Jose-

What did you do to get the 450bhp and great mileage - a whole new engine, or just supercharged? I want the how, where and how much, please.

Sorry to disappoint you Marc, that was great. If it wasn’t for Steve, I would have kept it going for a while.

Steve,
any luck with the tires? Have you tried tirerack.com?

i have a wholesale account with them - but waiting to hear back from some mfgs - if not then i 'm really leaning towards yokohama geolander at+2s. i also got the paperwork to sign up as a bfg dealer - but not sure if i want to do that.

BFG seems to be the dominant brand among serious off-roaders...something to consider.

By Robert Mann (Oldscout) on Wednesday, September 26, 2001 - 08:52 am: Edit

Jose I would have to say that Interco is the most popular brand with the serious boys!

By Jose A Cabrera (Jcabrera) on Wednesday, September 26, 2001 - 10:22 am: Edit

Robert, where can they be seen (beside internet)? Do you know of any of their distributor in California? How do they compare in price with BFG and GY?...... that's right you use to work on scouts... how is the Disco treating you?

By Danno on Wednesday, September 26, 2001 - 11:57 am: Edit

Interco, the makers of Super Swampers

I'm in Califoina as well. 4WPW carries them as does America's Tire Co. All my local 4wd shops have them as well. I have 235/85 Interco Truxus MT going on my disco.

The BFG MT and the G.Y. MRT are great tires and the Intero Truxus and SSR would be the same type of tire. I paid $489 for 5 Truxus M/Ts to my door! BFGs and MTR were all 130-140 ea+tax

$489 FOR 5 IS A GREAT DEAL. MAY I ASK WHERE YOU GOT YOURS?

By Robert Mann (Oldscout) on Thursday, September 27, 2001 - 08:33 am: Edit

4wpw had a web coupon for 10% off and free shipping. I posted the coupon in the tech area. I think it's still good untill sunday the 30th.
