One mans trash is another mans treasure. Thanks Buckeye!

When Buckeye replaced his MT/R's with his new PJ Dirt Grips. He was kind enough to send me his throw aways for nothing more than the cost of shipping!

Here are the pictures:

Thanks again to Buckeye for the free tires! I'll be making good use of them this weekend in Gilmer, and will of course report back with many many pictures on Monday!

Maybe when Buck gets a couple superficial scrapes on the PJ's he'll send them to me? http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

2 of the tires were in very good condition the other 2 were not at all. My problem was I couldn't buy 2 MTR's so I ended up replacing all 5 (spare too) with Dirt Grips.

It turns out my spare was the wrong size so I had a tire that needed a 17" rim. I guess what goes around comes around. A good friend called to say that he had a beat up aluminum 17" spare that I could have and it's actually waiting for me at Cerritos to be mounted!

Dibs on Jasons H1! He's sure to give it away after Moab! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

I never imagined seeing ArmorAll on your tires. I am very disappointed. I was expecting to see some mud. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Thays what happens when you wheel. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

The Goodyear Wrangler MT/R is the best tire there is. By miles. I bought five in 37x12.5R17 in January. I'm very good at finding things no one else can find. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Did you have knee pads on when you found them?http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif Love those wheels.
I loved my first set off MTRs, but ran out of patience waiting for my second set. So I'm putting on SuperSwamper IROKs on Mon/Tues.

Det,
The roof rack and brushguard are too big for your rig. IMO, it makes it look like a little kid wearing it's parents clothes.

JWM3,

Could you clear up the details pertaining to those wheels? Did you have them powdercoated, or?

Thanks!

Hey JWM3,

Like DRTY and Socrates, LOVE those wheels!

Couple of questions if I may:

What?
Where from?
Finish?

and most importantly!;

How Much?

Thanks

Det,

So, you're either stuck in the woods somewhere with 4 flat tires or you're on the way back getting ready to post some pics. I gotta know how those tires did for ya.

It's 9pm, and I'm just getting back from 2 days, and 2 nights of wheeling.

Tires did outstanding, and I finally made this "little" ledge.

I have 400 pictures and 3 tapes worth of video to go through. This was by far the best weekend of wheeling I've had the pleasure of enjoying!

What do you mean you finally made the little ledge? Did you try it in the past and not succeed or it took you a while on this trip? Did the tires make a big difference?

[Detonate]

I've been down that trail many times, and nobody makes that ledge. It is a given that you bust out the winch after attempting to get up there.

If you've never been in Texas Gumbo Mud it's probably hard to understand the difficulty of this obstacle.

Here are a few reference photo's:

This H2 took about 2 hours to winch out. We actually had a Jeep with a 9,000 lbs winch pulling on the passanger rear recovery hook. The Jeep was then strapped to an H1 behind him, because he was getting pulled in. Then we had another H1 with a 12,000 lbs winch snatched to a tree pulling on the right hook.

Even with that it was a struggle to pull him out, and he popped a bead of his tire doing so.

[Detonate]

And belive it or not, this Jeep is also stuck.

[Detonate]

I'm not sure the Tires made all the difference in this scenario. But in general over the weekend, the extra clearance helped a hell of lot.

The traction on the rear tires was also great, and I'm sure helped a lot going up that mud slide.

The baldness of the front tires was painfully evident in some situations. I also didn't feel comfortable with those tires aired down to 20. The rubber on the front 2 tires is in very bad shape, and after running one trail with them at 20, I decided to not take my chances and ran with them at 30, which worked well.

All in all I'm very happy with them.
