Looking good.. The best thing about having a stock pile of tires is if you rotate to specific terrain they will last for a long time. Give some feedback on the spring set up..

That's true! I will provide feedback on the spring setup.
 
Tell me I'm not crazy!

- Proline trencher 5T rear

- Hostile zero growth 5T rear

I ran my trenchers like that for a while lol. A little stretching and working and presto!

I'm so running it like that. The added bonus is that the beadlocks are truly going to protect those sidewalls lol!
 
Found out that my LHS has the Futaba 4PLS in stock for a good price. So went got one.



Done for now! Total weight ready to run 38.6lbs

Looks like you're running rears on all 4 ?? That shorty looks stout as hell.

Thanks! Yeah rear on all 4! Love the look but the way I go through tires, swapping front with rear in the future is a good option.
 
I hear you on that... I have rear dune reapers on the 5t now..... I wish I would have snagged 4 fronts before they got discontinued.

Hate when that happens!

On a side note, you were right about the traction of the trenchers, BertR. They do better than the crushers but wear off faster. :)
 
Received a shipment from DDM and went crazy with stickers. I know, I'm bored.

-inclined shreadstack

- ddm enclosed wheel nut

- outerwear pull start cover

- a bunch of stickers and antenna tubes
