With my new 38.5sx's, she's weighing in at a rather plump 3615lbs. A little heavier than I hoped, but still not too bad.... the SNORT guys like 1/4" plate. :D

It's weight bias is
2421 front
1192 rear
That equates to 67% in the nose. Not bad.... Passenger tires have about 100lbs more weight on them than the driver's tires. Good, since the driver is a "little" heavy. :D

So whats the best weight distribution. Twice as much on the front as on the back. Is this what I should be aiming for or is this just the way it turned out.

My rig wants to do front endos really bad going down steep shiat and I think its too front heavy (I dont know the weight distribiution, I really should find out). Although running 42s on a 100in wheelbase probably doesent help either. :D

My Tj was 4,000 on the nose, when I weighed it last summer, and that was before going to 35's, adding a Warn up front and a tire carrier that I'd guesstimate at 75 lbs or so....

a) Tire limit size is 40" for the comps so that rules out 42's (and my Dana 44 rules out 42's as well)

b) I like the SX better than the 39.5 Bogger or TSL

c) I can get more tire speed with the 38. :D

it's just that we do it more often because we do'nt

coming to think of it Kelly, are you sure we need Lance

*LOL*

Usually Lance's cruiser that I help build and payed about 1/2 for myself to get it runnin and keep it running. Or sometimes I get sponsored to compete in somebody else's vehicle.

coming to think of it Kelly, are you sure we need Lance around when we are gone for the con?:D :D :D

Naaah, not really. But sometimes I let him out of his cage so he can come out and play too. :D

Hell, Lance doesn't have to be around for me to go wheelin. I usually can fix pretty much anything I would break on a trail like the rubicon.

nah, just joking....besides, i'm probably oldenough to be your father, i'm bold and i'm plane ugly:(

You MAY be old enough to be Lance's daddy. But I doubt you are old enough to be mine.:D

seems kinda heavy considering there is not much there, I figure the ultimate weight distribution is a little forwards cause you apply power going up and the weight as close to center as possible.

Yo, Camo-
Do the rule guys ever give you grief at the comps about no hood?
Just wondering cuz I'm wondering if the ProRocs boys are going to give me grief over my CJ-7 "hoodless wonder" next week here and trying to decide to give the old lid a primer coat and mount it just to keep them happy.
I notice that some of the other Orgs. specifically mandate a covering over yer mill ...

camo's rig is a thing of beauty compared to this thing i saw today at the comp. dual SM465's and a 205 with rockwell's f/r ... in case you couldn't tell it's an s-10 .... or that's what the program said.

04-20-2002, 09:43 PM
First of all Camo's rig does not come out to the comp's. hence no hood is good. Besides there are tomany good rigs in the tin benders camp for camo to worry if his rig is worthy, Right Camo...:D :D

Besides they (the benders) like Camo's ass hang'n on the end of a tight strap.

If you really want to see the rig wheel, watch Lisa drive It.
