Probably wont see it here as it is NTSC not PAL format, but alot of lter players do both, like ine, but they dont bring the vid in becaus eof the format.

I think my DVD has that option. I will have a look.
If not, I'll get the DVD version & rip it on my PC.
22-05-2003, 09:41 AM
I need someone who can convert VHS/NTSC vides to DVD or mpeg.....

Have lots of vids and footage etc on VHS and NTSC...

We tried to convert Cape York tape a few weeks ago using firewire card, but audio came out crap.
I have a feeling the guy I asked may not have set it up right.
I am going to try to set this up for myself soon so I can have a go at it, but my main PC is down at the moment :(

Those Jeeps look cool.

Not sure.
Look like about 42".

18-08-2003, 09:33 AM
I'd guess the XJ is wearing 39.5"s....but the CJ & YJ pics are pretty old and both were reputed to be on 44"s...

that 49in swamper doesn't seem to have very big lugs for it's size... i was expecting something a little more chunkier.....proportion wise...

Do you think that they would fit on a Sierra? Or would they rub together? ;D

You also might have to drive around in low range for a while until you change your dif ratios & while you are at it you may as well change the whole dif assembly & steering for something that will handle the extra load of a 40+ inch tyre.

23-11-2003, 04:25 PM
might have to invest in some unimog diffs or something... ;D ;D ;D
24-11-2003, 03:07 PM
hrrmmmmmmmm maybe i could modify the Rodeo for tyres like that ??? *removes front guards and ute tray from the back* THERE!! fit perfectly!!

Only problem now is getting the damn vehicle to turn them!!! :-X
MUDRIG
24-11-2003, 08:09 PM
Well roedao you can all ways drop a mother of a big block chev v8 in!

it might envolve a bit more cutting to the front end but you might as well go hard or go home! ;)

Roothie would be proud!

The Rodeo would be a beast!
25-11-2003, 08:29 AM
HAHAHAHAHAHA i dragged he wife in and showed her your reply..... she wants you taken out and shot for putting an idea like that in my head! ;D but you are right .... would be an awesome thing!!!
MUDRIG
25-11-2003, 06:05 PM
Tell her there are plenty more wacked ideas where that one came from! :o Its all crazy and its all fun. :P

Come to think of it i would really like to see a rodeo on roids!
25-11-2003, 06:42 PM
I'd like to see it too!!! maybe when i win that 7 million jackpot lottery...... i might just do that ;D ;D ;D

02-12-2003, 08:46 PM

heard that they've finally released the 46in claws on the market....

BFG have their new prototype on the market in the states now too the Krawler..looks awesome..

i'll find a pic of it..
MUDRIG
03-12-2003, 07:38 PM
Yeah the krawlers by BFG look pretty tuff! I saw them at the Fourbie show in Melbourne and was pretty impressed. Would like to know availiable sizes and other specs like sidewall width?
DIRTY
05-12-2003, 04:58 PM
Would really like to know when the BFGs become available over here, could be just the tyre that im looking for.
cuttin loose
08-12-2003, 02:02 PM
sizes of the BFG Krawler are pretty limited at the moment... only because they're still in the test phase...

sizes are:

35 x 12.5 x 15
37 x 12.5? x 15
37 x 12.5? x 15 ( groovable to suit your personal needs.. kinda look like a tractor tyre.. pics soon... ;D ;D
cuttin loose
08-12-2003, 02:06 PM
35x13.50R15/C
37x12.50R17/C
37x12.50R17/C

actually... this is more accurate...

Any idea on side wall thickness? also how available are they at the moment. I know pro comp sell em. Any idea on price range also?

Thanks ;)

the site above gives you the cost in USD....

not sure about side walls... last i heard they were 6 ply..
MUDRIG
10-12-2003, 09:08 PM
mmmmm Six ply! :P

Would that be six thin ply's or six half decent plys. Some of the tyres these days boast that they have a certain number of plys but these are a pissy thickness that only add up to a mediochre side wall!

Well i suppose the only answer is to investigate some more. 8)

SWOIIT tyres those BFG Krawlers

In the 4WDM Gold label, 2003 4WD Accessory Directory,
the pic next to the BFG Krawler is of a "Michelin XZL" the specs underneath say: Size 53x16R20 :o :o
well if that aint big enuf 4 ye
looks like the sort of tyre you'd run on a 4wd fire truck

cheers

well i guess because this is BFG's attempt at breaking into the serious 4wd comp. market it should be a pretty good tyre..

there's a few of the main dude's in the state that use em for comps.. maybe Pat and the boys should get a set and do some testing on them... ;D ;D ;D
