i just realized looking at my axle shot that i had put the rears on backwards from the way i wanted to but i was looking at pics of others nd they had there tires all diff ways which way is best?

oh and did ne1 notice with the 96t spur there is a rubbing sound with the gear cover on, but i couldn't see where it was rubbing...

I ran the same wheel setup without drilling air holes in the rims with no foams. I didn't enjoy it. Too bouncy on the rocks. I drilled 2 1/8" holes in each rim, and did heavy star cutting and narrowed foams. Much better and great traction.

I also noticed that in snow crawling... flipping your tires around(side for side) to reverse the tread pattern makes the tires dig like crazy abd works nice.

i didnt drill ho,es in the rims cuase i didnt have a drill at work ..u can see that i cut 2 holes in each tire to let air escape, the on is on the left tire on the front axle pic..

too bad all the snow just melted or i could try the tires backwards.
