heres the krawlers http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/bfgap...rawlertakx.jsp But 1 little thing... looks like these are going to cost about 100$ a tire more than the same size M/T! If it was my cash I would spend it on the M/T's

And someday when I figure out how to post pictures (ive tryed and failed) I will get my truck on the net!

If it were my cash I'd get Super Swamper Boggers...but that's just me...been the best mud/rock tire for years now and it's a fairly hard compound that works well in the street and doesn't wear as fast as other mud tires.

Or I'd get Mickey Thompson Baja Claws.

Have you ever heard a set of tsl boggers on the road tho? And boggers vs. stock dodge drivetrain's dont tend to mix well. The tires are way to heavy.

Yea they are kinda loud. Hard to hear over a 340 making 600+ HP in an 89 Dodge Powerwagon with an 8" lift though. But apperently Gilligan doesn't have one of those.

They are heavy tires, but you gotta remember just how much rubber is on one of those Boggers....I don't think he'd have a problem turning a set of 33-35" Boggers it's a Ram 1500 with the Magnum engine package right? I guess if your concerned about noise but still want some meat to the tire for playin in the mud, you could always get the Super Swamper SSR. That's a lot quieter than the Boggers....WAY cheaper too, and it's another one of the better mud tires. I know this post was supposed to be about BFG tires but you can never go wrong with TSL. As for me and the Jeep CJ-2A that's been sitting in the barn since last year...it's getting a set of Krawlers, because they look like they'd be awesome on rocks...now, if only they were cheaper

its not turning them thats a problem, its the added stress on the diffs. How about a 69 chevy half ton, 1k hp, under 3000 lbs, running boggers shaved into paddles? -30 lbs PER TIRE.

hahaha. Who's got that? That thing sounds like a blast.


My dad's got a stock Ford Explorer, it's got 31" BFG AT's for winter but in the summer it gets boggers...33", and he's had no problem for 2 years now.

What diffs are in the Ram? They gotta be Borg's or Dana's right? They would be fine with Boggers.

I don't think I've ever seen a stock Ram with Boggers, I've seen tons of them with lifts and boggers but they likely had some diff work done or completely replaced them.


Does your buddy live in the GTA or BC? I remember a pro mud chev at Truck Fest a few years ago in Cedar Springs.....was a 4 wheel drive, headers were out the hood and all four tires were paddles
