My Raider has primarily been a work vehicle, driving me around the Sacramento - Placerville - Tahoe corridor in northern California. I have been some interesting places with her:
just a driveway shot. It has a 2.5 inch ironman lift, 33x10.50s, manual hubs, and a e-bay "safari snorkel." I've owned it about 2 years and it has almost 170,000 on it.
I have been really happy with the ironman suspension. Has been on almost 2 years and has performed flawlessly. Its stiffer than stock but much more controlled.
No but a friend has a 98 with valley springs cranked stock t-bars and kybs and i think the ironman feels more balanced. Also, the ironman seems to carry weight better. We are a family of 5 and we can load up the back for a weekend and it stays pretty level.
Excellent tires for the price. The directional tread on them really dig and shovel the dirt/mud/anything else on the road away from the tire real well. The ride on them are as smooth as regular street tires, and I didn't notice much road noise at all. I highly recommend them if your looking for M/T's on a budget.
I picked those up off of www.tirerack.com If you scroll through, typically they have tires that are a little cheaper than the rest of the same model because they've been sitting on the shelf a little longer. Didn't notice a single thing wrong.
Looks nice. I really need to install some torsion bars. I have OME heavy springs on the rear, need to get the front torsion bars and shocks all around.
I actually cut it out and made it out of PVC pipe myself. It was functional and watertight! I ran the hose to an inline airbox then to the the top of the carb. Granted, water would've still leaked in anyways, and I think from the ground up to where the carb sat in the bay, I had a good 5' AT LEAST of fording depth. That truck was massive.
I'm going to whore myself out to being a name brand trendy with the Monty and I'm going all ARB all over it. I want to get a safari bumper for it and a 12,000lbs winch.
