This is in 4WD. this same hole ate me with the wrangler mtr's.

2WD then 4WD to get out....

just some pics.

these tires are awesome in the mud. The MT/R's were simply mediocre, these tires clean themselves EXTREMELY well and have yet to be stuck

very nice, looks mean and sound mean, what kind of exhuast do you have on there?

sweet tires, I'll keep those in mind when it comes time to replace the grabbers. Those sorta remind me of the Pit bull Growlers

they are EXTREMELY similar to a yokohama geolander M/T.

The exhaust is a Flowmaster Super 40, weld in muffler.

Talked to a Goodyear guy at a truck show a couple of years ago and he told me something that I have heard before: The MT-R is not a mud tire. That stands for maximum traction/reinforced. Goodyear was after an all-around tire. The MT-R may always take a back seat to a dedicated mud tire in the mud. He described it as a decatholn athlete as opposed to a shot-putter.

I've noticed alot of people assume that stands for Mud Tire. Not saying that was your case Hood just an observation.

The tires do look good thought just don't know if I could spend that kind of money on a retread. Of course when you compare like tires I guess it's still a better deal. Glad to see you're happy with them I've been extremely happy with my retreads from Treadwright as well.

Just curious Hood. Why isnt the water going over the cab when you hit the water???? I would of just plowed that. Doesnt look to be more then 8"-12" deep.

Well since the first hole the water is well over the tire (being 32") I'd say its a lil deeper. If you were talking about the 2nd one I'd say the water was at least 2/3 up the rear tire... 1/2 would be 16" soo.... ?

also I had a very limited area to accelerate, and I didnt want to possibly get side ways and kill my camera man..

I’m sure you’ve been asked a million times, but for my sake, how did you stuff 32” tires on your Jeep without serious rubbing? And what lift are you running? THANKS!

Hood297 · **Posted:** Wed Jan 30, 2008 11:48 pm

well beleive it or not, few have asked about the tires rubbing. I'm running a Rough country 3". It will be gone soon though.

In the rear with the sway bar disconnected I do get a good bit of rubbing. This trip was my first experience with the tires, I will be trimming the inside part of the flares, adding some more lift to the rear, and extending the bump stops to hopefully solve this problem.

And the tires aren't exactly 32" they are a 265-75-16 which works out to be like 31.8"or something like that. might as well be a 32"

They are Green Diamond Icelander M/Ts www.greendiamondtire.com Great deal and very personable.

As for the RC lift. Its no good. If you want to get a lift for cheap and only run it on the highway then go for it. If you want to wheel it, stay away. I'm switching to a Frankenlift soon once someone wants to get rid of it...
