Off Roading Dually Off-roading

[BruteForce]

It was pretty cold out 2 weeks ago, so instead of my usual ATV adventure, I tried taking the Dually out onto the ATV trails. For a 9000 pound truck, it can wheel pretty well.



Parked the truck in an open field and bush-wacked up to the top of a mountain just in time to see the 19th Special Forces jump out of C17's.

What wheels are those? I like them. Do you know the weight rating of the wheels?

American Eagle, rated at 3000 pounds each. I put the wheels on about a month ago.

I've done it more than I should, but it is a bit awkward.

BUMP! I'm taking the Dually to Moab this coming weekend. I'm curious to see how I do in that terrain with the BFG MT KM2 tires. .

Corona Arch (the arch where the video was made) was indeed one of our stops.

After a great and warm weekend, this is how I had to drive home:

Just like a Dodge to tow a Jeep to the trail, and then take over trail duties:

Getting rocks stuck between the tires sucks big time. At first, I used to jack up the axle and lossen the lugs to dislodge the mini boulder. Now I wrap a chain around the rock, attach it to the frame and slowly back up. Ya, I'll damage the body one day but I ain't taking no more stupid tires off.

I've been there. The last time this happened to me, the rock was like 8 inches in diameter; it was wedged so tight that I couldn't get the lugs off, so instead I went to work with a hammer (for about an hour) and broke it apart piece by piece.

Awsome pictures. Nothing better than the ***** end of a dually.

You need an onboard air compressor. Drop the tires down to pull the rock out and then fill the tires back up again.

Your blog is pretty cool. I spend days in there reading and watching your videos.
