Double Dually Comanche

This was actually done in WWII. It didn't work with the full floating D23-2 or the front D25. Great floatation on soggy terrain but it led to tremendously fast bearing wear especially on the front.

 

If it was a mud truck that only did straight line mud pulls it would probably be alright.

 

On pavement, I imagine it would be near impossible to turn.

Stupid idea, and I really doubt you'll ever make it happen. This is an ignorant hillbilly idea that has no application in the real world.

 

hey.... Leave the hillbillys out of this... yes this is a stupid ignorant idea I agree, but leave us out of it.... besides IL doesnt have any hills. Just sounds like some midwestern redneckery to me....

 

10 reasons not to do it

  1. stupid
  2. too wide
  3. stupid
  4. no turn radius
  5. stupid
  6. bad on parts
  7. stupid
  8. dumb
  9. stupid
  10. stupid

jeez you guys are brutal. I think it is a pretty awesome mud truck project and I would love to see it! personally I'd put my money elsewhere but if you can pull this off and make an epic mj mud truck I'll be extremely impressed.

 

same here,

ya I would never build it, but if i saw a double dually comanche rolling down the road or at a mud bog i would be doing all i could to run him down to take pictures and ask questions

The whole point here is tire patch contact with the ground. With the wide variety of tires on the market, I'm sure you could find a single tire with the same contact area as a set of duals.

 

 

 

........ and with a whole lot less weight involved too.

don't the mud guys usually go with a narrow tire? all the ones ive seen seem to want a super tall tire thats very narrow, so it cuts through slop so it can get some traction on the harder stuff underneath. i feel like the dual front tires would just push mud like a plow.

there are a couple theories to mudding and it depends on whether or not there is a hard bottom to the muck. skinny tires to find the bottom, or wide tires to "float" over the mud.

 

 

 

far as I can tell, dually front tires are mostly about; "LOOK AT ME!!!"
