Poor man's side by side

[Xfaxman]

-------------------------------------

The thing about welding the rear is she's armstrong steering, so I'm very hesitant to do anything that might make it harder then it is... I suppose if I found a 2nd set of spider gears I could always go back.

How about a poor man's locker for the poor man's side by side! :thumbsup:

HAHAHAHA... still sorta a limited slip.. How much depends on how many wraps

LOL, never seen that one!

Came home from work early thinking I'd start on the rear body... but dug out the groover and saw what I could do to make these tires work better.

Before;


After;


Turf tires anyone?! LOL Pics don't do the change justice... it's easily 3x more agressive.

For anyone who's not firmiliar to groovers;


It's just like a big soldering iron, with a blade on the end

Here's the buisness end;


First tire took about 45min. The rest should go a fair bit faster.

Here, I think this shows better





A quick check shows 4/32s before and 8/32s after.

That might be just enough to keep you from getting stuck. :thumbsup:

Wow! let's see the new vid tomorrow of you driving up a snowy cliff, eh?

Didn't realize how bald those suckers were. Any concerns about digging 4/32 deeper into the remaining tire meat?

No cliff today, but with snow coming, whipping doughnuts on the cul-de-sac is a very real posibility.

I am a little concerned... I hit cords once on each tire...we'll see. I'll plug or slime as needed.

It's not so much the depth, but the extra biteing edges that are nice and square as opposed to rounded that's gonna make a big difference (hopefully).

Finished the tires... took two cuts in between the outter lugs


Probably enough there to fill four or five med Tims cups


Thought I'd show the angle of the dangle because the other pics didn't really show it

Those tires do indeed look like turf tires now
