Still waiting on my buddy to send it to me or put it on Facebook or something. I got a shitty pic of it ill put up in a SEC. Gotta put it on photobuckrt

Eta: just got back from trying to get the trailer. Got it to a high spot where it'll at least stay out the water. Gonna go back with a few bikes and get it when it clears up. A truck is worthless at this point

A few pics from various stages of this operation along with a good reason you should not buy BFG KM2's if you plan on actually using them

You don't need solid ground for what he's talking about. Think of it like driving pilings. You don't have to drive them to bedrock, you just have to drive them deep enough to provide sufficient frictional resistance.

A 4x4 driven 6 feet deep wasnt NEARLY deep enough. I thing the cable got about 2" off the ground before it popped out.

I also couldn't put it so deep that it couldn't be pulled out. We bushhog that power line.

They don't clean at all.

Only reason I got em is because I got a hell of a deal on em. It wouldn't have been nearly as bad if I had some tires.

Now once I got them spinning fast enough (read 30mph) they pulled good. I don't like having to put my shite to the wood just to get my tires to bite though.

Never tried it and don't know anyone who has.

They must not though because I've never heard of it getting tried.

Absolutely not. Snow chains just sink in and do nothing. It probably works just as good as trying to stick a log under a tire


I got the SSRs for magazine/online prices from Rayne. They installed them for free also. I went from the original BFG MT KMs to Swampers, and it was a night and day difference. Places where I used to have to be in 4wd, I just romped in in 2wd once I started getting stuck and they pulled through. The chunks of mud they throw are worth the price. I was grinning ear-2-ear every time they started flying. Even on my 32x11.50s, they were almost the size of a baseball



That pic I posted earlier in the thread was one of the only two times I got stuck with them. Other time was when I was drunk and tried to drive through a canal. Made it to the other side, but couldn't get up it

Boggers are going on this one next set. Think I'm going 35x10.50 if they make it.

shite, I made it to the other side(~20ft) by just churning and burning.


IMHO, the wider the better on mud tires. They have more flotation and wider = more mud moved
