Totally. Ever seen that video of those arabs changing all flying wheels while 2 wheeling? Hands down the most hilarious automotive footage out there.

@@Flyingdutchy33 nascar should do that

@@jibcano1777 No.

@@jibcano1777 now im imagining lemans prototype racers on two wheels

Replacing the wheels with wider offset wheels with wider tyres as well makes an enormous differnce as well. All my vehicles have been high center of gravity because of where I live. They are a must. I have never lost control of one.

Indrid Cold - so for example , I have a 2016 Ram 1500, with a 4 inch lift . So going wider, like a 12 side tire for example ( I have a 33 inch 10 wide ) that would be better grip wise ? Or control wise

@@tudobem321 Yes. It would make a difference indeed. But do not stop at just a wider tyre. Get rims with a wider offset as well. You will not believe the difference. I have a vintage Jeep I lifted 4.5 inches and put 33x10.5R15 inch tyres on it. It seemed very topsy-turvy. I would take off on a turn quickly to lift a front wheel on purpose to scare people. But the rocking around and swaying started annoying me. I got rims with two and a half inches of offset and used 33x12.5R15 tyres that were not as good as the 33x10.5R15 to see what would happen. With older tyres and a worse kind of tyre, the Jeep ran super smooth, never lifted a wheel, and cornered way better. The swaying and rocking was almost entirely gone. I liked it so much that I gave the used tyres to someone else with a Jeep and rushed out to buy a good brand set of 33x12.5R15 tyres. Definitly buy wider tyres and rims with a deeper dish. You will not believe the differnce. I miss scaring the people in the neighbourhood by lifting a wheel intensionally. But it is far worth it. It will give better grip and control, by far.

Indrid Cold dude you , along with my boss have pretty much just answered pretty much the biggest question to my truck life haha . Shoot you need to be my adviser at this rate before I pick a new rim and tire set 😂😂hahahaha but thanks man that helps. Cause it definitely sways to easy. Topsy turvy and all that. You just wrote my entire mental complaint . I’m Gonna do this eventually when I can . Never thought a deeper dish would help but I’ll consider it

@@tudobem321 If not ready to buy the rims because of the price, get hub centric wheel spacers. They haved a lip that locks to the hub and to the wheel. This keeps it from having any off center motion and breaking lug nuts. The rims you have now will be spaced out two and a half inches, or whatever spacer thickness you choose. Amazon sales them very affordably. They will make your pickup truck handle as if you got the wider offset (deeper dish) rims without the expense you may not be ready to put out. With the spacers, you can also put the wider tyres on the rims without rubbing at full turn. Offset rims are the best option by far. But rims are expensive. Get the spacers, for now, and you will not believe the difference, even with your current tyres. Later get BF Goodrich All Terrain or BF Goodrich Mud Terrain Tyres. They have very strong sidewalls. As for the rim diameter, that would be your preference. But the bigger the rim, the heavier it will be and the less tyre you will have. This will make for a rougher ride. The ridiculous 22 inch rims with a one inch tyre will make for a very, very, rough ride, with possible damage to the rim on very slight bumbs with great ease. The small rim with enormous tyres will give a better ride with more traction but the sidewall flex will give bad cornering, the topsy-turvy feel all over again, and can be dangerous if you blow out a tyre and the tall tyre suddenlu does not support that end of the vehicle. Something in between the dubs with a one inch tyre and the tiny rim with huge tyres is what you need.

Still having one of these tires as a spare tire in our 2001 Ford Explorer

Wow yup that's amazing

Hazgebu My 2000 Ford Explorer has Firestone tires. They were great. :)

Hazgebu I think it was more like 25 years ago. The 1st gen Explorer was the one with higher rollover risks.

Now Ford’s seatbelts start fires. So there is that. Leave it to an engineer to figure out how to start fires with a seatbelt.

Bring chrisfix too.

Ya, ISIS cornered the market on the hilux

@@450ktm520 As soon as they're gone, I'm going to Iraq to pick one of their technicals up for cheap!

There's a lot in Australia and would imagine South Africa too. Just in Aus they really hold their value

they are all over the place in new zealand too

I'm not convinced that thats a diesel. I think it's a 4 door Tacoma with a bed bar that say HILUX

Surprisingly, I've found higher profile tires to be much more forgiving (I haven't popped a bead or burped yet). But that's my experience. Rally crossing a Cherokee for me is like they've covered here, 90% is about setup into the corner. You can really make it look graceful and slow but be traveling really fast through corners for having such a high COG. It's not stage car fast but impressive given the weight you're sliding around (really scares spectators sometimes lol). You can really feel the weight shift around and I feel it's made me a better driver on pavement because the weight transfer skills really transfer well.

