DBXL 2.0 Spent some more dough.

[Freelander]

Got a set of Banditos for the parking lot bashing.

These things. I have seen a buddy of mine run a set. I think his were on beadlocks. Not sure if I made a mistake.


I also blew a wad on a Bartolone Mid-Bleed pipe and a copper gasket.

Not sure there is a significant difference between the options: ddm dominator, victory rc or the bartolone but it was recommended by a buddy.

Anyone tried these tires or pipe? I was led to believe the Bartolone comes with instructions and should be dead easy to install. What will happen? Will I definitely need to adjust the carburetor once it is on?

I ran/tested a customers dbxl 2.0 with the Bart mid bleed and its good. Glued is fine but if you want to swap rims and tires beadlocks are the way to go.

I think besides maintaining this thing these are the only things I plan on doing to this truck. Lots to learn but at least now we can go play anywhere and not just be killing tires for no good reason.

Are you telling me I probably could have just bought the foam and rubber and they might have fit on the stock rims/beadlocks? Either way it will be nice to have them mounted already so it's just wheel nuts and not a whole tire change.

Please, rep: should I expect some drastic change in engine things once I change the stock muffler to this pipe or am I just over worried?

You need rims and tires ment for a 5ive-t for it to be able to swap just tires to old rims or new rims. Dbxl 2.0 rims and tires are only compatible with eachother, the rims won't fit anything listed for a vekta,5t and same goes for the tires.

You'll see a gain in performance and the way the engine winds up. A tuned pipe thats built correctly will give very noticeable gains.

Thanks for the advice on rims. Maybe one more thing when we wear these all out.

The rims will most likely crack before you need new tires lol, pretty common occurrence with the dbxl 2.0

Same issue with the 1.0 in high traction situations. Blow the hub out of them. Get some 5ive t wheels and call it a day.

A friend owns one, I have to fix a temperamental rig time to time.

The pipe arrived in less than 48 hours. Pretty exciting. The shipping costs were worth it considering it was an expensive order. DDM seems like a really great place to order from but if it is only a small order or single part the shipping would be exorbitant no matter how expedient. Super exciting. Might get to try it out this weekend which also happens to be the last race weekend for F1 this year. Hopefully we can run after quali on Saturday: southern ontario and New York look to be in for some significant snowfall sunday.
