They are 2.2 Flat Irons with 1.9 beads and then I cut a couple MM row out of both outter lug rows to skinny them up. They are now slightly wider than a 1.9 Flat Iron but benefit from the taller lugs. One of my Favorite tires right now!

I love how old and abused this thing is. I could build newer rigs but I like this one and enjoy messing with it so its not going anywhere. Whenever it has somethin quit or get sloppy I replace it and move on lol

For sure!!!
I made the mistake so many times in the past building a good rig, then selling it only to regret it after. Now I have one rig I'm sticking with. The tires look great, I'm wondering if that would be legal for my local class 2 comps but I think max tire height is 4.75" for that class :S

They are right at 4.75" tall so as long as you dont have a modded tire rule in Class 2 you should be good! I have to add a couple rows of tread to the 2.2 Iron to make my 5" setup I also like to run which would be too tall for your rules.

Shake down at Green River went quite well despite falling off the first obstacle and breaking a brand new rod end right off the parking lot LOL. I snapped another later on and figured out what was causing the issue. Ill sort it out when I re-do the rear links, this was just to get me out on the rocks for the weekend! Otherwise, some weight in to make up for what I lost going from brass tubes to aluminum and then I should be good to go.









Towards the end one of my rear uppers broke the rod end and I finished the day without it. Even with the sloppy rear end due to it she crawled really well. The added steering was very nice but more important, the lack of slop was exactly what I was shooting for.

Been a while! My servo mount wasnt up to snuff and even after adding a couple layers of steel to the mix it would still bent and give when in a bind. I also noticed my angles were a little off so I cut up the old mount, broke out the welder and put together a super quick fix.



Originally I was going to just tack it up and go but decided to go overkill just to make sure its bulletproof





Gonna dust off the rest of the rig and give it a shot here soon hopefully.
