    Glad to hear! And Stompers are so cool. I still have a bunch of them. They were before my time, so I was able to get a lot of them cheap, second hand at garage sales and flea markets.

    Anyway, for tires, I posted a link earlier in the thread about Carlisle AT101's. They swim fast and are decent in the mud. These tires are the ones that Recreatives uses on the Max AATV today. If you order them by November 30th, they give you free shipping too. So for about $400 in tires and the $200 something you have into the rest of the project, you're going to have a really great machine for about $600.......very cool!

      Unless you want to drop $600 on tires alone, just be patient and keep an eye out for a good used set on here or craigslist. sometimes the best deal is buying a beat machine that someone had good tires on.
      l like to buy stuff and no I don't do payments!

        Take a look at the link I posted where you can get a full set of 6 Carlisle AT101 tires for about $400 shipped. These are exactly like the 21x11x8 Goodyear Rawhides and they're the tires Recreatives uses now on the Maxes. Can't beat the price.

              You never should run tubes on low pressure ATV tires. They'll just rip the valve stem right off the tube and you'll be out of luck.

                          now that i know she runs i have ordered tires thanks for the advice. I need to make some adjustments can somebody please tell me how tight my chains need to be and the proper procedure and also off each side of the GT-2 transmission there is some kind of gear box. Is there any kind of checking to that. Pretty new to the 6x6 and am having fun learning and i dont want to drive this until everything has been checked but any information on maintanece or any tricks would be great. I am having problems finding any information with maintanence with this transmission.

                          I would like to thank everybody for the information so far

                            Scott, you need a bigger machine cause it looks like the dog wanted to ride also.
                            The proper way to tighten the chains is with the tires off the ground. As far as how tight, that's a hard one to describe. Basically, you don't want them sloppy loose, but almost as bad is super tight. Just take up the slop, but make sure they will still move a little with finger pressure.

                                pin1.jpgpin.jpgYou guys have been great and i have learned alot on this site. I have had my lil truck out a few times now and went to tighten the chains, i noticed when i had it in the air my left side middle tire would rotate quite a bit before the sprocket would turn. I did some checking and took off the chains, after an hour of working i got the shear pin out, it was broke in 4 pieces. the pin is 3/8 and about 2.5 inches long. I know i can go to a parts store and get this but they make different hardness. what is the proper pin to replace this with. Thank you
