Cream Puff

[untchabl]

I'm pretty sure that @Infamous1 took his Sami on 33's thru Lions Den. Think he had video of it.

Yeah its still on YouTube. No issues until I got crossed up and had to winch over the ledge at the exit.

Going up cream puff is never the issue. It’s the ride back to the bottom when SHTF. Been there for two big sends back to the bottom over the years. Harness up and make sure the GoPro is on.

So uh, you might want to address this as well. A weld let go while at The Ranch, and it’s just resting in that block of wood and get welded up at the front by some random dude with a suit case stick welder.

Yeah that wood was a selling point for me. It’s worth more than the Jeep is.

Probably more structurally sound!

Picking up the tires later today from a buddy. Sitting next to a sticky 37 trep
Ordered some 7in wide steel wheels with 3in back spacing. Should be here next week.

That the 35" sticky UTV tire?

Yup. It’s the maxxis roxxzilla. Basically the little brother of a trep.
35x10x15

Roxxzilla, right ?

Ive kicked around putting these on my toyota for years. Interested to see how they work. They are suuuuuper sticky. At least as sticky as a trep, if not more. The only downside is the tread is significantly shorter. On the plus side, you could buy 3 sets of these for 1 set of 37" treps!

They are definitely softer than a trep. Sidewall is very thin too. I’ll let you know how they do.

The load rating is what would concern me. They are rated for 730# max and pretty much all full bodied rigs are well above that.

I think they would be amazing on a samurai.

Excited to see pics of these mounted on the XJ.

Stock Cherokee is like 3k lbs so I shouldn’t be too far off that with all the weight reduction I’ve done.
also going to take the front/rear bumpers off cause they are anchors

I know alot of guys in some of the cherokees pages on the book of faces run them.

 

[Van-go]

Getting closer.

The access holes in the floor for welding the cage should make it easier to wash the mud/rust out.

Haha awesome, my first car was a teal and gold 94xj!

In Harlan this weekend. Actually walked over and looked at it, I got nothing for it. I don’t have the balls for that one

 

[willness33]

In all my trips to Harlan I've never once thought cream puff would be doable in my rig. I stood at the top one time and almost vomited when I thought about the penalty for failure.

Was that back in the summer of 2007? I'm pretty sure I was there that weekend.
