DIRTY SEVEN CLUB

I concur! Looks great dude

 

Thank ya!!

 

Yeah, for anyone interested in the difference between stock leafs and spring under... here’s @papasmurf and I on the same obstacle. Probably similar angles. All that extra travel isn’t just for whoops and jumps - it helps keep tire contact in cross axle situations too.

 

funny thing is that isnt fully drooped out, you can see my limit straps have slack in them.. its almost maxed for off camber cause my wheel is stuffed, but for a jump or whoop situation i still have a little more travel haha

 

C'mon guys, keep'em coming! This stuff is like porn. I NEED MORE PICS TO STARE AT!

 

or i could, you know, get my own truck dirty too, which would be way more fun

Took my son to football camp yesterday, and the "only" place to park was on this pile of gravel. First time I've articulated the suspension since replacing stock with Radflos! It's a terrible pic, but it was raining and i just took it to make my taco-driving brother in law jealous. Those 37s fit nicely up in the fender wells, and i couldn't find anywhere that was even close to rubbing.

 

I’m the buddy who got Patagonia milestars. They balanced easily, are way quieter than my Toyo RTs, and a butt load lighter.

 

Love it. Someone on here warned me this forum would be hazardous to my bank account. Pictures like these are exactly why that's true.

 

I can't even on this last obstacle pic!!!

 

It’s called The Gap and it’s impossible to see from the driver seat. @papasmurf spotted me down it, and then I spotted him down. Then we spotted @jc153 and a small handful of others. @Sunnier did you run The Gap too? I was so focused on not dropping trucks into it, I kinda failed to pay attention to who was actually coming through. LoL.

 

Haha! I chose not. I had such a good time and got to do so much more than ever before, that I decided I should save some good stuff to look forward to. Besides it was really fun watching from down in front.

 

Did you get pics of me going up that steep obstacle before this one? I haven't seen any, and would like to.

 

Hell yeah Kevin that obstacle was fun and got the blood flowing. Nice spotting, thank you sir.
Dion took this pic.

 

I'm sure pics dont do it justice.. had one similar at a local trail of ours...

 

I wouldn’t trust myself spotting that. I’d throw hands on that one. Badass run for sure! @Erichudgins so I see a wett expedition trip out there in the future? Looks great

 

That was a gnarly run. You shredded that pretty much spotter free. The nuts on @Erichudgins must be The stache

 

Its not the stuff that maxes the articulation, the leafs will only twist so much before they hold the axle. You'll never see them articulate to the point of stretching the limit strap.

 

I dunno about a butt load lighter.....
Patagonia milestars NHS 22050502 124Q ROWL D/8 18.0/32" 10.00 12.7 36.80 3525@50 77.30

Directly from their site,
Patagonia milestars 77.30Lbs for 37/12.5/17s
The Toyo RTs are 78lb for 37/12.5/17s

0.7Lbs seems like a small infant butt load....

 

He had 35s so he's saying his new tires (37s) are lighter than his old

 

oh gotcha, that makes sense.
My 37 Ridgegrapplers were about 1lb heavier than my 35 Toyo MTs

 

Wrong. 71.3lbs. There’s two different 37x12.5r17 tires. I didn’t get nhs tires. So even 37 vs 37 they are significantly lighter than toyo RTs. Dare I say a butt load lighter

Item 22050500 for reference

 

I do believe I may have video of said obstacle.

I need to get my head out of my ass and upload some of my medias.

She’s got some pretty serious phot chops doesn’t she?

Pretty sure I have video of you going down The Gap and also up (and almost over) that one climb the Pink Jeeps go down. The one Sunny’s talking about.

Dude, I can’t wait to get down to Tennessee from Columbus and hit some dirt with you guys! That spot looks fun!

 

I wanna sex your wheels. I’ve always loved colored rims.

 

Nice, you had the Toyo RTs in the same size?
I have the RTs now 37x13.5x17s and they are really smooth and quite.
But then again only have like 100 miles on them

 

I've driven both Nitto Ridge Grappler (mine) and Toyo Open Country R/T (bro's), Nitto is slightly quieter.

 

Naw I had 35 toyos. They’re great just heavy tires.
