Tire tubes

[philjbergman]

I've got some dry rotten 36 swampers that I need to sell or run tubes. Anyone running tubes? issues? where can I get some at? ~Phil

I ran one and got it from Gateway Tire Company on the corner of 747 and Cresentville Rd in Springdale.

[philjbergman]

did you have any trouble with the tube valve stem slipping out of the whole?

I'm running one in my 39.5 Irok , I did have some trouble with the valve stem at first , then I found out I had the tube in backwards ...... You can get them as stated about at Gateway or Dempster tire in Middletown ( they will have to order it ) .

I know a few people that run them.
They bought them from tractor supply.
They seem to work fine.

i run them in every thing............if u cut a side wall u can still wheel


put a small hose clamp on the valve stem for ins., and this also helps airing up................ but if you put the tube in right they dont move lol

I ran one once in a 33. Blew out the first time I went down the road. Could have been an installation problem but a tire shop put it in.

Phil I've always ran tubed tires and get them from Affordable Tire here in Greenville if he don't have it in stock and you order by about 10:00am he will have them that day by 2:30 usually. Also have you been back down to harlan again lately? I don't even have the gade anymore traded it off for a rhino:sweatin:

One of our distributers had tubes, tried them yesterday and seem to work fine. Yea, I've been to Harlan a few times since you came. More geared towards trucks now though, seems like you are too. I'm going to Wellsville this saturday and we're going down to harlan for southen shine weekend next month. Should have traded the renegade for a RZR! We would have given you a good deal! Let me know when you want this Robby Gordan RZR 4 in our showroom, we'll trade that rhino in on it. :thumbup:

Gateway carries a bolt in style (Hi Pressure Valve) that are much stronger also. The rubber is thicker and the valve is 1000 times stronger. I have been buying them for years. Just let them know what it's for and they'll hook you up. Expect $20-$25 for the better tubes.

I ended up just swapping the loan collateral over to the rhino and keeping the loan unchanged, I would like something with more power, but this will be paid for come February and in the next 2 months will putting an exo on it as well as a cage in the rear. I like the RZR4, only seen one on the trails once and seemed like the wheelbase was way too long for the limited ground clearance that they have for trails around here might be nice in the dunes though. Sounds like your sami has made a lot of progress since the last time I seen it. I am picking up my tracker tomorrow and taking it on a shakedown trip to haspin this weekend to try out the massive amount of upgrades that have been done to it since late last year. Was going to go to Spring Shine, however it didn't work out, but am going to Crawl 4 Christ in June at harlan and Fall Crawl for sure

[philjbergman]

Yea, I know what ya mean. You have any pics of your tracker? Sounds like your a few upgrades ahead of me. Heres a pic of my sami, just had a shakedown run at my buddies house. Tires rub too much on the front, I'm going to put CJ springs on the front. Having some trouble with my power steering too... can't quite put my finger on it. We will have to wheel togeather again sometime.

With the 3" TG front springs can't seem to get them to flex much, but otherwide kept killing stock and OME springs atleast these hold up. Finally got it wheelable and is bound to hit the trail next weekend.
