well i'm thinking of get a exploder for hunting season and i have a set 35 inch mtrs "well they measure out at 33.5" . so is it possible or am i just going poke the bees hive.

p.s. when your 8 and your cousin dares you to poke a bees hive just say no.

Congatulations! you get the same answer as the last 50 people that asked the same question........get a sawzall........and then poke a beehive, and post pics

i know that i will be cutting. just seeing if any ony has actually done this

You and that Dana 30 TTB will have fun with those 35s.

the dana ttb 35s hold up it is more of a dd duck hunting in the sand dunes rig

Might have trouble with the Explorer sport if you want to keep the trim but otherwise should be fine with trimming.

fits on mine...

oh wait...you said STOCK....

sawzall...and thats about max tire for a ttb35..hope you have WARN hubs...autos dont like much over stock..

Gtfo

alot of people asking how to clear tires, maybe we need a sticky thread with a pic of a sawzall :shaking:

its a dana 35 and ive been running 35" boggers for 3 years now the stub shaft has the same u joint as a Dana 44 not to much weaker then a 44 except for the hubs and ring gear.

6 inch lift to clear though stock is not going to happen even with a sawzall

Find some 33s, much less fender trimming, then lock the rear axle and you'll have a much more capable rig than with just 35s.

then you aren't very hard on it.

then you aren't very hard on it.

Ive broken 3 hubs and two stubs with the front open.

Is it the best front for rocks and bashing far from it but it will hold up under the mild use he is intending to do.

The A4ld and stock gearing will love the 35"s.

Then you dont wheel very hard or very often..you choose.

I try to go once a month or so and you are right i run blacks and blues at Raush creek i dont try the reds with this truck because i know my shit is not built strong enough or well enough for that. Im smarter then just pushing the skinny pedal at an obsticale that a rig with 40's and Dana 60's cant make it over.:flipoff2:
Im getting ready to build a rock crawling rig but havent got it together yet still collecting parts and saving $$

Then you dont wheel very hard or very often..you choose.
Go away, the TTB D35 is roughly equivalent to the a D44 except there's one more u-joint to break and is stronger than than the D30 as far as gears and knuckles, bearings, ect, and many run 35s on locked D30s.

well we will see in a week when i actually get the rig but it is a 5 speed. not a auto pos. it also has manual hubs. i also have a 4inch lift that i took off my ranger a month ago but i hate ttb lifts. the ranger has coil overs and dual transfer cases.


you guy talk about sawsalls i like zip wheels th do a way cleaner job

the 4inch lift with trimming would work thats what i had before i put the 6 inch on

So then it has 3.27 or 3.55 gears... it's gonna be a dog on 35's dude.

If ya don't give a damn about appearance... I could fit 35's on my honda :flipoff2:

....Hold the homophone...you are telling me to go away? GTFO. You have no leg to stand on around here, so get lost and/or bent.

well no the ttb 35s are not close to a 44 but they tough enough if you are half way nice to them. and thanks i like the idea of the horrible gearing because it would sip gas.

The stupid fucks around here never fail to astound me

why wouldn't sip gas. with my ranger with 3.55 gears and 36 swampers and 4.0 i got 18 in town. but when i put 4.88 in i went down to 14. for a dd rig and light off road use the 2.36 to in the transfercase works great. i know super low gears. you ever been to the hyper mileage forums. smart ass.

I tend to get my info first hand rather than internat forums.

And I can tell you on a down hill with a heavy tailwind you still didn't get 18MPG with a 4.0, 3.55's and 36's.
Hell I doubt a 4.0 would turn 36's with 3.55's. Take another hit from the crack pipe and try again.

Did you by chance recalibrate the speedo:confused:

6 inch lift to clear though stock is not going to happen even with a sawzall

Sorry, Dana 30, 35, TTB whatever. Toothpick axles with the 35s is my point

its about 15% over, as in more miles. so i did my calibrations when i got gas.

Someones pissy, get your show truck stuck in the mall parking lot? :flipoff2:

My point is you are not Crazyearl so therefore don't make assumptions about what he does with his rig or what is considered "wheeling hard", not everyone is out to break shit. I stand by my claim that the D35 is up to handling 35s for the average joe running trails.

what do you expect from a 19 year old

Edit: Yes I live in a mobile home. @19

Wow...sounds like everyone is getting a little tired of 94's shit.:flipoff2:

Easily. The OP should be more concerned with being massively under geared then the strength of the front end.

You make me laugh as you are just as much assuming he is easy on it as I am that he is going to beat the ever loving shit out of it.

Poser rig is stuck on the lawn :flipoff2: I broke a front d44 stub in the 77 with bald 35's yesterday. :homer:

Being massivly undergeard is the only thing that would be saving his front end.

well not that worried about the front end. because, i only use 4wheel 5% or less. rigs just seem handle better in 2 wheel out there and the dunes are all about wheel speed.


has step side ever been to the dunes for some reason i doubt it.

remember the more you know the more you truly don't know

To the op: trade the 35s for a set of 33s, attack it with the sawzall and wheel it. 35s are going to get eaten by the inner fenders when you are mashing it through the dunes.

And how hard is it to just drive within your budget? If you pin a tire dont hammer down like you've got chromo 60s. Theres a reverse gear for a reason. Or am i just not cool cuz i've only gone through one shaft on my TTB 35?:flipoff2:

its about 15% over, as in more miles. so i did my calibrations when i got gas.

Was it 15% over with the 3.55's, or with the 4.88's? Where's the speedo?

Wow...sounds like everyone is getting a little tired of 94's shit.:flipoff2:

Only the butthurt noobs. This whole fawking thread is so damn ridiculous the rest of us didn't even bother to respond. I'm just glad '94 did to maintain some modicum of integrity in the Ford section.

Want a cookie? :flipoff2: Look, like I said my original advice was 33s and a locked rear, gearing is his problem, personally I hate being undergeared, I'm getting ready for 4.56s in my rig and I stepped up from 3.45s to 4.10s over a year ago when I moved to 31s, being undergeared drive me nuts but if some tool says hes fine with it who am I to argue?

It's cheesy as fuck on both sides. I love the people that flat out state "anything over xx" tires on that axle will snap it like a twig the first time you put it in drive." :shaking: Internet wisdom is the best.

So if I asked about putting 44's on a d44 you would be okay with that?

I'm not saying I would do it, but who's to say it won't work. Take a trip south. There are plenty of trucks and swamp buggies running 40" plus tires on d44's with minor problems.
There are more factors than just "it won't work".

Depends on how much you want to cut.

35's fit fine on a stock rig if you remove 500Lbs of sheet metal, or don't care about loosing a few degrees of turn radius.

I beat the living tar out of this thing with 35's and a D28, with 3.45 gearing. Low range was the key.

well i'm thinking of get a exploder for hunting season and i have a set 35 inch mtrs "well they measure out at 33.5" . so is it possible or am i just going poke the bees hive.

First things first what is an exploder??? I've heard of 35 on an explorer....just cut the fenders and weld the rear end...your'll go for days in your exploder! ha

A little late to the party huh?

A little late to the party huh?

No, it took him that long to come up with what he thought was a witty addition to the thread. He's been sitting there, staring at his computer screen like a monkey doing a math problem since the thread was new, and finally came up with that pearl

Damn this thread brings the epic fail. Why in the hell would you want 35s on a truck with no lift? Just cuttin your fenders is gonna clear the tires but wont do shit for turning. Hows about you just cut out he axles and stack it all on a K5 frame. :flipoff2:
