he sure did. esp after the rock garden

Post by: One-Eye on February 25, 2008, 11:30:03 PM
Yeah, the rock garden before the mud pit got really sloppy.  I said it before and I'll say it again.  I hate using the gas pedal and that is what I had to do.  Unfortunetly I bounced a little bit and when I did it pinched the side wall between the rim and the rock.  I can fit almost 3 keys in the damn hole!!!  $220 tire with less the 5,000 miles, TOAST!!!   AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I am actually really pissed off but that is life you know.  Now I have to work on getting a replacement ASAP.  If anyone has one laying around and wouldn't mind parting with it for a couple bucks shoot me a PM.  By the way, Cheeks, I still have your $50.  When every you have some time just let me know and I will get it to you.  BTC that day was a great time.

One-Eye what size tire are you looking for because I have a spare 33x12.50x15 laying around that you can pick up for free

Post by: One-Eye on February 28, 2008, 12:21:14 AM
The claws that have run $220 brand new.  Makes One-Eye sad to see one go at such a young age.  Hey Rebel, think we can mount this sucker after we lift your Jeep on Saturday? ??? ?

Title: Re: tires
Post by: Rebell Bull on February 28, 2008, 06:05:37 AM
a 12.5 on a 8" rim, no prob. 10.5 on 8" can be a problem as we found out with Mall Crawl.
Title: Re: tires
Post by: mallcrawl on February 28, 2008, 02:00:59 PM
yep looks like I'll want narower rims when I get a chance to find some, dammed stiff sidewalled bfg's

Post by: reg on February 28, 2008, 10:54:08 PM

just cause its a bad idea doesnt mean someone didnt try it!!!  is that outta Lowrider magazine?
Title: Re: tires
Post by: rocket on March 10, 2008, 12:48:54 PM
Can't be.  the thing is not low enough, not enough chrome/gold plate, the other cars in the background are not low riders, and there is no hottie w/ hardly anything on posing w/ it.
Title: Re: tires
Post by: HOT-ROD on March 10, 2008, 10:55:46 PM
i still dont get it. perhaps a work in progress. who am i to judge?
Title: Re: tires
Post by: mallcrawl on March 10, 2008, 11:44:39 PM
looks to me like a couple tires sittin on the ground right next to the ones that are actualy on the truck like maybe for comparing how the tread looks
Title: Re: tires
Post by: rocket on March 10, 2008, 11:48:36 PM
i still think it's a dually set up
