Camskill - p.s. Ive lost my mind!

Theres a guy round here with a lifted 2.4 with 36's on and he has to use lo ratio to get up the hill near me to get to his mums.

Am I correct in remembering that they have to get up to some stupidly high rpm's just to actually getting moving on that type of wheel size too?

[RodLeach]

Hey Rod, I dont understand all the tech stuff but even just looking at the truck wearing those boots sitting on the drive would be the b*ll*x.
Good luck Mate

Cheers mate! Im sure its going to be awesome!! wanna get back from work tomorrow ASAP to get them on... ive got wheel spacers that need removing so i hope they dont screw me big time to remove them! If they do - i'll just get tyres mounted on the new rims an sort it out myself!

Looking good m8. Wait till u see the tyre fitter pump air into them, they look even cooler with life in them.
Also, picked my puncture repaired tyre up this afternoon. So all is well.

Oh yeah. If u come to monster truck weekend, we can take turn towing u, that way u can keep up with us. hehe.

Glad to hear yours is sorted mate!! Total sh!tter if it was fubared!
Im lookin forward to getting them fitted. Its going to be great - an cool havin some extra ££ to spend (probably on a new guitar) after selling my current alloys

Ive read up on that - it will need more ooomph to get them rolling due to the extra weight - but i dont believe it will be too excessive



*fingers crossed*

Ever heard a 2.4 scream?

[surfenstein]

respec,to the big man.nice one rodders.ive got a spare v8 here if you fancy the transplant.that should give you a bit more get up and go.cant wait to see the piccys of them on the beast.

[surfenstein]

Ever heard a 2.4 scream?

yea several times.

[Apache]

You need to make a certain amount of torque through the converter, and a big tyre will require more torque to start turning. Not really a matter of weight, a bit like trying to pull away in 4th gear.

Would this be a time when a manual would be better, or would you just eat clutches?

Rod, you did fit an uprated steering damper didn't you? If not, its a mod you will be glad to do!

[BEAST]

Yeah, these wheels and tyres have really rinsed my bank account.
And i still got 1 of each to get yet.
But its all worth it in the long run.

[RodLeach]

Ever heard a 2.4 scream?

mine roars!!!


seriously im sure i can live with it!!

Im not a fast driver anyway - it will be a shame to be lacking anything at all extra but its not overly important due to the lack of miles i do.

Honestly - if i was looking at 10,000miles a year + i wouldnt bother with 35's

but b*llucks to it!!!! How often can you look back an say you took a chance

i paid £590 for them delivered. John craddock is over £800 delivered so i wont care if Ebay is my only option!

Getting respect off 'surfenstein' is awesome Cheers bud!

V8 may be on the cards at one point! cant do any harm can it!

Ive heard manual is best with the correct gearing - otherwise its just lost! without auto is erm...(anyone got a nice way of saying cr*p?)

Steering damper is on the list mate! might get that with the alloy money!
If i can work out how to get at the damn thing - Air con rad looks right in the way

Oh, he is so gonna think you're a p*ss taking sod when he finally fits them and goes for a, (almost said run), jog in it.

[Apache]

Yeah, in a vacuum, on a friction free surface, it will be a 200mph machine!

It WILL look awesome though!
