yeah no kidding what do you mean about the iroks niose or how long they last? cus i dont care about noise i know im getting somthing from super swamper so eather way its gunna be noisy. and yes its my daily driver but i only drive 3/4 of a mile to work

[Skinny_Pedal]

tire wear i have been told by many people is under 20000 miles then add your spool.  i bought my bias ply tsl's thinking that those were going to last the longest. about 30000 miles with the spooled rear. i would have to check psi and rotate frequently to do that though. fortunetly my 83 will not be my dd anymore. i have yet to drive on those tires so i can't verify what i said is true though

[yotaboy79]

yeah ya got a point but those iroks are still tempting

[yotaboy79]

ok its time to bring this thread back from the dead cuz the brown druck dropped off an L52HD ill have some picks when i get off of my lazy ass

[SWAMPER]

Im might give th 36x13.50 IROKS a try once my 85 is done....I know their bias ply but im not planning t DD the 85 its gonna be a trail toy

[yotaboy79]

yeah i think im just gunna get them and get them from lesswabs so i have a good warranty when i start ripping side walls

[yotaboy79]

You do some good tube work, what are you working with?

[yotaboy79]

You do some good tube work, what are you working with?

what do you mean?  if your asking about what kinda bender im using, the answer is a home built one that uses pro tools 105 series dies and im using a cut off wheel to notch im about ready to get a notcher cus using the cuttoff wheel is getting old and if your asking about materials ive been using
1 1/2 .120 wall i used .188 dom for the main mounts on the sliders and the exo will have 1 1/2 .125 wall DOM for the main hoop the rest will be 1 1/2  .120 wall  not DOM its to damn expensive even though i get it at 10% above cost from my work
heres a pic of the bender i built

[RHG]

Sorry, I was meaning what you were using as a bender. Thats a good looking bender. Would you mind taking a few more pics? Is that just a plain ol jack from HF or somewhere similiar? I'm thinking of building one but I dont want an expensive one. Just something simple that I can build

[yotaboy79]

give me your e-mail and i will send some plans your way

[yotaboy79]

started on my exo i got the main hoop done and tacked togeather and started bending the rest but got hungery so heres some picks

[yotaboy79]

[mr4x42u]

looks good yotaboy...nice tube work...where did you go play in the sand??

[yotaboy79]

thansk we went to the over crowded and small sand lake but hey it was still fun my freind had a crowd of about 60-70 people watching when he endoed going down a washed out hill clime 

[yotaboy79]

ok time to bring this thread back from the dead again first off my new tires are on the way and im in the prosess of making an aluminum battery box and ive got some comfy bucket seats sitting on the shop floor waiting to be put in and ive got a t-case laying on the floor as well so i can go duals as soon as i have the money to buy an mco7 and a 4.7 gear set, i just put some new 14 in bilsteins on the front and ive still gotta finish my freaking exo, and im tossing around the idea of linking the rear but that probably wont happen for a wile. so here soon when i get the time this is gunna get a little crazy ill have some progress picks up tomarrow after i drag my lazy ass out from in front of the tv and the computor and get to work on the exo and battery box
