What tires are those at $119 a piece? I'm also trying to get my little project together.
Not for sure. I called the tire shop I used to work at looking for the biggest 14" mud grip they could get me. I think he said it was a maxxis Lt mud grip. Tirerack has one but its an all terrain in a 27x8.50-14 @ $107

oh there is a guy on here with a pair of Maxxis on his wagon let me find a picture or screen name for you....
After taking scrappy for some test drives we realized that the fender flares were too low and would be ripped off after a few fun days so we cut the fenders up higher and remounted the flares so there is a full 11 inches of fender gap.
Still working on suspension and clearances Chip. Can't be functional if it can't roll.... :smug:
(please remember that Bam's wagon is a years worth of work, so as you can see. It's a lot for 1 guy.) (thank you Josh for all your help) haha
I also have to run my business during the day. Now tubbin' the rear wheel wells some more... I have been recording up to nearly 10" of travel up front.
MORE PICTURES!!
I'm liking the hogged out wheelwells on the swampers. Looks like it means business.
I know well the areas you guys have to be fighting with. I 'm curious to see your solutions. I had a little more room to play with because of the body lift.
That 3 wheel stance is tough... How's in world is there 10 inches of travel .... Wow
Well, I'm pretty sure these Accord spring only have a spring rate of like 160lbs. right? so they are very soft, but very tall.
the wheel travels up and skims the top of the fender arch which is cut out (as you can see) over 10" from the top of the tire (fully extended)
here is a shot of the measurement of the wheel at full extension w/ fender flare, (still over 10")..
(I will try to grab a shot of the front compressed, but I have only been able to do that over bumps at higher speeds, [20-30 mph])
So as this picture displays, we are traveling the front tire 10"+...
and here is the rear wheel stuffed. Now thats hella flush, 4 by 4 fitment.

How hard is it to get Scrappy moving with the new wheels and tires?
Not hard at all I was extremely surprised. Still drives like a Civic in nearly every way..
the gears are long now, and hasn't hindered Scrappy's acceleration.
it works out great because you spend most your time in SL, 1st or 2nd if your offroad anyway.
Having SL be that tiny bit taller is a great advantage.
ok so its a long shot but i found these .... remember i got them to raise Odie up to put stop the front end from making then noise but some one wouldnt have no parts of raising up noting ... LOL
they could stop the front of Scrappy front dipping ...???? or u dont think..>?
hmmm that just may help us. I'll do my homework and try to find out what spring rate those are.. I've got the front all clear now...
But after loading Scrappy with a small percentage of his "external weight", the rear is sagging.. :l
maybe these springs end up in the rear, I need something a bit more stiff I think. I'll get as much done with Scrappy as I can today and let you know what I decide.
Hopefully an update today.. my challenge last night was attempting to mount and secure the rear bumper skin, its proved tough as there are no longer any tabs or mounting points near the rear due to all the rust having robbed us of them..
well guys,
to tell U the truth this is the rear bumper section i purchased to replace the inner bumper support ....
and yes a built in receiver hitch has been requested......!!
and then mount the spare and jerry can on this angle over the rear glass giving full view of tail lights and rear tag ...!!!!
Well we got scrappy's "grill" back in his "mouf". We also got the hookup on a custom Motec wiring harness for the brush guard, full raychem wrap and custom Circletrackimports.com heat shrink... real racecar shit.
And we also got the rear bumper back on and now we are starting to work on he rear tire carrier.
