NICE!!

 

I so love that FF D44..

Have you ever ran those tires before?

I've been looking for a anise review on them..

Seem that's a love hate kinda tire..

 

Nick, they are the same tires as the Cooper STT. In fact, Cooper makes the tires for Pro-Comp, Mickey Thompson, and Dick Cepek.


I chose them because I wanted an 8 ply tire. Most 285 tires are 10 ply and extremely stiff. Airing down with a 10 ply produces very little sidewall deflection.

I'll try something differnt for my next tire ... but this is what I decided to start with.


It's all a compromise.

Good info, I thought they looked like the Coopers, but always thought they copied them..

 

Hey man I haven't forgotten about those rocker specs. I am still searching through all my stuff from moving. I may have a short piece in my scrap pile back at my old shop. If that's the case Ill saw off 1/2" and ship it to you for a template.

Hey Andy .... thanks ! I've been hit with stupid non-Jeep stuff and kind of forgot about them for the week.



Either way ... your help with the rockers is appreciated !



Joe

 

Love the progress

 

UPDATES! PLEASE!

 

your so smart... i wish i could fab like this or had the money to fab like this... i dont even have a carport... i do all my vehicles work in the front yard near the electrical outlet... lol

 

Hardly .... this is simply experience & trial and error. I do have some schooling to help and I do more reading/studying than most people. But nothing you couldn't figure out yourself.


If I was as smart as you are suggesting .... this company would be doing a LOT better than it is. And the damned thing would be done already.


I really don't have that much money. None of these parts are sponsored by the companies I sell. That is ONE part of the reason why this is taking me so long.



Hopefully the posts helped give you some ideas for your own build. You're more than welcome to get any parts you need from me, however.

how bout your whole jeep when your done... and ill just claim all the work done to it as mine... lol... maybe when my business finally takes off i can start by building a shop... then i could allow myself to get more into it... but then of course i wouldnt have time except to work... its a loosing battle... unless you win the lotto and never have to work again and can live off the intrest... thats my new goal now...

 

Find me a super clean rust free Scout II ... and I might think about it.

Finish this thing man! The suspense is killing me.
