Get yourself a new set of "shoes" and that's one great trail rig.

Nicely done Jason!

I bet the increased torque and HP help on the trails. Front travel is still going to be limited by the Independent suspension, but it HAS to be better than the previous incarnation.

Once I kill mine, I'll probably get another. It's been real good to me. (but I've sold off all the off-road stuff except the sliderz. don't do it anymore.)

Yeah, tires will be on it before ECXC in July. Someone needs to come out with wheels for it first. I am looking at picking up a set of TSL Boggers.

Nick, I am enjoying wheeling so much more than I have enjoyed paintball over the last, oh, 8 years or so. Why they hell did you get out of it?

Muz,
Boggers?!? They ride and wear pretty bad on road
Doesn't look look your in the heavy mud, I'd look into Claws or the new Toyo M/T's (<-my next tire)

X looks great though!

Wheelings a blast. Looking good

Been playing in the dirt for over 6 years but only got my first 4x4 2 months ago. I have beten the poop out my 2wd pickups for long enuf and finaly got myself a 4wd and am amazed at what i can put it though.

Its only a nearly stock 1996 Ford Ranger.
Maule locking front hubs
30" x 9.5" LT Cooper tires
and some brains and it does fairly well.

I cnt afford to do mutch with it as its my daily driver but i plan on getting another 2wd truck in a year or soo and makeing this one a toy.


Heres a pic of my little rig after some light fun

They will be trail only tires (and to get me to the trail). That is the reason for needing wheels. There is enough ugly mud around here for boggers to get their use. I'll keep the stock tires on for road driving until they are shot and then I'll replace them with BFG KO's.

Well then I retract my previous statment.

Get the Boggers!!

Cuz I joined BlackCell.

And I enjoyed paintball more than wheeling. Yeah, I've seen some cool places but I didn't like the idea of really damaging my daily driver.

I hope the boggers fit... They were a tough fit on the 2000-2004 models. I ran BFG MTs for a while. GREAT tire.

my dad had a really nice land cruiser and my mom had a really nice Jeep when i was born. they met through a 4-wheeling club but they had to sell both the trucks for a 'family' car when my sisters were born. my mom's getting another jeep now.

my cousin still has a nice jeep.
