Well i went and picked up my new tires the other day and i'm going tomorrow to get the new to me wheels. They are michelin xl's. They are 11.00-16's and measure a true 38 inches. I will have them mounted sunday morning at friends shop. But for now heres some pics.
Sorry about the crappy cell phone pics. I'll bring the camera with me sunday when they get mounted.
Actually they are pretty quite tires. I would say they are about as loud as a set of bfg at's.
I think they will work pretty well here in florida. I switched to 4.9 gears instead of the 4.3's, i don't think i'm going to need anymore gear for the mud and sand here.
35's on 4.9's in our truck isn't quite enough power, uphill climbs when driving on the road can suck. Houdini is running 37's and crawler gears or 5.13's and even he says it's pushing it. Just a heads up. Power is definitely going to be lacking at times, but you should be fine depending on what you are driving to/from.
The nice thing about living in florida is there are no hills... i mean no hills. I do plan to go with some 5.38's if rugged rocks and superior due team up and come out with them but i don't know if there is going to be enough interest ( i won't pay 450 dollars for a set of gears from ac).Also i had 4.3's originally so the 4.9's felt like a good enough jump to me. I deffinatly won't have all the power i want, but with this gearing and low range i will be able to go through just about anything in fl. I do have another set of axles i want to put under the truck but i really want to finish this portion of the build first so i can enjoy it now and make the URE run at the end of this year, then i will tear it all back apart after the first of the year to build it bigger and better. Hopefully running the matching 4.88's up front will save the stock shafts for now, i do have spare shafts but don't want to spend money to upgrade the 44 when it's only going to be in there 6-8 more months.

Hello. So as I’ve been settling into my pro 4x I’ve been noticing some ride quality differences compared to my 2wd sv. The pro 4x feels like the cab is kind of rocking after the wheels. Like if I cut the wheel there is slight delay in the cab following the wheels. Not sure if this makes since...
Wheeled into and camped at snake lake this weekend. Out of the Gold Lake area North/East of Downieville Ca. I have been to this lake before but do not recall this trail being so hard. Found a USFS trail rating tag which read most difficult. huuuu I thought as I past it. I didn't take one...
So after some time pondering whether I wanted to buy a rear bumper from ShrockWorks or Hefty FabWorks, I decided I didn’t want to wait. So I decided that I would design and build it myself with help from my dad. After all, I have all the tools to design and engineer one… plus my dad is a...
Hey there!
I have a pro 4 that has a bone stock suspension. I will be adding an aluminum frame bed topper along with a cvt mt Shasta tent.
My question is.... will the stock pro 4 suspension handle the increase in weight?
Any help and info would be greatly appreciated! Cheers!
