what happened to your Pitbull's ?
As you know, I've not been active in the Project forum, and a lot has (and is) changing with my rig. The Pitbulls were just too short for my liking. They are rated as a 37" tire but only measure 35" aired up. The MTRs measure 36.5" aired up. The Pits are by far better in wet sand+rocky conditions than the MTRs, and they are both about equal everywhere else, excluding sand (the Pits are HORRIBLE in the sand) and on road (the Pits are HORRIBLE on road). I still recommend Pitbulls, but I recommend 39"+ because the 37" are too small in my opinion, much smaller than other 37" tires.
I know the MTRs are far from exotic like the Pits, but for my needs, they are far more practical.
I had some Aluminum Mag 15x10 wheels on the MTRs last year at MCR6, and I sold them to blane525 (for another rig he has built - 2nd gen 4runner). These white 15x8 steel rims I have on right now are just temporary (will be changed this weekend
) and are being borrowed from blane525, thanks Bevin for letting me borrow your wheels!
Nice pics Mike!
How are the new pivot blocks holding up?
Thanks! They are doing so great! I have switched out my rear end (I am now running a 2003 Tacoma rear end with
Chromoly axle shafts) (again, I've been busy with my rig
), and I transfered the pivots to the new axle and they were in perfect condition. I added some fresh anti-seize and tightened em up
My tool-less lock out system is working great also!
