Those won't last long in Moab!

Better be careful, you'll put an eye out!:bwgy:

[rowhard]

Think I would rather be in front of Ldub then behind,... even though it is rather entertaining :bwgy:

[Ascinder]

Those look awesome!!!!

[Ldub]

Inspired by Glee, your new spikes make me think of Madonna:bgwb:

[Mile High VX]

Very nice Dub.

LOL, reminds me of the Chariot actor Kirk Douglas had in the movie "Ben Hur".:laughing:

Haven't decided that yet, I'm sure I'll need a few replacements here & there along the trails.

Not likely Mr. K, I gave up on giving any more value than what I paid for other peoples opinions...a LONG time ago...:yesgray:
In my entire life, I've never had any desire to "go with the flow" or be seen driving what everyone else is driving.
All the way back to my first conveyance, (a tricycle, I think) I've been personalizing whatever is getting me from point A, to point B...:yesgray:
With little or no regard for what everyone else might be doing.

My Father (RIP) & Brother are the exact opposite, they'll drive a new car off the lot & never change a thing other than normal wear items...seems so sad & boring to me, but as long as they are happy with their choices...:_confused

Brotha Dub,

I'm usually not into the spike thang but they look real nice.

Are they pressed in or threaded? It looks like they went into existing holes on the rim so what did you have to drill?

Thanx T man...:mbrasd:
What look like existing holes are just decorative indents, made centering the drill bit E-Z...:naughty:
The studs are threaded on the inside, & held on from the back side of the rim by...what else?...stainless cap screws...:yesgray:

Oh, & let's not forget...a little loc-tite.

[tom4bren]

You drilled all the way through the rim??? Not sure I'da had the nerve for that!!!

[BigSwede]

Hard to believe he was gay...

I used to subscribe to CREEM magazine back in college...great stuff, wish I had saved them. Some of their reviews of albums by bands like Journey had me rolling on the floor :yeso:

[nfpgasmask]

Nice touch, you know I like spikes, I just prefer them to be a bit bigger! :evil:

[Ldub]

It's only the webbing between the spokes, didn't drill through anything that's crucial to keeping compressed air on the inside...:smilewink
Each hole is only large enough to accept a stainless 8-32 cap screw.

[Dumke]

Looks awesome Dub..


But remind me to drive in front of you which every year I think I have.. Just in case one breaks off.. Dont plan on changing a flat on a trail this year lol. :D


Seriously tho looks like rim came that way very nice touch..



I never understood why people keep things the same and never personalize.

Yea...I know...:hj:...

Because most people have no personality to begin with. And then there are people like Ldub, who have an abundance!! :laughing:

My guess is...

You probably think about madonna all the time anyway...:yesgray:

What's a portable system...:_thinking

I'm guessing boom box, but at your advanced age, it could be portable oxygen...:yesgray:

Well, I guess if you weren't in such good shape,...& started smoking...:laughing:

[tom4bren]

Lbud,

Aren't you afraid that the Red Rock Grannie Panties will get caught up in those spikes whilst at Moab???

[LittleBeast]

So since LDub is rather humble about showing new photos or making a thread about his awesome new tires, and newly shined up rims, here are the photos to look at, next set of tires I will be right there with you ;) Nicely done LBud, 35"x12.5" R20 Mudd Grapplers installed:

You Sir, are the master of understatement...:yesgray:

But as much as I'm anxious to hit the dusty trails of Red Rock Country, I'm even MORE anxious to see all my VX Bros & Sisterz...:yes:

And even more bummed than I am anxious with regard to all the others who WON'T be there this year...:(.:sighwgray.:waab:

I'm just hoping that next year is gonna be MASSIVE, with all those MIA's from this year, along with all the first timers who have said they're coming next year in attendance...:thumbup:

[Ldub]

Lbud,

I fear for the well being of no undergarment...:laughing:
