Re: Big Tires... whos got\'em
To all those with 38+ tires who rock crawls and how much of an angle do get before you start to panic? I've got 36's and will be going to a 39.5 or maybe a 42 and rock crawl'n is my game.

Re: Big Tires... whos got\'em
I've got 38.5 Gumbo Mudders, added a 350HO (330hp) and still have C10bolt. Anyone going to Moab on easter and bringing some spare parts?
I won't be crawlin and if lite on the pedal maybe I will still have fun. At least I'll look cool

Re: Big Tires... whos got\'em
I have 2 big Chevys with 10" lift each (all 1 ton) and I run 39.5X18 Boggers and 38.5X14.5 TSL/SXs. Pictures at <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.bigerik.coloradoK5.com>http://www.bigerik.coloradoK5.com</A>. Anybody else have trouble accelerating quickly with big tires and a mildly built small block? These heavy tires call for alot of HP and torque if you want to accelerate, especially uphill. I have 5.13s.

Re: Big Tires... whos got\'em
Ya just gotta have a BB Chevy to move big tires. Sure you can do it with a mouse motor, but a rat is the better choice. Both my one ton Sub on 39.5"ers and 12" lift with 4.56 gears, and dually crewcab on 42"ers and 10" lift with 5.13s both accelerate just fine and have plenty o' power with their 454s.

Dude, could you check out my post on "Tranny not putting power to the ground" made this morning and tell me if my problem is "not enough motor"? I'll bump the post to the front now.

Re: Big Tires... whos got\'em
Hey bigerik, I just checked out your webpage (awesome rigs!). Just wanted to say I really like the info you have under "Lessons Learned" and "Weaknesses". Also the list of mods under the "good" and "suck" category. This is the kind of personal experience stuff that is really helpful to others.

Re: Big Tires... whos got\'em
I have 38.5x14,5x15 Swamper SXs on my 8-inch-lifted 78, powered by a mild 350 through 4.56 Gears (soon to be replaced with a 468 BB).
"DO IT TODAY, TOMORROW IT COULD BE ILLEGAL!"

Just picked up 5 44" boggers today. Looking forward to getting the K5 done so I can stuff them under it and get some muddin done.
