Juds One Ton Single Cab

[Jud]

Sold my 39.5x13.50-17 IROCs on Hummer H2 wheels. I paid $300 for the tires and $200 for the wheels. I sold them for $500, then bought these brand new 38.5x13.50-15 Pit Bull Mad Dogs for $500 from a buddy. They're Blems because they wouldn't balance. I put them on my old 15x8 steel wheels I had my old 39.5 IROCs on. They do look kinda funny at first but they're growing on me. They seem kinda narrow because they're Radial I think, but they're a tad bit taller than my 15" wheel 39.5 IROCs.

I forgot to put the SD card in my camera

i dig em go try them out and report back

[Jud]

I'm going to LaGrange tomarrow. It's all dirt and washes, just a big old river bed.

They seem like they're gonna work pretty good. I have not found any bad reviews about them so far. They're pretty soft compound and they're Radial so they'll be smoother at a high speed 

[Slolyfe]

Thats the first time I have ever seen your rig with legit tires! Looks good.

[Rocksnail]

I'm running the same tires an love them so far. They start to work really good under 8psi.Been in the snow, rocks an some dirt washes an they have not  let me down yet.

[Peterbuilt84]

Interested to see how the tires work out, haven't heard too much about them. Nice to see some updates on your build

HAHA very true mr. I feel like a new man... haha

I keep hearing everybody talk good about them. Two other buddies are running them now I guess and they say they work pretty good and are pretty beefy.

[Dingman.]

I wanted to buy those since i first saw them.  Cant wait to get your opinion on them!

Me too. I didn't make it wheeling yesterday because all my friends r girl thingies hahaha.

Yea updates are nice but few and far between these days.

[Jud]

I always saw them in pics and a few videos and thought they were the ugliest things I'd ever seen besides a beached fresh water whale... But now seeing them in person they actually look really legit. They have a lot of different reputable tire treads mixed in these things.

[toyotanner]

how are you running 15" rim on d60?

[yota_krawler]

  its a dana 44

lmao jk jud. i dig the tires. test them bitches out!

I'm trying to but I don't like going wheelin alone at LaGrange because it gets boring fast and I wanna be able to try everything and really test the tires the best I can there. I can't this weekend becuase I'll be in Paradise and Chico. So I may get to test them out ar Moonrocks if I make it Memorial weekend. I doubt I'll find a tow there though...

[Jud]

Well I went to Moonrocks Memorial weekend. Broke a 30 spline stub and fixed it. Had a lot of fun and tires did good.

I didn't wheel at all since then, until this weekend. Went to Niagara Rim Friday night and came home today. Had tons of fun and weather was awesome. Wheeled all night Friday and all day Saturday. The last thing I did last night was some really big granate wall that my truck wouldn't idle up so I hit it in 2nd and broke another stock rear output. I didn't care because we were all leaving in the morning and about on our way back to camp.

[Dingman.]

What are your plans?   Another stock output,  chromo output or are you gonna try and ditch toy cases?

[Jud]

free, stock output back in it. Toy cases will be ditched as soon as I get the V8 drivetrain built. No clue when that will be, maybe a year or 5 haha

Holy crap, WTF?! How do you do that? Do you have 4.10's in the diff.

[Jud]

dude aren't you on your 4Th one... f that. just fork up 200$ and be done with it.

I lost count, but I thin it's my 5Th or 6Th... lol $200 is a lot of money verse a free stock one that will last a while. Since I junked the Detroit I had in the rear I have broken one. But I was fully pinned in second gear low low trying to bump it up a HUGE Granite wall with lots of traction.

Holy crap, WTF?! How do you do that? Do you have 4.10's in the diff.

I have 4.56 gears in the axles and they actually work pretty good. 2nd gear low low pretty much on the rev limiter on a huge granite wall isn't the best situation for a stock output. I can keep a stock output together if I don't fully get it... hahaha

[Jud]

Put the new output in and went out to La Grange yesterday evening. Tires worked badass in the dirt and they ride sooo nice over bumps/whoops because of being Radial.

[Jud]

Had fun at Cody (BrockBuilt) bachelor party and my Birthday at Niagara Rim.

[Jud]

I kinda barrel rolled off the wall to the right and behind me when I took this picture. LR fell out from under me, it didn't touch the drivers side or the top and landed on the passenger side.

[Jud]

I had taken the bottom two leafs out of my TG 4" front springs and put the shortest/bottom one on the top. The springs had settled a bit after a while causing a rough ride from riding almost on the bump stops. So I put the 2nd from the bottom leaf back in. That brought it back up to the desired height and gave me a good amount of up travel. After doing that, new 3 leaf Chevy's out back, 14" Bilsteins out back and new soft Radial tires with a lot of sidewall it rides wayyyy better.







Got a Wink mirror from the attic at work, I know it's DIRTY right now.



Got a free 14B diff cover from a buddy. It hit the fuel tank on his CJ8 so it has sat in his garage for a year or few...
I have to get new bolts for it.

[brockbuilt85]

thanks for the carnage!

[Dingman.]

Jud i know you said the pitbulls ride smoother.

How is your overall impression of them esides that?

[Jud]

They seem to be doing pretty good. They hook up pretty damn good especially in the dirt.

[Jud]

Finally got my rear diff cover on, the threads are screwed up in one of the holes. I will chase them tomarrow because my tap is at work.



So my truck has been running pretty warm since I put this "new to me" radiator in. Turns out it was clogged up. I've had this Aluminum radiator I got free from a buddy, but the inlet and outlet were both on the passenger side.



So I cut the drain plug and outlet out of the bottom tank. My neighbor has a TIG so he's welding it all up for me. The outlet will be welded over the hole from the drain plug (drivers side). The big hole on the passenger side will get a plate welded over it.

drain plug hole/new lower outlet (drivers side)




hole that will be plated over (passenger side)


The top corner of the passenger side tank hit a tube and was the last/only thing that was in the way of mounting it up on my truck. So I cut the corner off and it will get a plate welded over the hole.


I will get some pictures of the finished product in the next couple days.

I put the 12" sub that has been in here forever in to my 2wd DD. So I put my two 10" subs that were in my old single cab Chevy in my rig. Needless to say, it bumps pretty good in this little cab.

[Jud]

Here's some random pictures from recently. Went to the TG Appreciation Run at Moonrocks because I got a free tow there. There's a couple pics from LaGrange OHV also.
