Baby got new shoes:smokin: Now I need to sawsall a little more. Been looking at bump stops that are incorporated with top coil spring mounts, I don't have bump stops and do not want them to limit my up travel so there will still be some trimming involved. Can't wait to try these tires out have spare axles standing by:eek:

Dude.... After your first trip wheeling with these you'll wonder why you didn't have them sooner....

By far they are 2-3x as grippy as BFG muds.

My 37s... (They are Blue label, but still rock)

Binder they are full treads. I had 37 blue labels on it before I scored these, I am sworn to secrecy on the source , but I had to shell out 1600 bones and a bottle of whiskey. I think that is a fair price for 17/39 reds brand new. My blue labels were in almost new condition so they went on my Travelette. Sense I had the chance to buy a new set I wanted to get the 39s.
After I saw the way Binders rig stuck to the rocks, I really got the fever for the stickys. I know my axles are short for this world with these tires but they are bad ass. And I know I could sell these for a nice profit, but then I could never score another set plus I had to wait about six months for these.

I would have paid twice that for what they are worth.

What happened to you KMC wheels?

KMCs were 15s so they would not work with the reds. I have a guy here in Billings that wants to buy them with the swampers. I have not committed to the sell yet if you want them, they have 37" TSLs with about 80% and the fifth has never been on the road. He has offered 2000 for the five, I told him I would have to wait until after the reds were on. Shoot me a PM in the next couple days if you want them.

Check the picture of the Travelette they are piled in the bed

I need 17's for the new wheeler and 20's for the Apocalypse 5000. You should sell them cuz you'll need the money to upgrade those axles to handle all that grip.:D

$1600 is what I paid for my current set and then I had to know people and their secret hand shake too.:shaking:
You're going to be ruined for DOT tires now.:smokin:

Why don't you just throw them under my scout since it's living at your house! What is it that you say? "A dollar down and a dollar a week".