I don't do fast driving in my jeep, just slow crawling. But I hit a turn at about 35 mph and my enormous mud tire started barking. Scared me to death and I felt it want to roll

@@General_Eisenhower1945it is a completely different setup than anything intended to rally, big high flotation mud tires will certainly add to your rollover potential and they're far more dynamic than a lower profile tire.

I was in Colorado in my grandfathers (very wide) bronco when I was like 11 and he had a massive 100+ acre field in front of his cabin. He wanted to mess around a bit so we went out into the field to just shred about, all the grass was super low but we slid it at about 50 and there was a hole and when the tire fell in and hit the side of the hole it ringed the whole tire and debeaded it like a machine, it was scary feeling the car drop but it dug in so fast and stopped us that it wasn’t really an issue. I believe after that happened all he did was a wheel replacement because it was totally fucked because everything else was perfectly fine, the tire and the rim took everything. Edit: I wish I remembered more about the bronco, it got totaled a few years ago by a drunk driver. I do remember it wasn’t registered and probably wasn’t street legal.

can relate...I rallycross mine and its not very easy but its fun

As someone with a JL Jeep wrangler, I agree. I haven't gotten it onto two wheels yet, but I've cornered at speeds I didn't think the car could ever come close to, and I've slid it around quite a bit too. Just don't be overconfident,

So so relevant to daily driving right?

@@Teamoneilrally yeah, I mean it's easier to fit into tight spaces that way :)

@@piciu256 Narrow alleyways and such, yup we'll use that haha

The Navistar International MaxxPro is quite prone to rollovers compared to something like the Oshkosh M-ATV. Speaking of which, I actually have a bit of high-speed experience on the Oshkosh M-ATV. It's a fun class I MRAP but suffers from bad visibility and low space for both occupants and cargo.

AWDfreak It was my first time driving a maxxpro the mat-v’s were fun to drive, though.

Thanks for watching!

They do have a vic. That would be a great video

Would love to intoduce others to the wonderful world of Vics.

@@towcat never driven one myself, but i bet they are fun to mess around with.

don't let media or games fool you about their speed. They are by no means fast (by sports car standards), but they are swift and they accelerate very easily if you're just cruising. When thrashing, though, the Modular just falls flat on it's face at high revs. I'm sure with less weight, this could be a fantastic base engine (and it sounds *amazing*), though. But I've met so many people who just cannot fathom how someone can manage such weight in a boaty car like that when driving fast and around corners. I cannot explain it well, hopefully these guys can.

You're punching the throttle into your corners!?

@@cgunugc nope. Most roll over occur around the Apex anyway

Solid point, but you sound like you've got a lot of experience... When a newer driver smashes the throttle in 2WD, it can get really ugly really fast haha. For an advanced driver, 2wd and sliding you'll definitely stay planted better than 4WD and leaning, good call.

domosRAGE so much fun thought

Matt Drees if you like breaking things, then sure it's fun

@@domosrage5434 You have to be smart about it, know your cars limit. I love to rip down gravel/sand back roads. My car can handle it fine, the danger comes from driver error.

Driving fast on anything but a road is not advisable even on a vehicle built for speed and cornering. But a 4x4 is the worse for driving fast and making quick cornering. All I have ever had are true 4x4 vehicles and love playing with them at higher speeds when I am alone and lifting a wheel. I would never drive that way with a passenger, though.

Send it!

You weren't drifting your truck already?

Go into a turn in four wheel drive mode. In the middle of the turn disengage the four wheel drive and go into two wheel drive. This will make for a fun ride. Make sure there are no obsicles near by, holes, or bumps. If you have a passenger, put down plastic bags on your seat and have an air sickness bag.

Yea don't let her buy automatics then.

Good video as well, I should mention. I feel like the dingbats in their bro'd out Wranglers should see this video before weaving between lanes at 90.

18,000 pounds!? Holy hell. Your average 3/4 ton pickup weighs around 7200 pounds. That dually at team O'Neill is probably around 8000 or so. What kind of truck do you have?

@@ianholmquist8492 Well the tandem axle dump truck I drive is about 26,000 lbs, so it's not that big. Maybe a single axle box truck?

ALPHAFERT _ What year range is that?

Just looked, the tires are labeled 31x10.5 r15 so the closest equivalent would be 265/75 r15. These are the Yokohama Geolandar i/T

Thanks for the answer her from Denmark
