The ATX looks like a mudder, correct? If so, I guess I'm a little suprised you got stuck to begin with. You could disconnect your rear sway bar for more flex, but I leave mine attached because I don't want to have to reconnect it, or a dangerous street ride. Maybe you could try your best to avoid axle - twisting ruts (or creep onto them slowly, backing off if a wheel starts to get a little "light") so you don't launch a tire. Best I can think of , anyway. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> I still think you'd be better off if you got yourself some more recovery gear - and don't forget the shovel!

33X13.50 LTB TSL's are like $125 each
31X10.50 TSL's are like $99 each.

Not that bad.

Want to trade me some Simexs??? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Well, yes.. Everybody who saw the pictures was surprised. I was even reprehended! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> It looks easier than it really was...

I don't have rear sway bars, I have rear spring leafs. That's how the GenII came to Latam after 96.

Do you guys know how much is a set of Firestone Destination 32" over ther in USA?

Such is the highly deceptive nature of mud! We've all been victimised.
Once, I sunk the driver side of my Monty into some green, brown, smelly gunk. The rear passenger tire was still on relatively firm ground, but the locker nevertheless couldn't pull me out. That was when I was still running worn, small, generally lame street tires. I tend to think I would have gotten through if I'd been turning the Scorps.

Whatchu talkin bout willis?

Well I can't see your tires real well but they really look like all terrains. Plus the fact that they looked totally clogged over in the pics. Mud terrains shouldn't be that bad.

As far as other tires...

Swampers: Cheapest, best offroad, wear out quickly
BFGs: A little more money, good offroad, good wear
MT/Rs: Expensive, not great for mud, last the longest

And you're probably the only person that I've ever heard say that bigger tires don't look cooler <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />Yeah, I think a nice set of Centipedes would have dominated the situation!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />

That's what I thought at first. I think he's running these, though: ImageMotel.com - Free Image Hosting
If I'm wrong, M, correct me.

Yep, that's what I have. Not the best tyre in the world, but it's a bang for the buck.

Interesting thought about tyres, I always thought swampers were terribly expensive and MT/Rs easily wore out. As soon as my pocket allows it, I'll change these bicycle tyres for something decent.

Not that I'm against big tyres. I just like the looks of the Monty with proportional sizes. Those wide 35" seem horrendous to me. It's just a matter of personal preference. I like the 4x4 to look slim, stylish, but that's me.

You might be suprised how good the Swamper TSLs are if you decide to go that route. A friend had a set on his Wrangler (rear locker, like mine) that were about 70% worn, yet shamed my new Scorpions on the trail. He could dump the throttle (4.0 inline six) on a muddy, rutted hill and not even spin a tire.

there is another option.
you can get a hand brake setup from the local junkyard. Mount it to the left of your drivers seat so you have one on the left and one on the right. now route the cable back to the "Y" on the emergency brake cable. cut the cable and hook the left rear wheel to the left emergency brake handle and hook the right rear brake to the oem emergency brake cable.

Now when you get 'stuck' with one wheel spinning uselessly and the other doing nothing, pull up on the brake to the spinning wheel. You will be surprised how well your 'manual' limited slip setup will get some torque to the wheel with some traction.

I used this setup on an open diff'd Trooper when I opened the Golden Spike trail in moab lots of dropped jaws when I walked the stairstep etc.

Not a locker for sure BUT, once you learn how to drive with one hand on the wheel and the other diving to the appropriate brake lever when required, you can rock and roll pretty well total cost for me was about $15.00 US.
