I custom ordered my Jeep Wrangler from the factory, which is in Toledo, Ohio.
The fancy imports may be faster, but I'm pretty sure I'll win if I get to pick the track

Mustangs are one of the greatest cars ever. Don't you forget it. I got my Mazda 6 because I wanted a 4-door with stick plus I got a great deal on it. I plan on getting a Boss Mustang in the next couple years. I have to finish my project truck (Ford Lightning) and sell it. I'm also in the middle of restoring my 1982 Mercedes 300CD so I have a nice fuel efficient car.

If it can take on Everglades mud, ocean sand and Georgia clay it can take on anything. Those are 900-16's son.

@MM : Bring it on !! lol
Let's take a little trip to Minnesota. Nice place called Iron Range Off-Road Park

We'll have a blast.

Man I wish. I miss my Everglades. See the thing about it is in the glades power is usless. Its all about weight distrabution, staying light and keeping it moving. Big SUVs and trucks die quick. I pulled more then a few out in my lil jeep.

Heres an idea of "light" mud in the glades. Ill find more pics so you can see.

TheMailMan78 · Jun 29, 2011, 10:52 PM

Heres an old trail I used to run. Keep in mind these dumbasses are out there in wet season.

I killed an 8 footer out there with a .45 one day lol

Heres a run on the "Gator Trail".

Kreij · Jun 29, 2011, 11:00 PM

Yeah, we have lots of mud here too

Here's my new tires. Not 35's, but at 34.2" on 17" rims they are respectable.

Have you taken them out yet? That tred looks to tight to me. How do they do?

If you ever can lift her a lil. Not much and get some 900-16. Seriously there is a reason the used that tire in the US Army in three wars. I had no idea how bad ass they were until I got a set.

There were a few of those here still running until a couple of years. Now, many must be rusting up in some garages, or scrap-yards.

No. Just got them on last Friday.
Center tread it tighter for lower road noise and better wear.
Outer tread (hard to see in pic) gap is a good 1+ inch for mud cleaning.
Have sidewall tread (also can't see in pic) for rock climbing, especially to cling to rock edges.
I'll get a better pic. The've gotten really good reviews and the people who have them in the Jeep club love them.
Plus the kevlar banding makes them a lot more puncture resistant.

The new Mustang is a very beautiful car too. Although I tend to overlook the GT version and jump to the souped-up versions.

I bet your Mustang would be a good car to take some corners on the dirt.

Kreij · Jun 29, 2011, 11:23 PM

Here's a quick pic MM. That's a good 'ol US quarter laying at the bottom of the tread gap.
Sorry it's a little blurry, but you can see the sidewall tread too.

Any fool can drive on a road ... just sayin'

The MT/R's are about as good as it gets for a mud tire that is meant for road purposes.

I never said they can't get the job done, I just don't like the style of the American cars. I do have to give them this; working on american cars is usually really easy compared to others. i.e german cars.

I'm sure they have less road noise but for an off road vehicles that shouldn't be a concern.

I went through ALL KINDS of tires. One day my old man said F$#K IT and bought a set of 900-16's as he had a lot of experiance with them in Nam. We never looked back. The tred of them things don't hold mud so there is zero chance of compacting. Just look at the gap on the style tred.....

90% of German cars are garbage and far less reliable then American cars.
