I see Pipes has a Unimog? Tell us more.

I'm doing a 3" lift on this 95 Cherokee hopefully next week, and I have sourced a set of Rubi's with 31" MTR's.

I took my 91 suburban off-roading alot. But it starting to have issues. Then I put a lift on my blazer and some 31's and did some off-roading. But I stopped. Off-roading with your daily driver is not a good idea. Just like racing, you break ****.

So that's why I have a 4 wheeler now. It's built for rugged terrian. And it is a much better time on the 4 wheeler then it is in a truck. IMO

I'm sure you broke stuff offroading a 4800 lb Suburban.

This XJ is like 3200.

Here's the CJ7 I had:


And then my 76 M880 pick up on 40s(No suspension lift. No power steering either. )

Yep, but no 4x4`s for me. I ride bikes, throwing in the part where you have to balance makes it more interesting, plus I can whip through narrower trails. I don`t have any pics though since I haven`t gone riding since before I had a digital camera. I usually ride a 1988 yamaha BW200. Most of the time I ride the michigan cross country cycle trails by branch/whiskey creek/baldwin, but I have also gone to buffalo range in ottawa illinois. Buffalo range has some pretty insane trails, it used to be a strip mine, they just opened it as a riding area and said ride anywhere so you frequently find railroad tracks crossing the trail . They don`t allow 4 wheelers there since the trails are way to narrow, most people cut the bars on their bikes down as much as possible.

John, I have a 91 Geo tracker we got for free with a weak motor. Ow er goal was to spend no more than $1500 on the whole project. We had a 6pt cage put in. I welded the rear diff up. We got 5 M/T trail tires mounted up. We put shims under the coils to get 2" of lift. Then gutted the carpet. Added a fire extinguisher and a custom brush guard from a dodge ram.

Let me tell you... this thing is a bad ****. It will go any were my quad will. It fits in places that jeep cj's can not get through. And it climbs like a mountain goat.

I've only road my quad three times since we have been trucking in the Geo.

I've got some pretty cool pics.

Ya, I only took the blazer off-roading about 6-8 times. And in that time frame I broke the following.

front driveshaft
Lower radiator fan shroud
fan clutch
scratches
safari bar
sway bar link
and what else

Off-roading is fun. But it just not a good idea to do it with your DD. It's kinda like using your formula for a dd. You would be worried about breaking something at the track and then your screwed. Your DD is down.

What do you guys think of MTR's ?

PipesTA

iTrader: (7)

John, do you plan on doing a lot of wheeling or is your rig going to be a mall crawler? MTR's are LOUD. What about some BFG AT's? Good street and mud tire.

As for the Mog, it's a 1953 Mercedes Unimog. We removed the bed, shortened the frame, and relocated the gas tanks to the back of the cab. It has a 12,000 LB PTO winch on the back. The cage is only half way done. It's sitting on some 42" Michelin XL's. Eventually, it'll be cut up and made into a 4 seater buggy with a 4BT Cummins. Great thing about it, is the portal axles and torque tubes. She's goofy looking but will crawl through anything.
