They are mounted, gonna ride up on ramps one tire at a time a turn wheels to see what I need to cut. I will chalk where I need to cut then do them all at once, I like the chalk Idea so I don't backwards and cut the wrong area like someone did

lol

Had the Saws-all ready to go but found this made work a lot easier

Steak Knife!

And on to the pics



No rubbing after trimming, may rub a little if I slam on brakes.

[Flying Monkey]

Check reversing slightly turned. Also get some people in it for weight. Thats when I found I still rubbed after my cutting. Hit reverse with 4 adults backing out of a spot and rubbed fender

[navigator]

ok, we need a full side shot now clean and then dirty!

[NC_IslandRunner]

Loaded down today, had rubbing turning and even a little if I hit a dip in road. More cutting.

Tracking says the LT285/75-16E Warden AT tires I ordered (on matching BFG carcasses) for my truck should be here Saturday...

More lift so it can flex offroad...

spend a few hundred now to save yourself from new sheet metal later.

Rory, do you have the 3.42 gearing? If so how big of a pig is it with the 285's?

X2! and where is your build thread Rory?

I had 3.42s with 295/70/18s... It was obviously slower, but not that bad

[navigator]

thanks Rob, Mike did you get a lift you haven't told anyone about?

[MrSmithsTB]

Mike did you get a lift you haven't told anyone about?

Wondering the same thing... He could be talking about the Dodge.

Yes, the Cummins/Getrag/NP205/D60F/D70R (that happens to have had a Dodge shat on top of it) is my "truck" and the TB is my "TB"...

My buddy is buying the slightly less than 1/2 used up Destination M/T LT265/75-16D tires and those second gen steel wheels off of me, and I'm putting the LT285/75-16E Wardens on the stock steel wheels (that have a more ideal offset for that truck, so they don't rub on the steering box)... I'm also putting an add-a-leaf in the front (which I already have), and my buddy whose dad owns a spring / truck repair company is getting me a deal on a new set of stock springs for the rear, to replace the sagged stock ones... Like most farmers, the original owner pretty much kept 1500# of seed in the back of the truck all season every year, for weight to pull 40,000# wagons and ammonia tanks...

I didn't even think about them going on another vehicle!

Fairly sure I have the 3.73 gearing, GT4 RPO

And yes I have been slacking on getting a build thread going...

Slacking would be having one and not keeping it up. Doing as much as you have and not having one is out right abusive.

Will Mikes be the first Warden ATs bought from a member here?

Maybe someday they can become a vendor here on the site. They are getting a great track record with us.

I think so, which is really the only reason I posted about it, being on my truck, not the TB... Let's just say that I'll put them to more of a test on the truck than any TB would, as far as weight and wearing/scrubbing action...

They showed up today... The pattern is almost exact, except the siping doesn't go out as far on the outside lugs... They have the same "mold not QUITE filled" deal on the edge tread that I've seen before, but it isn't very deep, and I suspect it won't matter to the performance...
