disciplerocks's B2 build thread

I would most definetly get tires first. no point in a locker when u still dont have a tire with traction

 

[disciplerocks]

Yeah the tires should be a good deal. Same price I paid for Claws too. Maybe I can get some back outta those.

Found these also, but it doesn't say rim size.

Nope. And Jay keeps bustin my balls over that line.

Dustin, I'm about to get a groover (I know Gregg already has one, but if you seen what I'm gonna do, it's not just a 5 minute job. Anyways, if you want, you can groove those claws a little more to help with the sell...

[disciplerocks]

Nah, but I'll probably grove the TSLs.

 

[RangerSVT]

Good, if you want you can practice on mine, I have a LOT of grooving to do

you ever ran these tires i got a set of five for 250.00 on CL there like new but there 36 12.5 16.5 military tires cant beat the price

 

[disciplerocks]

Yeah I've seen some military tires around for cheap. but 16.5" rims aren't easy to come by. Especially for 5x5.5.

 

[luke006]

ya i found the black steel wheels i have on summit for 80 a piece but i guess im kinda out of luck if i cant find anymore of the tires down the road

 

[disciplerocks]

Finally installed my front driveshaft, and added some gussets to the trac bar mount. I know it ain't pretty.

Looked at the TSLs today. Good tread for the price, but the sidewall cut worries me. he said he had a tire place patch it and he is running a tube. Its a good 2" cut.

I'd be cautious with a cut sidewall. Would be ok as a spare though.

TSL's suck for a daily driver anyway. I had 36" tsl radials for a while.

 

[kroussinoffroad]

I wheel with a feller that has 1 sliced and patched tire and one that has a stick shoved thru it and patched. they were both stitched and hot patched VERY NICELY. i'm not 100% sure how it was done or who he had do it but he hasnt had an issue since they were done. He tends to be a bit hard on his rig since he's running a 4 banger and 33's he has a hard time keeping all the tire's churning being locked front and rear

 

[disciplerocks]

We'll see. And they can't be worse than my bias claws.

 

[disciplerocks]

My new FW 8.8 and hopefully everything I need to swap it to disc brakes.

 

[escort_gts]

You just going to use the gears in the current axle for the fw8.8?

 

[disciplerocks]

Yes sir.

 

[88_Eddie]

wicked sweet!

what are you using to run discs?

 

[n_bannerman]

You could hot knife the claws to get a bit more use out of them. I took a grinder to mine to get back some of the biting edges.

 

[disciplerocks]

Redrilled Explorer setup.

I did some research. Thought about running 97+ 8.8. They have discs, but they have a metric bolt pattern and require a minimum 16" rim. So I looked into the Explorer setup. The center hole on the rotor needs enlarged, or the hub on the shaft turned down. Then redrill the rotors and thats it, its bolt on from there and I can keep my 15" rims.
