My mini swampers!!!

Hehe...

Anyway, I'm buying another truck in the next week too. Its only a 2wd. But hell...it runs and drives for $200!

Here are my swamps...
BEFORE


AFTA




My truck is leaning a little because I only have 12psi in the front right tire!


I should get pics up of the truck I may be purchasing really soon!

hard to tell in the pictures...they are round. ..nice white spokes though

bias or radial? either way swampers will help...just don't try cornering above the posted sign they don't corner for squat

All I can see is that they are likely round-ish, and likely- darker in colour. The could just as well be drag slicks.

Haha..naw really, it looks good. Are you planning on painting the wheels to match?
Also, in the last picture of the second set of pictures, I don't know if it is the angle of the picture, but the shackle and leaf spring look tweaked inward.

Oh ! I didn't notice that either. I just drove 100 miles and my truck was hard to keep on the freeway. Feels like the back axle is moving around a lot. Thanks for telling me...I thought it was my tires. Better go check it out!

OMG!! SAVED YOUR LIFE!!!....At first I thought maybe it was just a 2wd thing....but considering your off road 2wd adventures, it didn't look right.

They are alright on the road. Can't take corners fast. Seem to make the truck sway a lot (think this is caused by a lot of rake!) but they throw a lot of mud. And I'm going wheeling tonight to see how they work!

I had a friend in highschool that drove a front wheel drive Datsun (some hatchback car) and he mounted some swampers on the front of it. It pulled like a son of a gun in the mud. He used to go out muddin' with us and he actually did pretty well (except for getting high centered all the time!). That's what it reminded me of.
