Axle and tire upgrade (on my beer cooler)

[TerryMason]

I got tired of dragging my cooler through the sand like a brick, so I did a quick axle swap, and mounted some big offroad tires on it. I think the results were pretty slick.

Are you going to install some fender flares now? I have some experience with that...

 

[TerryMason]

Not sure about the flares, but I may need some spacers in the front, as the nose sits alittle low.

Very nice, I'll be looking for the write up in the how to section.:lol:

Do you get any tire rubbing when you flex the suspension on the sand dunes?

 

[BaconYJ]

Did you have to change the gearing to compensate for the larger tire and greater mass? What is its gas milage like now?

 

[Utah_jeepster]

very nice...what kind of under-carriage clearance you getting with those new shoes?

 

[redrooster]

Truly awesome. I will be doing the same before my next beach trip. As a dad, I seem to be the pack mule for lugging junk down to the beach.

I can't quite tell from the "after" picture... are those beadlock wheels? :shades:

 

[larrymo49]

Are those locking hubs?

How's the bite in the sand?
