NOVEMBER 15th - 17th: ADVENTURE OFFROAD PARK (DISCUSSION)

[kent10sne1]

I have no problem asking for or accepting help, i just dont want to be a bother to anyone. 
Thanks for all of the support and encouragement guys, it means a lot, and makes me feel a lot better about getting out there.

Have a great week and see you Saturday!

you won't bother anyone, everyone wheeling has been where you are, watching people spot, and learning is a big part of the fun.  what you see on the forms and hear with the stories are the highlights, we all enjoy each others company and are there to help anyone to learn and understand the sport.  remember, its YOUR rig, if your not comfortable,. dont do it.     

I wish i could make this, i am going to try and make the Dec event , its more social but still fun.

Hey guys. There's is a new rig on the way from Maryland to Atlanta.
Starting my return back home.
See you on Nov 15th!

Cheers.
Carlos

Very nice!

Any concerns about running 39's on D44's?  Where in MD did you get it (I grew up there).

Hey BigMike.

I bought it from Sean Vanderwall, a cop that lives in Thurmont, MD. He was a great guy during all buying process.

Well the D44's are trussed, gusset, Yukon 5.38 gears and Chromoly shafts, so I will start using it gently with the 39's, but I don't see it breaking easily. The driveshafts are OEM, what I expect to be the "fuse" of the system...

I'm planning to upgrade the shafts to RCVs in the future, as some friends in Brazil are using this same setup with 40's (Trepador) without problems...

Cheers.

"as some friends in Brazil are using this same setup with 40's (Trepador) without problems.."

What type of wheeling is more common in Brazil? Rocks or mud?

[j3ff3ry_j33p]

to be fair , it isn't out of the question to run such a massive diameter but in the KM3.
If they're anything like the KO2 , the things are lighter than most.

yup, I checked.  the 39x13.50R17/C KM3 it looks like the guy has is sitting at around 88lbs per tire. A Nitto 37 D carcass is heavier than that , I'm pretty sure.
Now, those creeper BLs weigh a lot more , heh.



my point being , if judicious with that jk skinny pedal , our friend will prolly be ok. I'd still want rcvs and suitable housings if I was gonna sling that much wheel. I'd go w a 37 and lighten my wheel choice if staying on the built 44s.

I should be able to make it by 9 Friday morning.

I ran 39 red labels on the pr44 with RCV for a while. To be fair, a 39 red is really a 37" tire.  I was nervous a lot though, and took it very easy most of the time!

I'm still a tentative, but trending towards checking in.

A 39 that measures to a 37 but has more traction than a (sticky trep) 42

yeah.
if you enjoy wheeling , this feasible approach gets old after a while, as Clark states here , (AMHIK) .
