Just curious. What is the backspace on Hummer wheels?
pottenger said:Is the negative ya get to grind your hubs on rocks.
lancey3 said:ok question for you two. why do mini truck people run w/o an air filter. i saw one without one and i was awestruck! enlighten me.
jmop said:As for the dodge front it isn't a bad axle. It is low pinion but that isn't the end of the world. One alternitive would be to get a aftermarket HP center section and DOM for the tubes, cut off the C's and put them on the new center and move everything over. Retubing the axle for DS drop is probably more expensivie then it would be worth. I thought the Dodge axles were DS drop anyway?
vetteboy said:I only run a few inches of uptravel, probably only about 3" free travel and then another half inch or so of bumpstop compression.
with the exception of the little louvers on the fenders thats a pretty sharp little hardbody body dropped prolly full 4 link tucking 20's + alot of time went into that mini (i know i used to be into those and had a very similiar truck myself but that was back in the day when 18's were huge...lol)xDUMPTRUCKx said:don't mean to be a dick but that is completely impractical.
seems like people get into the whole low center of gravity thing, which don't get me wrong is a a good thing cause we all know it doesn't take 6" to clear 33s and 8" to clear 35s etcetera etcetera.......
but having no up travel and all down travel is just plain stupid. you may as well be driving this gay ass piece
but then again you dont need travel for some sweet ass mud action! woot!
jeep/bronco said:as for the guys that do have the 1 ton setups with 36's or 38's does anything every break that one steering pic looks insane like it would not break no matter what....i guess my question is how extreme does it have to get before you start breaking stuff with that type of setup
is a 1 ton setup feasible for a dd

vetteboy said:Heh.
First, notice that the tie rod is bent in that photo.
Add to the list one stock D60 inner shaft, one stock D60 stub shaft, one 30-spline drive flange, one 35-spline drive flange, one 35-spline 4340 stub (twisted splines, didn't actually explode), and one D60 full Detroit locker.
Yes it breaks...however this is on competition-level terrain and big rocks. Aside from the twisted stub (which was warrantied) I haven't had any issues since going to 35-spline alloy inner & stub shafts. It's not all that uncommon to break stock 60 shafts, especially stock stubs.
As far as DD'ing it...there's no reason why you couldn't do it, as long as it was built properly...however it wouldn't be economical in any sense. I've got over 1000 street miles on mine as it is in the pics above.
vetteboy said:Mine is 1.5" x .25 DOM. You'll probably be fine, especially if it's higher than where mine is.
A buddy of mine used the same tube I did with the heims you mentioned, he routinely uses it as a hi-lift point to get tires off the ground.

jeep/bronco said:so with a setup like this, a weekend at tellico playing around on guardrail and helipad prolly would not sustain any breakage?
