[MiniSimp]

So will we get to see it at the Round Up?

I'm hoping, I'd sign up right now, but It'll be one of those last minute things that depends on family plans.

[BigMike]

[MiniSimp]

Put on some different shoes to find the source of a shimmy.
It's amazing how much tires change the look of an entire truck.
They are still 35's, but only 12.50 wide.

[DTB]

  looks gouda. r those ur tires? or r u just trying them on?

[MiniSimp]

Just trying them on, they're for the Wagoneer.

[*** YELLER ***]

Some day they will go here

'Cause these just wont fit

[Hyena]

35x12.50's hit the fenders bad with 11 inches of lift on a waggy.  Me and a buddy found out on his 74.  just wanted to let you know.  how much lift do you guys have planned for it?  BTW, did they fix your shimmy Minisimp?

Great, that should be fun then.

BTW, did they fix your shimmy Minisimp?

Dave is test driving Friday morning to find out.

[Hyena]

Ya, we did a spring over conversion with 5 inch springs on the front.  did a shackle flip with 5 inch blocks in the back lol.  total was right around 11 inches.  I see if i can find any pics of it on flat ground, but here is a minor flex shot.  You can see we had to cut out the fenders.

[*** YELLER ***]

This will be my tow rig...    to pull MINI's Yoda  but I cant say that It wont see the dirt 'cause that would be a lie...Just dont tell the wife

My WAGGY http://s65.photobucket.com/albums/h207/76waggy/
My 55 CJ 5  http://photobucket.com/albums/j48/oldyellercj/

Would like to see more on the WAGGY though.

[Hyena]

I don't want to clog up mini's thread unless he wants the pics in here.  ican search around for more.  Do you have the quadratrac full time 4wheel drive in it?

[MiniSimp]

Yeah, it's got the quad.
Do you remember what BS/Width wheels was on that?

[Hyena]

Yeah, it's got the quad.
Do you remember what BS/Width wheels was on that?

they are the 15x8 with 3 3/4 BS.

[MiniSimp]

I see lots of trimming in the future!

[MiniSimp]

With these tires on, there is no death wobble.
All of my shake is from the boggers being out of balance.
Dave, you might lose these tires....

[*** YELLER ***]

Request denied ol' Buddy
It has the Q trac but I am hoping to go w/ a Dana 20
you can post the pics at

[MiniSimp]

Tried balancing my tires and found out my wheels are all bent.
Surprise, surprise.
The guy I bought them from said they were heavily used on the Rubicon and Fordyce.
So anyway, I'll be buying some new 2" BS Wheels from summit.

[MiniSimp]

Ok, so I just ordered the wheels from Summit. Talked to Johnny at US Wheel ahead of time to make sure they still made reverse wheels.
Talked to "Wheeler" at Summit 1-800-230-3030
US Wheel Part Number: USW88-5860R-SPEC (the "SPEC" being specific backspacing) I told them 2" BS
The wheels will come raw (unpainted) in about 3-4 days.

[*** YELLER ***]

when are you gonna bring those up ?

[Duffil]

How much did those things set you back?

[IronClad]

good luck with the new wheels..  pretty much all the steel wheels ive seen come bent out of the box..aluminum wheels rule

[MiniSimp]

How much did those things set you back?

Around $230

when are you gonna bring those up ?

You're bringing the boggers down.
