37" hummer tires & beadlocks on a 100?

[p0opstlnksal0t]

Are there people running recentered hummer beadlocks and 37" tires on their 100 series?

There would be some fitment issues without a SaS. At a minimum, a 1.5" body lift, steering spacer, washer reservoir relocation, lowered radiator plus some bending and possibly some cutting up front. It would be tough, but doable. It would be a fair amount of work.

 

[p0opstlnksal0t]

I'mtoying with the idea of going with a 100 series vs an 80 series

 

[paflytyer]

Can't go wrong wither way, but the 100 isn't an 80. If you want 37's and crawling, you want an 80.

As for offset, the H1 wheels have a 7" backspacing while the 100 series ~6.9". So one could probably get a 5x150 to 8x6.5 wheel adapter and make the wheels fit w/o reentering the H1 wheels.

Are the 80 solid axles stronger than the 100 series ifs?

Holly UNSPRUNG WEIGHT nightmare, Batman..

Why will you ever want to expose a vehicle is not made for such massive forces to them..??

I just want to learn..??

But please, find somebody to run a proper "finite element analysis" on the suspension components, pivots & attachments to the frame and the frame itself > Red No Bueno..

Ps: the two wheel vehicle holly grail is "Weightless" rotationals thingies but not only that but derailleurs, internal hubs, disc brakes on bicycles and final drives, sprockets whatever's is hanging of the "swingarm" on motorcycles.

The main issues, densers/heavier springs, shims, circuits, fluids, need for exponentially more heat dissipation, much stiffer structures, mountings, hangers, aka endless troubles.

Because he wants to. It doesn't have to make sense to you for somebody to do what they want.

Comparing bicycles to 4 wheeled automotive is not anywhere in the same league. We weigh these things down with armor whereas the amateur bicycle crowd spends $100 on a water bottle holder that is .5 grams lighter...

In reality, fitting 37s onto IFS will be a challenge but can be done. It's not the mainstream thing to do around here, and you'll want to lift it with a combination of suspension/body lift to achieve your end goal. Running HMMV 37s won't be easy as you'll have interference into the body, when flexing especially in the front. If you're looking for a turnkey setup with off the shelf parts for 37s, the 80 series is the way.

I concur. In fact, I knew several guys in the 4Runner/Tacoma crowd running 37s on their IFS. And I can attest that the 100 series is built way stronger than those trucks.

I guess I'm just too pragmatic and a wuss that follows the basic laws of Physics, if is for "Looks" sure go right ahead but a wheel that has 200% maybe higher amount of gyroscopic forces dealing with is going to take far longer to accelerate, turn and stop and all the part attaching them to the frame are going to cry bloody murder..

Well for some people the joy of the game is to make things lighter for others is to make them tougher aka heavier and then for others is to optimize the "Power to weight Ratio"

I will love to see it done, for sure, it will be fun..
