Been doing a little work on the Hoe

[Stinky_Hooker]

Finally got some new tires on, went with the Cooper AT3's. Ive been very pleased with them so far, great ride, quiet and do well offroad. 285/75/16 LT load range E tires so hopefully they will last on this heavy bastage.

She's a featherweight compared to mine I bet. My BURB weighs in close to 7K pounds without me in it. People hate me driving across there yeards. My 245/75/16 tires with all that weight in the nose digs right in.

[smokeonthewater]

featherweight indeed....LOL

My ford as equipped weighs 9800 with full fuel tanks ... rides on 6 255/85R16E bfg mt's

Btw the 'ho is lookin MIGHT sharp there

I havent weighed my dually, but my van went across the scales at 8500 lbs, that was before I added another section of shelves and a tool box

[smokeonthewater]

It's amazing what we can load on em.... with my 5er and my jeep in tow I'm 30,600 with room for another 70 gallons of fuel on the truck and all water tanks empty on the 5er..... of course that weight is spread over 16 tires... LOL

Stink, did you end up cranking up the torsion bars any?

[Stinky_Hooker]

My bars are cranked about an inch, thats all. That was 50K ago and ball joints are holding up great so I aint going any higher.




I havent put her on scales but Ive got alot of extra crap that stays in it daily. Winch/cradle and all the wiring that goes with it. Inverters, drills, saw, dual batteries, machetes, axe, ice chest,ropes and chains, etc, etc... spare hub trailer parts. Also My tool drawers (not counting the above items) weigh at least 300 lbs if not more Im sure.


I like to be prepared for everything.

well I was gonna suggest going 1"... carry on....lol
