This was nearly my exact line of thought.
The Sasquatch package was going to cost me approximately $2800, and that would give me 4.70 gearing, a half inch body lift, and the 35 inch tires ( and 8.5 inch wheels ) that would net another three quarters inch of ground clearance.
I felt that the...
They look great! The AT4 dubs are a solid tire, I ran the AT3ās and thought were excellent!
Curious to hear more about the feel of daily driving while the memory of smaller tires is still fresh in your mind, so heavier steering feel, how does acceleration feel?ā¦
Iād say make sure you have...
I have the standard badlands with 33ās. my thought was daily driver, so better mpg, cheaper to replace tires and still completely capable off road. All of this is true. But.
Iām thinking 35ās now after six months of ownership. If I had to do it over again, I think I wouldāve got the Sasquatch...
I dove head first down the off roading rabbit hole before receiving my bronco, I knew the basics, but wanted details.
YouTube was actually awesome - Nathan @ Outdoor Auto has excellent tire content and off roading techniques. Matt at Ozark Overlanding posts great videos on the spirit of whole...
I just donāt trust automakers to choose tires for my vehicles, knowing full well thatās the first place they save money, so itās the first thing I spend money on, less time pulling wrenches in the mud, more time driving to my favourite fishing spot.
Itās pics like these that keep the mystery of UFOs alive and well in todayās modern age of camera phones?! š
I dunno, shit breaks in the back country, itās part of the game for sure, I havenāt had a major yet, but thereās always a special place in my credit card statement š
Iām a big fan of Slippery mode up north here, it works wonders back and forth to work in the winter months. I like how it prevents those spinning on ice to instant grab on pavement scenarios, much easier on the drivetrain!
Okay, if you want to get away from the tourists, start in Coleman, AB. Thatās where you can get on the the FTR ( Forestry Trunk Road, highway 40 ), itās a long north / south run that will take you through the foothills north all the way to Grande Prairie. Itās gravel and pretty beat up in places...
Yeah when Iām in four low getting vertical, I like using the āone pedalā mode - it works wonderfully, but you do get that smell after a long run.
I check the breaks whenever I rotate the tires, so far so good.
And yes, hell yes! The Rockies are truly awesomeā¦
Out wheeling in the snow today and decided not to use Mud/Ruts like usual on a familiar trail, but manually engage 4H / RL / SBD / Trac Off - a much better experience! No unnecessary revving, smoother shifts, more predictable traction throughout the day, anyone else have similar experiences? In...
Yes, saw that particular rig before. Key differences between standard badlands suspension and other models though. More room for 35ās but also room to move, to articulate - larger tires have room to breath on the Badlands - the only thing weāre missing is 1/2ā body lift from the Sasquatch...
I have the standard badlands as well, looking at doing the same thing as you actually.
If I understand it correctly, with the Sasquatch you gain a 1/2ā in the body and 3/4ā with the 315/70ās - so approximately 1-1/4ā to 1-1/2ā in overall height.
Iāve searched EVERYWHERE and keep getting the...
315/70 ~ load E @ 34.4x12.72ā @ 70.8lbs
35x11.5 ~ load E @ 34.76x11.42ā @ 66.3lbs
35x12.5 ~ load E @ 34.76x12.52ā @ 75.52lbs
All three will fit, are load range E and are approximately 34.5ā tall - the only real discrepancy is the weight, the 35x11.5 only weighs 66.3lbs, thatās a significant...
Bolted a Milwaukee bracket down, really liked how it turned out - anchored it with the top 8 mm bolt for the tie down point on the rear drivers corner, just drilled for 1/4ā bolts w/ locking nuts on the other three corners - feels solid, time will tellā¦
