Topic: 88 Nissan mud truck

[Willy Mammoth]

This was our for mud only truck. It had 245k miles on it when I got it and I pulled the IFS off and installed toy axles with 5.29's and Detroit locker in the rear. It had the 3.0 V6 with a 1 barrel Rodchester carb. 38 Swampers, no rear brakes Mile Marker hydrolic winch. The front axle had to be cut apart and welded back together backwards so the pumkin was on the driver side to fit up to the Nissan transfer case. The Kabota tractor tires was the last straw, I stripped out the rear gears and twisted the rear housing, axle shaft and fried the clutch all in the same day. After that I stripped it and started building a buggy. http://board.marlincrawler.com/index.php?topic=7287.0

Why come no tractor tires in the front.    

[Willy Mammoth [OP]]

Didn't need them. It would pick up the front wheels with just the rear drive running. I also could not find another set to match.

You mean to tell me that thing could wheelie?

Let's just say this, the tractor tires did not spin much and when they did it would break parts when they stopped spinning. I had a bent torq bar on one side and it twisted the whole rear axel housing.  I still have the tires if you want to give them a try.
