    What tire looks more agressive on an M1009 - Mud Terrain, Trail Grappler or Mud Claw?

    I ran Nittos on my Jeep J/K. The wore great and I never had any issues in the mud, snow or ice. They didn't like standing water at highway speeds. I'd buy another set in a heart beat

    M1028A3 shocks

    I put Monroe Gas Magnums on my 1028A1 back in Nov. They have worked very well for me. I use my truck as a truck, on the road, hauling loaded trailers, through the cow pastures, etc. The yellow does stick out a little until they get dirty

    1984 m1028 fender trimming and tires?

    That isn't a bad deal I don't think. It is $60 more than I paid for mine. I would jump on it

    1984 m1028 fender trimming and tires?

    Hauling them to the island isn't a problem!! They just ride doen in the bed of the truck. Your gas up and down to get them is the only cost you would have. That is your call. I will definitely ask him if he will ship them and to get a price. I still have a little more research to do. The...

    1984 m1028 fender trimming and tires?

    I can check on getting another set from my friend and see what the price would be just out the door. My parents have a place on the Ga coast. It is an hour north of Jax. I know either they or I will be going down in the next month. If it is worth it for you to drive up and pick them up we...

    1984 m1028 fender trimming and tires?

    Thank you!! So far I like them. You can't exactly drive through yards anymore because it tears up the grass. Especially with all the rain we have had. The engine doesn't sound like it is going to stroke out at any minute anymore hahaha. The truck runs about 3 MPH faster than the speedo...

    1984 m1028 fender trimming and tires?

    Here are 5 more pictures. I am in the middle of remodeling my house and all my tape measures are at my house. When I go over there today, I will grab one and measure the actual size of the tires. Orange City is close to Daytona isn't it? I am just trying to figure out how to maybe get tires to...

    1984 m1028 fender trimming and tires?

    I go them from a local dealer. They are old family friends. I know that he had to get them a distributor down in Macon. I got them for $155/tire. I think that once I raise the front 2" I will be fine as far as scrubbing. I haven't scrubbed in 4-5 days. If you need or want more pictures let...

    1984 m1028 fender trimming and tires?

    I just put Powerking 9.00x16 (35.5 x 10) on my 1028A1. I didn't have to lift or trim the fenders. I have rubbed twice hitting a dip pulling into a parking lot. I drove it through my cattle field with no rubbing. I can't get pictures to upload for some reason. I will keep trying

    37" hummer tire balancing

    I got them on Friday. It took a good bit of weight to balance them out. It definitely lowered the RPMs and I can go faster if I choose. It rides rough and the faster you go the rougher it gets. It does best at 50 mph, which is fine with me. I have had it hit the back of the front fenders...

    37" hummer tire balancing

    I went a different route. I am keeping my stock wheels and I bought a set of Powerkings 9.00 X 16. I am hoping to get them put on this weekend. They are essentialy a 35x10. As soon as I get them on I will report back with pictures. I got them out the door for $725

    37" hummer tire balancing

    Thanks everyone for all the information. I am happy that family friends own a tire shop that works on big rigs, farm tractors and passenger vehicles. I think I like the of of stock rims. If I read correctly in other threads the minimum wheel width for 37" is a 16.5 x 6.5. Is that correct?
