Time for Tons

[Harrison]

The stars look like they could align...

Anyone have an opinion on Creepies vs MTRs?

MTRs are $200 cheaper a set, but Creepies will fit on my current wheels or the free 16" steelies I get from Troy.

I have a feeling the Creepies may be worth the money... probably closer to the sticky end of the spectrum. Since treadwear isn't a concern...

if this thing sees any more than 10% road id go MTRs if this is trail duty id go creepys

[Wingman]

Don't settle.  Go with your optimal choice and don't look back.

[Harrison]

10% road is probably about what it will see.

Leaning towards the Creepies.

For the duty it sees I would do creepies.

[Harrison]

Spicer'd and full circle'd. Also installed new axle seals I have little confidence I didn't ruin on install.

[Harrison]

Still can't get over the size of those joints. And the Spicers are BEEF

[Harrison]

Bah

[Wingman]

No good.  Uni-body fail?

Time for cage.

[Harrison]

Blew front driveshaft off yoke. Need new u bolts. 571 attempted to extract rewards but rock I had been dragging wedged itself in between rear axle and has tank skid tore that crack. Plate for now, just a reminder I really do need a cage.

Also need new rear caliper, broke on the first obstacle of the weekend and wheeled with soft line clamped off.

Hoping weird noise I heard post driveshaft issue isn't ruined t-case.

Torquing from doubler is getting serious. Need crossmember for that.

Trans pan is more fucked. Need skid for that.

[Harrison]

Rear plated on outside and underside. Plate on inside where crack is. Just reinstalled the gas tank and skid.

Left to do before returning to Rausch: rear caliper and transmission skid. Truck needs hitch installed.

Good weekend to have no plans, because this took all of it! Been a while since I spent a weekend immersed in metal burning world. Kinda fun but I'd kinda be OK never plating another unibody.

Who would have Creepies in stock as opposed to drop ship? Seem to be backordered almost everywhere.

[M4wdFab]

check ebay?  verify with sellar


we could check with doug or campbell who have a maxxis hookup also

[Harrison]

Ebay no go.

4wp, Pirate vendor, 4x4 Group Buy all say the same: 1 in stock in Texas, backordered until begining of August. Going to keep trying find other places.
