Woo Hoo I got my new tires installed today. I missed having a smooth and quiet ride. Just thought I'd share.

Well, what did you finally decide to go with? The Dunlops? When can we see pics? Screw that, we can just see it on Saturday, I guess. Can you make sure to bring some of the big SWXC stickers, too?

Oh sure go get new tires... you find me a Jack in the box head for Halloween???

Man, new tires and I have that fender for you!

You need to get off road!!!!!

Put the new fender on after off roading. We both have the Dunlops now. I guess the 22nd will be a good test for them.

Actually I'm gonna be broke so I doubt I'll make it offroad until the beginning of next year. Oh well thats what saving for a weddings all about. Making sacrifices.

Roger nope, no luck on the few places I've been too (and yes I did look) I haven't even seen a jack mask to buy.

Chris what size did you go with? I got the Dunlop Rover MT's 31 10.5x15 for those that asked.

i think he had 33X12.5 ... they look good but his rims are a bit narrow..

New tires for you, and 6 metal interior cargo hooks for me!! We could have had another mod party today!

Yes 33x12.50 and no the rims aren't to narrow. Plenty of people run these tires on 8" rims. The will stay on the bead with almost no air in them on the narrower wheel.

I Know that chris..always better to run a narrower rim with a given tire... they just LOOK narrow... :p

I think a lot of poeple overlook or under-estimate the Dunlop MT tires performance. Before I had purchased my BFG ATs I had read that the Dunlop MT series where rate the best in that class for over all performance vs total cost impact from an independent testing group. Way to go you guys.......

Yeah, so who's gonna help me wrangle my new bumper on when it arrives (Ordered it yesterday)?

Schedule a mod day and I can help...

I'll help, but when I finally get some money together, you have to helpme with mine. So, did you go with the Calmini? I really want to see one in person.

Yep. I sure hope it shows up before the Barnwell trip. I REALLY want sliders, too... but I just can't afford them.

I was thinking about buying some square tubing and trying to make my own. I know a couple of people with welders.

I helped Doug with his Calmini lift on Sunday. This coming weekend we are doing his steering at my son's place in New Braunfels.

He alraedy had done his Calmini sliders and bumper. I must admit the bumper looks lot better with the light guards.

We could always use another pair of hands on the steering

Now that the lift and steering are done, i got the 32X11.5 BFG AT's. I also now have a whine coming from my power steering. Related? I think so. I also have an annoying hop to the rear end that I never had before the lift. Even very slight "bumps" in the road that I never felt before with blown shocks give an extra hop. Is it possible that I got some bum shocks? Any other ideas as to what may be wrong?
