Will these tires fit on my D2?

[barshnik]

How much body lift will I need, and should I consider 411 gears?

How much Equal should I plan on buying to balance them? Thanks,

John F

 

[Gumarcel]

damnnn are those the 9.00 XZLs? Are you going to put them on your Extreme disco...I think stock gears can handle them...

 

[NorCalDiscoII]

Wonder how many bottles of ArmorAll they've had to use... look very shiny

 

[Greg Davis]

Well, according to Kyle, as long as you know how to drive, the stock drive train will be just fine.

 

[barshnik]

OK, no new gears then. I'll probably just order the RT 12' body lift, give the fenders a little trim, adjust the bump stops and call it good.

 

[nickb857]

I hope you make it with the duallies in the back.

 

[utahdog2003]

where's the PTO?!?! that thing is crap!

 

[Discojunky]

I HAD those on my D1 but I went back to the 255's becuase after I aired them down on the trail it cost me $734 in quaters to air em' back up!

 

[Blue]

LOL, someone swap those diffs into their Disco so they can be "bulletproof"

 

[Kyle]

No Greg , according to Kyle he hasnt broken anything with what he has and what he has isnt stock drivetrain..... Also according to kyle , some people will break no matter whats in there...... Get it right and you can post away with it if you like.....

 

[barshnik]

If the guys who drive these things in the open-pit mines can't break the diff, I'd feel safe with 'em on my D2.

Those tires are made by Goodyear, BTW. Any guesses on cost? More per tire than a new RR?

[Greg Davis]

?Yes Greg , my truck is stock and yes , I have used most of those methods to keep it that way???

I can bolt on a set of 38s and run that same trail and get through without the use of a winch. Its how you drive , not what you drive.?

Yeah, I was exaggerating, but I wanted to see if you were paying attention.

If you guys can stand putting your trip off 'til early '06, I'd love to go with you. Seriously, just let me know. Timing is everything, and next year just won't work because of our pending birth in Feb.

...Those tires are made by Goodyear, BTW.....

If they are infact made by Goodyear then they must have been mounted backwards, because I don't see the white lettering

 

[flippedrover]

No diffs on those trucks. They have electric motors at the wheels. The engine is just a big generator. The tires run around 5-6 grand typicaly.

 

[p m]

it isn't widely know that a motor-wheel was Ferdinand Porsche's invention - maybe his most important contribution to engineering (his tanks sucked).

 

[curtis]

It just occurred to me that the photo is from Vegas. I think that structure in front of the truck is that broken Monorail.

Congrats Greg on the upcoming birth! This is #2, right? Keep in mind that Marc has an "open" Moab trip scheduled Nov 11-14th.

 

[stevenr]

I think your right Curtis. It also looks like they're assembling it. I've seen these things all in pieces being hauled down the highways on flatbeds.

[nickangus]

I have a idea y not use that beast as your daily driver it would give a new meaning to road rage if u just drove or people in your way

[nickb857]

what are they going to use a truck like that for in the middle of vegas? When the fill it it cant drive over the pavement or it will crush it.

 

[Greg Davis]

Yes Curtis, this will be our second girl. We're very excited about the birth as we were told that it wasn't an option for us. Of course, we found that out after we adopted our first daughter. A real blessing, that's for sure.

Being that I was just in Moab in May/June, I don't think I could swing another this year.
