tires were also an issue. i dont know the limitations of the sidewall, or how the tread section is going to hold up under road use. if its locked, its going to chunk like hell, and that will make them illegal. I would be worried about how much traction an aggricultural tire will be able to have on pavement, especially wet pavement or in turns (and being locked, if you are locked).
Yea I would be extremly happy if I could drive the tractor tires on the road but I don't think that will work out, most likely I will end up getting a set of 52's as DD tires and just use the tractor tires offroad.
It seems you parents have money, and will be a prime target if you run over some fag at ncsu who's father is a lawyer.
Hey now, my jeep is completely funded by me, don't anybody start thinkin Im spoiled and my parents pay for my junk
my dad hates that I spend soo much $$ on what I do,
On a More serious Note why would they go after my parents in a law suit, I am over 18, and the vehicle is in my name? I guess I am still a dependant there tax forms, I'm just curious . . . lol
no, not necessarily. you've yet to give us any specs on your system. i'm betting it's a mismatched thrown together pile of tractor and forklift parts, in which case it's NOT okay to drive on the street. unless you dropped a few thousand and had a complete system specifically designed and the components matched for street driving.
Ok my bad, to be honest I have no real idea what my system is I got it as a package kinda thing in a trade deal with Jeff, but here's what Jeff said earlier, and Jeff knows his stuff when it comes to Hydro:
Your steering will be fine on the streets it is a non load reactive with an open center (if you want return to center use a damn box other wise a load reactive unit with a closed center will break your hands with big tires on the trail thats why we don't use them in heavy equipment with agg. tires liability) you have a balanced cylinder so you have the same turning speed in each direction & for those of you who don't have a balanced cylinder try an orifice fitting in the clevis end of the cylinder
And as for the pinion Brakes:
there's nothing in question. they're dangerous, period. they lock up easy, fade fast, and you've got a lot more moving parts that could break between the brakes and the wheel resulting in no brakes
My bad on that when I said "In question" bad terminology for the point I was trying to get across, i guess but i was agreeing with you/others that it is an issue that needs to be addressed b4 I hit the road.
dude, i'm sorry but that is just absolutely retarded. looking cool is so important that you're ready to risk your safety and others? come on! you've already dodged the proverbial bullet how many times, and what have you learned?
i won't even get into how silly it is to care that much about how you look, safe vehicle or not.
i don't know why any of us even bother to respond to these threads anymore, we might as well just beat our heads against the wall for the good it does. or maybe you're just trolling us, sitting back and laughing at how worked up we get at your hair brained ideas.
Come on thou there's so many guys that drive huge frikin trucks on the road, if I set it up properly why can't I too?
And the responses have done good, you talked me out of the pinoin brakes and the tractor tires for on road driving
