comanchebuilder21 Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 So I had an idea of putting duallys in front and rear of a Comanche.and.wanted to see way ppl thought before I do it so let me know
89eliminator Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 how would you clear the front tires when turning?
nicholasdances Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 I've seen this, not on an mj but it was pretty cool. truck blew a driveshaft in the mudpit and didn't make it very far though.
knever3 Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 Where's the rolls eyes smiley?? :doh: Ok, that one will do.
dasbulliwagen Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 I would love to see this done with a dana 30 and 35 and BA10-5 just to see how long it would last!
Pete M Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 :roll: if you click on "show-all", you'll find it. for some reason, certain screens don't quite show all the smiles in the long bar. :dunno:
comanchebuilder21 Posted November 11, 2012 Author Posted November 11, 2012 Well I think it'll look sick and its a challenge I wanna do I'm Gonna work out all the specs I just wanted to see what peoples opinions. Are on it
banshee Posted November 11, 2012 Posted November 11, 2012 ok i'll bite; why?? and a pic II'll bite "why NOT?
Pete M Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 I'll bite "why NOT? unit bearings. that's why not.
johnny quest Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 unit bearings. that's why not. thats a bingo
Comanche County Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 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.
jimoshel Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 Turn it the same way you turn a track vehicle.Lock the brakes on one side and give it the gas. Which makes me ask. Why not put tracks on it in the first place?
johnny quest Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 there was a samurai that ran dually swampers front and rear for a while now that i think of it. idk how it went... edit:
Darren Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 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.
ncmountainMJ Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 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 stupid too wide stupid no turn radius stupid bad on parts stupid dumb stupid stupid
nicholasdances Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 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.
ftpiercecracker1 Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 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
banshee Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 :agree: totally, as far as hard on parts A reason to upgrade, do we need a better reason???? B...
jimoshel Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 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.

86customanche Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 ........ and with a whole lot less weight involved too. ...and much less of an issue making them turn
johnny quest Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 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. 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.
Pete M Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 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!!!"
ftpiercecracker1 Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 skinny tires to find the bottom, or wide tires to "float" over the mud. You got it Pete. :thumbsup: If there is anything that i learned from mudding in southern FL its that. :agree:
