is that the paint they used on the screen door bottom boat?

 

Haha yeah get a screen door for your boat!

Iwas sayin cuz it will leak water into the cab.

 

Thats my kind of fix!!

 

Well considering the size of the hole that was there, that side of the cab never got wet before the fix. (other then shoving mud into the cab during mud bogs. However......the passenger side floorboard is always wet. I think the windshield channel or that common do hickey thingy that leaks on that side is leaking.

 

Ahhh, ..... yeah, and that 'type of leakage' is what led to my C.O.R. turning into a 'Rust Crystal Palace Science Experiment' Looking thing inside! lol. Since replacing my windshield and getting that special goop that's supposed to last LONG TIME and stuff, .... been sealed like a deep sea scuba suit! lol.

 

This weekend's bog.

Silla rad held up well. Even with me redlining the temp gauge......again. Taurus Fan here I come. Also going to work on getting the engine bay more sealed up.

44 ft, 68.5 ft, 54 ft, 52 ft (in that order) were my distances. 68.5 ft one was where I damn near put the truck on it's side. See below photo of the mud line from that near flop.

I only have video of my 1st and 2nd runs. Which were less then 5 minutes apart. Same goes for the 3rd and 4th runs. I paid for 2 sets of runs. And you run your second and 4th runs almost back to back depending on what your random numbers are.

I didn't have temp issues the 1st two runs. It wasn't until the 3rd and 4th runs.






And the videos. 1st and 2nd runs in that order. Sorry for the quality, someone used the zoom on my camera which affected the pixel quality.

I usually don't try to run the wall, this time I decided to and, well, hit a rock that was in the side. Bounced over it, did not let up on throttle. Went another 7-8 foot and got stuck when the back tire hit that same rock. Sometimes riding the wall can be a good thing, but risky. You have to have the nuts to do so.

Note: I did not let up on the throttle (can't say I don't have the nuts), I just whipped the steering wheel to the right and kept it pegged. I figured if it was gonna go over, it was going over regardless if I was on the throttle or not, might as well make an attempt to save it.

Rofl, i post that video, in the pics thread, and now i've seen it in a couple different places in the past couple days...

 

good times

 

Man u seem to have some good and bad luck lol sicks bout all that rust u guys have up there!! I bet ur tires measure a little taller on that narrow of a wheel and thay deff helps u out it the bogs!!

 

They probably do, they are on a 15 x 8" wheel. I wouldn't go any wider on them though and I'd rather not put them on a 7" wheel either. I need new wheels though as one of them I have is bent.

Tire do OK for what they are, wish I had the coin for a set that went on sale on CL around here though. 35 x 10.50 R 15 TSL Boggers. They want $900 for the set.

 

Hmmmmm, isn't 900$ what the fee for the 10 Year Anniversary Video was? hehehehe... I know, I know... and THANKS AGAIN for doing it, man... it's great. Just wish you/I could grab the great finds that come up as soon as we see em! lol. I can relate... and 900$? yeah, that wouldn't be wise of me right now, lol. But HEY, you're not me, so you're half way there, right? hahahaha.

 

I might be able to get $300-350 for the tires I have now. I paid $400 for them and I thought that was a great deal on them. With my alignment out in the front end they are wearing more then the rear. I'd rotate them, but that one bent wheel I have in the rear. I've had that one in the front before and the truck was all over the place on the road.

 

Yeah, that's crazy scary on the hwy! lol. Happened to my 70 Blazer on my spare set of 35's on steelies.... Thing just had a mind of it's own on the steering end! lol. Well, then you're just over 1/3rd of the way there, right? Just gotta sell em first and..... run what in the meantime?

 

35x10.50's eh? That's a tall'n'skinny one right there.

 

Yeah, should be perfect for the thick arse mud they make in our bogs. Only thing is I'm not sure I like the idea of running boggers on the trails. And they could be kinda load on the road.

 

Everything I've ever read suggests you're right.... LOUD and ANNOYING for DD'ing, lol. Not sure on the trails, but I have read opinions either way, ya know?

 

Have considered retreads https://www.treadwright.com/default.aspx found this from another user on here

 

Hey Flea.... I've posted those many times as well... Seemingly very good reviews, even on 4WD Magazine and others.... But do they have a 34.5x10x.... 15?

Brandon, you looking to maybe change wheel sizes if necessary? Not sure they do a Bogger though, hmmm. Seems like that set of CL-35x10.50x15 boggers you found is a RARE find, eh?
