chays2464 do you have any insider info if they are still going to be making the MT2s? I know pro comp is in that hoonigan BS, I see they still sell them but in like 4 dumb bro dozers sizes and 40s. I really don't feel like doing all the work to upgrade to 40s:laughing:, this tire is damn near perfect for my use!

There ilare so many radial Mt tires in 37s and 40s, I can't imagine not finding another one that's super similar.

It was to much load on that long shank, I bent 3 of them and the final straw was snapping the threads off last Rubicon trip

Why not the old tried and true y link style?
 
made it out to JV for a weekend before Thanksgiving madness, the trails seemed extra chewed up. No breakage for me surprisingly.

Ran Turkey as a warm up, then Chunder. Hit clawhammer then went to Kings Veto. Kings Veto was no joke, I can see why the rear steer guys like it, we wheeled with a lot of rear steer buggies this trip and it makes it intimidating when you are in a trail rig on leafs lol.

That night I tried backdoor and finally made it! The second ledge after backdoor is harder than the first ledge surprisingly. After that we ran Resolution and then hit the hay.

Next day we ran jackhammer (which Colin and I both broke driveshafts on earlier in the year). After Jack we went down Sledgehammer then up Wrecking ball. Someone winched a rock into the main line on the waterfall so everything changed. Colin rolled on it, got him recovered then winched him and Todd up it. Tacoma made it one shot due to the wheel base.

That night we ran Chunder again and Colin broke a front driveshaft so we called it quits, turned around and headed home Sunday for the long 6 hr drive home. Taco worked flawlessly and new steering felt really good, no driveshaft breakage!

What's your wheelbase again? You only bobbed the bed, didn't shorten the wheelbase right?

I am at 128" I haven't messed with the wheelbase to much just bobbed the bed. I am debating shortening it a few inches when I link the back. It works really well for most trails until I get into the tight stuff and then it feels like wheeling a limo
 
I've done some really steep climbs with ~105" wb, (in super low sling rigs) I don't know how you guys wheel ~130" :laughing:

But I can see once you get used to it, you might not want to change it too much.

so far its worked really well for everything we have out here, there are times I want shorter wheel base but going up or down super steep stuff its stable and planted.
