Great project! Looks like a toy behind your truck!

haha i know it was so much smaller in person than i imagined

Cool Mini Me Dillion!

Get your F-150 fixed up since the last incident?
actually no. i just haven't taken the time to get it fixed. being a 2wd now is keeping my truck spotless though haha which is a benefit. also its so much fun to take the samurai out in the mud to get my "fix" i guess you would call it because i don't have to wash it afterwards.
awesome! I prefer boggers.. no experience with the other tire!
yeah most people for mud would say boggers but i've heard you need more wheel speed or power to spin them which the samurai is lacking right now. the ltbs are suposed to be an upgraded tsl and close to as good as a bogger in mud. i think im going to go with the ltbs for now since it isn't geared yet then once its as big as i want to go in like a year i'll get some 39.5 inch boggers for it.

That looks awesome so far, I really like it. Boggers are the way to go but if you don't regear and such for them they wont be very useful unless you can spin them enough to clear them out. A lot of people I know run tsl's on their trucks and they go where the people with boggers go so if ltb's are a upgraded tsl's than they should be pretty good.

thanks. yeah thats why i think im going to go with the ltbs. right now i just leave it in first and keep my foot steady on the throttle and it goes through the mud with no problem so i need a tire that cleans easily. i'll save the boggers for later when i have it geared really low and the axles upgraded so i can spin them.

It's not heaven . . . it's Iowa!

Keep us posted :cheers:
