Building a Mudder Step 2.5 / 5

[MudBug]

Step 1 = Raise the rear. Been done for over a year now :rolleyes:

Step 2 = Bigger Rear tires. Got 12'' inch rims and waiting on money for some big mud tires, Possibly 28's. Any suggestions?

Step 3 = Raise the Front. Finally got around to that today.

Step 4 = Bigger front tire. Working on it, am I going to need a spacer for sure? I'm running stock now.

Step 5 = Rebuild clutch. With big tires on and in the heavy mud, my clutch problems are only going to amplify, so I'll get right on that.

What do you guys think so far? Doubt i'll be as good as Skiffy or Mondexbrute (great job guys btw) but as long as the bike is as good in the mud as I need it, its fine with me.

Looks good man, keep it going.

Lookin good, i like what you did with the front!..... Now get a snorkel and some mud lites and bring it out to my swamp!!

[MudBug]

A snorkel is hidden in one of the other steps :naughty: Thanks guys

[juggaloclownz18]

Damn you i miss my big red, and its all your fault now.... Those were my plans to take over the world.... hahhaha j/k but it looks good so far, keep up the good work!!

[Mondexbrute]

Sweet, I love it! Keep up the good work man! I would suggest 28" Mudlights all the way around they are way lighter than Outlaws or Silverbacks...but mine turns the 28" Silverbacks no problem. As for the clutch go with a Barnett Dirt Digger with heavy duty springs, mine is over 2 yrs old & works great! Also can u post up a close up pic of the rear lift?

Hey there is one like this in this month's dirtwheels, with 26" tires. Pretty sweet looking, but unlike him, you've kept the rear fenders.

[Thorpe]

That was Mondex's BR is dirtwheels... Look up one post!

[Woodsrider]

That looks great...can't wait for an action video !

Thanks a lot! I was wondering about mud lites. So it wont have a problem turning them? My lift is the same as yours in the rear,except UGLY. I want to fix it up someday.

[Mondexbrute]

you will be able to spin the trailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro outta mudlights!

[MudBug]

Thanks Mondexbrute ! thats good to hear. I start work the end of this summer so keep looking for updates then!

[TheRealFatShady]

How much did you lift the front and rear? Also, how far up do the fork tubes go?

[MudBug]

well, I welded another set of BR250 fork clamps flush with the original ones, so they are around 2'' higher now. They can slide up into the old ones if need be. The rear was lifted the same way as MondexBrute's , around 2'' as well.

I used to swear by Mud Lites but have switched to Swamp Lites now. They seem to work better in the moose pasture (Muskeg) and mud. IMO of course

Only Mud lites that will out do the swamp lite is the Mudlite XXL they have some crazy 1.3" lugs

[MudBug]

Im putting XL mudlites on new 12'' ITP ss rims. Should look real nice.

[Mondexbrute]

its been awhile Mudbug! You ever get it done>?
