You think I have never done that? C'mon.

Really wanted to go to that. I had to work unfortunately. Always some cool cars and trucks out there.

My truck is looking a little different these days. Close to being finished. Thinking about slapping a new coat of paint on it. Just can't decide what color. Original color was green like Josh's truck, but I do like the tan color to.
looks awesome! Was the cage cut like that when we were at Johns?

No the cage was not cut yet at John's. We just ran out of time that day.
Made it
Good deal.
Did You Spot any Debris???

I scoured the sea and have requested OT though nothing unusual was observed. I will add that the number of entertainment options on an international flight in a 747 was pretty darn good.

Glad ya made it HH, happy hunting!
Puttin' a little science to running the low air pressure. Would love to see what the foot print looks like at 6lbs.

That's really cool Ted; where'd you come across that? I think it'd be fairly easy to come up with a basic formula to determine the average size & weight differences vs the PSI.

This new site sux maybe bc I use my phone. I would use the app but u can't get to the clubhouse or I can't figure it out?!? Anybody know how to get to them ?
I am not a huge fan either and I prefer using the app over the site. If you go to the site and go the the Ga Crusiers page, you can click on "watch this forum" and when you go to the app under "watched threads", it will show the GA Cruisers page...
Hope that made sense...
Ahh cool yea I got it working now 
thx nick.
thx nick.
Ted,
Thanks for posting this up. It is very interesting how they took foot prints at the various pressures to characterize the performance of this tire on the subject truck. Depending on how serious each of was on knowing how the tires on our truck will perform, we could re-run this test at home.
Steve,
This method could yield a basic formula for the tire/wheel combination tested on this vehicle. In the past, I have calculated tire floatation performance and iteratively sized the tires for planes that I was designing. For a universal tire, the formula is fairly complicated because of the numerous variables [as I recall; applied load, overall tire diameter, rim diameter, tire width, wheel width, ply rating, tire pressure, CBI characteristics of the surface (the tire deforms differently as the soil deforms), ...]. Therefore, this method may not yield a universal formula for any tire but it could give you the tools/data to characterize and predicte the varied performance of your tires on your truck.
If I were to do this, I would check the load difference between front and rear tires. If I were going to go to this effort to dial in my performance, I might as well take the extra couple of steps to make it a complete job.
