How long did you have the STT Pros, from the pic I can see that they had similar uneven wear to the ones I had. They were absolutely terrible and I got rid of them with much less wear than yours. They become so loud and rough it was unbearable. I would never recommend that tire to anyone.
My set has 30k on them. Wear pattern is uneven and they are noisy as hell on the highway but a fantastic tire off road. There is still about 9mm of tread on them.
Glad you liked them offroad. From my experience with tires, they were mediocre offroad. Not even worth buying for offroad use IMO.
I purchased and received the same louvers lasts week. Plan is to install these before i leave for rubicon on 20th. Any tips to a clean and successful install? How did the hood insulation cut and did that turn out clean on the undersideSince getting back from my Idaho trip with @Delta VS I have been tinkering with air flow.
I first cut a big hole in the fender to install a new Safari snorkel I picked up from @cruiseroutfit. I noticed that the design has changed from the old 80 series safari snorkels. The new version has a significantly larger diameter, which I am very happy about. I am running a 10” Donaldson pre-cleaner “Salad Spinner” to make sure that red UT dirt stays out of my engine.
I then moved onto the hood and started cutting more holes. I picked up a pair of 11 x 5” louver panels from Rod Louvers that looked about the right size for what I wanted. Cutting up the hood was a bit nerve wracking...but measure plenty of times, make a template and get to work.
I painted the panels to match the 1B1 champagne color with 3 coats and 3 coats of clear....even painted the stainless bolts to avoid anything too shiny.
I am pretty happy with how it turned out. You can feel the heat just dumping out of these...which was the point.
I like the look so much that today I called Rob up and ordered another set, but this time in a weld-in version rather than bolt on. I plan to do the same mod to my Cummins 80.
Take your time figuring out placement so you can avoid having to cut out any hood bracing. I had to trim the bracing in a few spots, but didn’t have to remove and bracing. Use the hood line (where it dips down from the higher center section as the inside edge and run the panels parallel to it.
