Do you carry fluids?
Not sure on the quigly van. I dont think they have a full kit in there. It doesnt take up much room. I will bring some fluids as well. gear oil, engine oil, PS fluid, etc.Isn't the Quigley van equipped to build/fix shafts? The spare does look better there. More stable and secure too.
You know how it works with emergency parts and tools. Carry it and you'll NEVER use it. Need it and you won't have it.
Thats why they require a full size spare. Hopefully we dont pop two of them. I plan on testing them out for sure. Real low pressures and hope for the best. I duct taped the inner bead to help to keep them from burping.Oh, I wasn't suggesting you don't take a spare shaft. I was also thinking Milestar wouldn't want to look bad if someone ruined one of their tires and wondered if they would have tires on hand in sizes you guys are running.
I'm excited for you. Can hardly wait to watch it. Don't stress too much and have fun!
Supposedly their new tires are way better than the first gens. We did Rubicon last month and my buddy ended up with 3 catastrophic sidewall tears on 2 of his milestars. The gluetread repair wasnt holding that well on the first 2 tire repairs. The third rear was 180 degs from the first. He ended up stealing a spare off one of the other rigs to keep rolling.
Just got back from the trip and can give a review of the 38" MT02 that they gave me to use. First set of milestars but ive been around them in the 42" flavor. mine were stickies as well. Fist off they ride great on the road. No issues there. I ran them 7psi when offroad and they did fine in the dry stuff. We crawled some granite type rocks, some loose hill climb stuff, and some lava rock up in the PNW for a week. In the dry stuff they did just fine. Really no issues with them. It did rain one night and the guys that werent finished with the trail had to do so on wet rocks. This is where they didnt do so well in my opinion. Lots of slipping and sliding. These were new tires though so keep that in mind. No feathering or break in. I hate the sidewall design from a looks perspective and wish they were a little more square of a profile, but i cant complain how they worked for me this week. Now will i buy a set of 42s for my 4ws buggy? Probably not, but damn its hard to beat the price of them. Like i could almost get 4 sets of them for one set of 42" reds. Its tempting. Good thing is that they really seem to care about how the tires perform and will take notes from the guys using them. So hopefully they only get better.
they have a lot of editing to do. so im thinking at least a month before the first one comes out.
