finished my tube fenders

Capt. Rick, it seems like your getting a bit of criticsism here. I gotta say nice rig for sure, and try playing with lower pressure's you may find it performs much better at lower pressures.

Sweet fenders too BTW!

Rig looks great ! As for traction? Pits are hard side walls buddy of mine had some on his j**p, he lowered the pressure to like 3 you couldn't even tell? I told him to lower it more he laughed , he said " I took the vaulve stem out!" they still didn't move?

Jeeps weight less than a 40 ,? Not sure about your rig? Drive em lowest air presure you can go... See if that helps

Just asking about the springs, I only wish that I had all the cool stuff you have!

A friend has the same tires, he takes the valve stems out then after all the pressure is out he re-inserts them.

Sweet rig!!!

I run the same tire 39x14.5x15 Maddog and unless you have actually run them dont comment, one of the badest tires out for the rocks. Air down to about 5 in the front and 3-4 in the rear and start crawling stuff. Very good tire and the price is not bad at all for what you are getting.

Nice rig by the way.

Yepper, a stock heep weighs less than a 40, for a number of reasons; thinner frames, (now) mostly plastic bodies, scrawny pathetic nubs for axles, thinner, narrower leaves (when they were leaf-sprung, their coilover system likely weighs more)The F series motor weighs a ton (although I'm wagering on Captain Rick running a B motor, the valve cover looks like a late 2B) H series transmissions also weigh alot.

I'd honestly wager my first-gen pickup weighs greater than or equal to a comparable year jeep.


Great job on the fenders Cap'n!
I'm no fan of tube fenders, but every now and again somebody come along and makes me second guess. Keep us posted with any further updates!
