no need for a grille guard with a truck that big. bumper guard maybe, cause if you hit a deer your running it over or its neck is hitting your bumper before it snaps in 2!
The biggest problem with having a truck that big is that you cant see the trail closer then about 20-25 feet out in front of you.. makes it -really- unsafe trying to maneuver, not to mention the incredibly high rate of rollover due to the change in CoG.. it never needed a lift that big with those tires, could have dropped it 10 inches and it would have been just fine.
@WowMike2002 how do you figuare i dont need that much lift?as of now at full flex i have 2-3' between tire and fenders.so if id lower it they wud rub all the time.this height also keeps tires outta fenders when the front catches air.this isnt a trail truck its a mud truck if ya couldnt tell?truck was built to run 50ish tires but do to the lack of motor im only running 44s.so please get all ur info together be4 you comment on stuff!
I'm a trail guide at this park called Jeepskool. I run newbies in near stock trucks up this obstacle all the time. What is not show in this video is a stock beat up 85 Toyota 4x4 truck following this Chevy.
your piont being wat.whos brang about me goin up this hill?truck was built for mud.i was just out trying to work bugs out !!truck is neither a trail truck or a rock crawler !!just like the little jeep you drive isnt a mud truck." IT'S A MUD TRUCK "
@513er I agree - my Jeep would last about 2 seconds in the stuff you drive your rig thru. Does anyone have video of your truck in the mud? Please link it to this video to show the folks what its capable of.
@513er Curious but where this mudding video at, not trying to be a jerk but i think you should downgrade lift, or upgrade tire size to 54" boggers, Or tractor tires. And if your having power issues, just make it Diesel. Cummins engine ( 5.9 ) can be found online for 1500 and cheaper just gotta look. Have fun
Haha, I'd take the Jeep. They have a bad rep for tipping, but compared to this truck they seem safe!
Also, It probably would have fit those tires fine with 12 in of lift rather than 24, haha. Thus still retaining all of it's ground clearance, without being a flip hazard.
are you kidding me.retain what?!?! my frame is 31/2 off the ground !!sure you could put 44's on a jeep n have the same clearance from diif to ground but no where near the frame or body clearane.O n i hope ur puttin a V8 in this jeep cuz no 4.0L or 3.8 is turning 44's !!
you are mistaken man..a good machine shop naturally aspirated can get well over 300 ft lbs of torque and I mean EASILY out of a 4.0 which is the same torque as the 1st gen dodge cummins if you didn't know.
right cuz the av person is taken the 4.0L n havein this done.point being a 4.0 is no match for 44s in the mud or every day driveing.its just not enough motor!!who brought up the first gen dodge??i mean really??12v i cud see or even the 24 but 1st gen??thats like bragin about a GM 6.2 0r 6.5.
@513er I was wrong, they were 49s, and I doubt it was built because it still had the stock intake on it. It was in a YJ, but it also had 6.17s in the axles, and I'm pretty sure it had dual t-cases. I'm sure it wasn't winning any races, but it didn't have any problems walking over a pretty nasty rock garden. While HP is great for mud, it's not really needed on rocks.
they my work for rock crawling but as soon as you put it in say 3ft of mud theres no way enough HP to do anything.again lets put your buddys jeep on the highway in overdrive n see how well it goes. can your buddys jeep smoke the tires in 2hi with 44's?if he can please post the video so i can see it! theres "no replacement for displacemen"
Good lookin truck but either needs less lift or a set of 2.5 tons with 56 rice and canes, but this costs way less and can be legal in some states. Must be fun trying to rock crawl in sumthin that big and tall man put her into some mud.
Those look to be 44s. Ive got 35s on a four inch lift 86 chevy and it looks like he's got about eight or nine more inches of clearance under the rear diff
wat r those? 35's 37's max? all that lift and its no better then mine cause hes got no more clearence from the ground then me and i have a 3 inch lift!
Most states have a bumper height or headlight height restriction. Here in illinois the max bumepr height is 30". Some states have no restrictions though.
I am pretty sure those are not 44" tires..... even with a full long arm kit on a jeep and 37" tires, 44" tires would be higher then the bumper... 1:19 case in point... I would believe 38's though.... Still a sick ass truck!
This guy must REALLY be afraid of fat chicks!!
