today i was doing more work to my jeep, and i know when you go to back door you see the typical rock buggies, cut up jeeps/yotas on 40-42 getting up bd,

i want to know what the smallest size tire rig to make it up the first water fall has been, wheelbase also.

pics or it didnt happen no bs:D

so no one drives up backdoor anymore?:flipoff2:

100"+ wheelbase and 37" tires...I'm sure shorter rigs with smaller tires have done it, but they also had to fight to make it...

Horsepower helps, too!!!

35", basically stock body Tacoma... I think it was 35", Jon Bundrant driving.

during the Carnage For The Cause-- team comp tween -Pirates / URJB / Tin Benders, before the lower falls got dug out, i think the tires ran from 33's to 36's -- mostly on FToy type buggies.

When was that taken? BD does look like that anymore. KOH fixed that.

thats what i was thinking also.


as far as the 100 plus wb, that should be a given, and if you mention 33s and back door, your either being sarcastic, or your talking out your ass because you havnt been there:flipoff2: the f-toy comment would be an exception if it was done before koh

anyone ran up it on something around 40s RECENTLY?

I was at back door a couple weeks ago. Tire size really isn't the issue anymore..It's all about a long a$$ wheel base.You can try it with a short wheel base and 40's plus but you better have a big set of balls and not care about landing on your lid :grinpimp:

I crawled it 2 weeks ago. Whats the big deal?:flipoff2:

Now I'm curious why you even started this thread since you apparently already knew the answer...:shaking:

Rear steer and stickies is cheating

38" creepy crawlers that measure more like a 35" on a toyota with 115 w.b.
dont feel like posting pics though.:flipoff2:

Tire size matters about as much as your dick size on that obstacle.

mike, how many times have you been up/down Backdoor ???--- 20 ? + - a few --- hoo hummm

because all the cars with 33s are parked on the sand bank before the rocks:flipoff2:

full body vehicles that is not counting buggies.

iv got a full body xj with a 106wb on 37s and was curious if it has gotten any easier but it seems like its getting harder:D

i fliped my buggy on it with 108wb on 37s. but i know i can make it, just need to hold the throttle longer.

I think wheel speed and wheelbase are more important than pure tire size.

I know we wanted more wheel speed during the LCQ.

this was my first year to johnson valley(koh) so im not sure how it was before koh had its way with it. i climbed it with 38.5 boggers and 110 wb. it was all about wheel speed and a good bump for me.
