Squeaky SAS thread

[06 H3]

And bebe runs a 35 in spare with 38s so did 4speed until recently. I will get a proper spare soon. A 35 will work to get you off the trail as long as you don't lock up the diff

 

[cbetts]

Nope. Not yet I will by the time I have a big run. At 388 plus 25 a tire for shipping I couldn't do it all at once.

Seems like it would cause binding at the t-case even though the diffs are open. I need to think about that one.

I still run a 35" spare.

you still run a 35in spare CJ? I saw this video and thought you got a 37.

That is what I plan to do.

I have seen guys run smaller or bigger spares before I always remember DO NOT RUN the lockers though!

Either way a full size spare will be here sooner then later. I did the same thing with my duratracs when I got them back in Jan of 2010, ran a few months with 4 then got a 5th.

37s get here today!

Awesome! I picked up my 4 new Goodyear mt/r 35" tires in north hollywood today.

 

[RamRod]

Get those M/T's mounted up so I can hear how you like them so I know if I should order them or some km2's!!!

 

[owlxxx]

I am only counting four. Please tell me you will have a proper spare!

I havent ran a proper spare since I went with 35s over a year ago. But i did order a new rim finally. I have spare worthy 35" tires sitting around but I cant find a rim to match the other 4 rims. I just said "screw it" and bought a rim that looks similar. Should be here in 2 days, amazon prime. I suppose I put too much trust into the tires not to worry about a spare. To 06H3, Are these the tires from race-dezert.com? (the ones you just received)

No sir it was a guy off pirate

 

[H3HummerLineX]

So when do we do a local run to test these new shoes???

 

[4speedfunk]

06h3...I did the bracket chop to clear a 37"....but I haven't got around to getting the spare.

 

[Panzer07]

I asked recon how he did it in order to fit the 37' this is what he did.

Thought I'd share his idea.

how does the door hold up to a heavier tire?

Held my 40" just fine. Problem was me getting the spare up there and the ****ty center of gravity.

 

[H3HummerLineX]

That was my concern, I left the stock 33 on the door as I was worried about the weight. Also it blocks the rear window.

The rear window is a joke...regular size sedans disappear completely when they are right behind me. If it's not the tire that cover it is the rear seats head rests.

i was going to have a tire carrier made for 37" tires, but if the door holds them, no problem.

Our ear door and tire carrier can handle way more than any other manufacturer out there. I've proven that and then some. I've wheeled with my 40" on and zero problems.

Rear window! What's that?

[06 H3]

The truck is ready to wheel! Now that I have logged 3k miles on road it is ready to hit the local trails. Break it in....I have installed my bumpstops, got my ox locker cable all hooked up and my new tires.

I will be starting locally because I still need to build some new skids. I dont wanna take out a transmission pan. I will start building those soon.





I want to clean up the 2x4 and box it in and add in an angle gusset to help strengthen the portion of the cup thats off the 2x4. The bumpstops hit perfectly on the OEM leaf spring perches that GM had from the factory back when the axle was made.

Lastly, have you ever seen a hummer mount a jeep?!
