Building **** to build ****. Making a fixture to build those hook sheaves I've posted to be welded on a robotic welder. Not finished yet and it will be cut into two pieces to be used for both sizes we will make.

Welded on one side then flipped over to weld the other side then the hook will be placed in it on the manual side of welding.

I think the front one on mine is the one I broke. I thought they were both valves.

Na. Front is just an open elbow.

BFG KO2 show Jeep

 

[matth_85]

Wonder how they are holding up? Did you get to talk to them?

This was at the pump beside me today. It used to be a C6 Z06. Now it's an ideal LS7 donor.

Ah ha....the elusive Humma Jeep. Not be be confused with that Escalade Jeep, or that Toyota Jeep. Jeep in Ebonics = SUV... FYI.

The Jeep was parked at Michelin headquarters. I'm up here for training. I had a chance to talk to one of the folks that makes them. The initial reports are very good. They can't build them fast enough to fill orders.

Did the KO2 replace the KO completely like how the km2 did?

Yeah I talked to Cole at Gray Rock about them. He was saying what I thought to be true...that most sizes are not truely "backordered" they just have not been produced at all yet. The tires really grew on me once I saw them in person. Still don't think i would run them on my tow rig but they look great on Jimbo's Jeep and would def. put a set on the TJ.

 

[Shilohsho]

Why not on the tow rig Matt?

 

[308turbo]

If I didn't have brand new ko s on the tow rig I would Def get ko2

 

[matth_85]

Don't think they are a "truck" tire. Or just more aggressive looking than the look I like on my truck. That could change though. But, at the rate things are going it will be 2-3 years before I have to worry about it. My KO's have 20K ish miles on them and are still half tread worst case. And I put about 5-6K a year on the truck.

 

[Steve97tj]

I need new tires soon and debating on the new KO's or the falkens. Priced comparable. And I like those falkens. Gotten 52k out of my duratracs but never been overly impressed with them.

A friend of mine sent me a pic of that yellow bummer yesterday too. Said it was his boss' or something. Its for sale Harva. That's all you.

 

[matth_85]

Harva's Hummer Jeep....

 

[GPWMike]

Yes. Right now they are in the phase out mode. The factory is still making some of both with a plan to go to all KO2. I'll see if he can give me a date for the complete change over.

 

[matth_85]

Can't wait till they go completely out so I can get my odd ball 295's for dirt cheap somewhere and stack them in a corner...
