails are exactly that, and i couldnt even attempt to run them.  the extreme trails are doable with 35s and lockers and no care for body damage.  Rocker Knocker, Rattler, and Moonshine were my favorite trails at SMORR.  but all the hardcore and extreme trails were awesome.  be ready for off camber.
