Nicely sporting the latest edition of the utah burqa.............

PM sent:squint:

I wondered the same thing as well. The old MTRs were C rated and held up pretty well. The new 40" & 42" kevlars are also c. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Goodyear&tireModel=Wrangler+MT%2FR&partnum=035R7WRMTR&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes

I am looking for the same thing as well. On the cheap, I hear skycrapper hydros are the way to go. I've also heard good things about KYB monomax http://www.kyb.com/products/shocks/monomax.php Upper end seems to belong to bilstiens, although OME now makes a shock for the SD that may be a...

I've yet to see a IROK make an obstacle look easy. The rigs they were mounted on make the obstacle despite being encumbered with them. Most of the time it was a tube buggy. If yokohama made geolanders in 42s, I would be all over a set. I just got the ball rolling on ordering my MTRs, and will...

*slight update* Stopped by summit machine today:cool: Mike is building me some sweet custom Jimmy joints to fit in my brackets. Once I get my hands on them, I can start working on it again.

Thanks. I wish I would have spent a little more time under your jeep when I had the chance:cool: My rig was always pretty stable and predictable, this version should be even more so. I cannot wait to get out to some trails like las cruces and try it out.

It's a learning curve to say the least:squint: The rigs were built by Chris Durham. Detailed pics/info of his projects seem a bit camera shy. I'll have to play it by ear. At full (ish) stuff the lower arms hit the frame. Bumpstops will fix that. It won't have much uptravel with 42s and 3"...

I've seen them work well on slickrock and granite. They had a less than stellar reputation for sidewall strength, but that has supposedly been somewhat addressed on the MT+. They have nice, soft treadblocks that don't chunk and fold like others in that pricerange. As a bonus, I've seen the 40s...

Rejoice! There is another affordable 40" tire on the market that might actually get traction. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Yokohama&tireModel=Geolandar+M%2FT+Plus&partnum=035QR7GEOMTPL&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes

Allright, time for some updates! Got the lower brackets and coilbuckets burned in. This thing is going to be tight tight tight up front. I will end up having to bumpstop the crap out of it. Hell with 42" MTRs, that's a given. I am getting ready to start working on the upper and steering next...

It is. My old setup had one, and I adjusted it once:p

Same here. It has been a while though. I was using some cleaner that praxair recommended and ran out. Picked up the brake kleen and welded away:ugh: After reading this in article another forum, I've been using purple power and water.

ABSOLUTELY! For the record, I hate beer and prefer a more potent weapon of choice:cool: However, living by the border, and traveling into Mexico often opens your eyes to the locals preference in beer. Corona is not one of them. I ended up liking the traditional Mexican trash beer, Carta...

DAMN Good, but late show. The Builders went on at 12:30AM. Who the fawk goes on at midnight? Helped put gas in their vans by buying some CDs ETC and left the bar before the set ended. I still managed to fall asleep around 2:15, just to wake up at 5:30. I must be getting old:squint: *bonus*...

Do it. Look into scca utah ralleyX. I have a buddy that does it, and loves it. There is a guy out there that runs a quattro sport euro spec. Bad A....... we should check it out...........

damn, general 4x4 sure has changed:squint: Happy birthday buddy. At some point we will be wheelin two rigs at the same time......... maybe:greg:

then you are probably a girl, or at least aspire to have a v*gina :p

Playing Monday the 20th at the Urban Lounge Salt Lake City, UT. Check them out if you can. Damn good band. http://thebuildersandthebutchers.com/ http://www.myspace.com/thebuildersandthebutchers

Damn you Greg! You're cooking the next time we make it down your way:D
