Could be that there are two different 2-jet carbs. The one Don is getting, which runs better than the Ford carb at angles, and the one that is 1/2 of a quadrajet that isn't good for anything. 8)

Dave. . .you should buy it and wheel it. There is nothing wrong with that truck. I've wheeled it myself.

He'd probably even take payments from you.

Do It Yourself Beadlocks

For all you steel wheel guys that have beadlock envy. . .I think we know of a couple of pretty good welders and there is even a guy in Yakima that makes rings like this for $200. Here's the install:

That's what I did with my 258. AX15 from a TJ with a clocked Dana 300 TCase. 5th gear is NICE and if you clock up a 300, you get a better breakover angle on that big beast.

OG, your right about the BFGs. I can't go below 7 psi without them self deflating. I'd like to know what they'd be like at 4 psi. Maybe beadlocks are in my future. It would be SO worth it to beadlock your wheels. . .200 bucks and a few handfulls of bolts/nylocks. . .bzzzzz bzzzzzzzz bzzzzzz. . .and...

Yeah, that's the one. The cool thing is that it is THE BEST at running at wierd angles. A couple of other things, loose the prestolite distributor and get a Duraspark set up out of an 80's Jeep. After that, get a Ford 300 I6 cap adapter (mid 80s) and cap and a Ford epoxy coil (mid 80s ford truck). T...

I really think that BIG radials on beadlocks would be THE snow tire.

The best snow tires I have ever seen are 38" Radial Gumbo Monster Mudders.

I think that 41" IROK radials on double beadlocks would be even better.

Honestly. . .it is almost a wash at the same PSI between our two tires. If you were talking the difference between a 35x15.50 and a 38x12.50, I'd take the taller sidewall and higher ground clearance of the 38 and just let more air out. On the other hand, I'm short and fat so I like that too. . .

yep, it is 50% higher. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm sayin'. . .your tires I think would be better overall if it was apples to apples. And, we got stuck on the same place on the same hill. I wouldn't have gotten stuck if I'd remembered my anti-gravity tires. :lol:

Jim, isn't this basically a Jeep clutch same vintage? I know it's 10 spline input. This is a tricky question. . . Jeeps, for the most part, use a 1 1/8" 10 spline tranny input shaft. Scouts, for the most part, use a 1 1/4" 10 spline tranny input shaft. So, it would seem, that the answer w...

BFGs new style MTs don't hold air because their bead SUCKS. To continue the discussion: Tall/Skinny only works if there is a BOTTOM to whatever you are driving through. Other than that you want lots of floatation. I think that the slightly taller tires like Roman has "roll over" stuff easi...

In this case I'd say that Roman's tires were better. . .IF he would have been able to air them down as fas as I did. I was at 2 psi or less most of the time and he was quite a bit higher than that. On Saturday I was REALLY hooked up but he was doing almost as well with higher air pressure. It is acu...
