how does it pull?????? ive seen 6bt's try and wheel and they dig pretty easy....
well heres a shot from sunday. a tj on 33" superswampers gets stuck in the mud, a full size bronco on 32" gets stuck and doesnt budge it. i get called to go pull it, see how i do..... if you have a fast net connection the large one is worth it. http://homepage.mac.com/ltalessi/FileSharing73.html now tell me how a 4bt isnt enough with 105hp and 286tq .......................... |

Way cool!
 I still would love a setup like yours for hunting! Dually wheels don't make it down some of the logging roads I travel with my Dad each fall... Did you put the 4BT in, or did that old battle wagon come that way?

I was considering a 4BT conversion for my land rover and I was told that they have vibration problems and I'd be better off with a benz diesel. Enlighten me. I'm open for suggestions.
