Uh pardon me, those are my NUGGIE CUBES.
Love the way your truck evolves!
You should consider turning some of the cubbys into fridge/freezers.
I was gonna say, the dudes down at the national mud run championship or whatever it's called down in Naples, FL run tall skinny tires. Narrower, to a point, is better in snow also. I usually run 70-series since I need a good all-around tire.I didn't think you wereIt's all good.
Mud is a specific use where tall and skinny are sometimes preferred. The goal is to get through the mud (not float) to the harder bottom to gain grip. Super Swamper and other manufacturers make a variety of tall skinnies just for that purpose.
Hard-packed and icy snow (not soft and slushy) is another example. The narrower contact patch increases tire contact pressure which achieves better grip for such conditions.
Some people with lighter offroad vehicles who prefer rock crawling and hard pack swear by tall skinnies. The smaller contact patch again provides for much more pressure per square inch of tread to provide better overall grip. Plus, the skinnies track better and tend not to follow ruts.
I've read many stories of people with jeeps reporting that they get stuck more with wide tires than narrow tires. They say the wide tires slip more because the load is so spread out and does not provide enough pressure for grip. What's interesting is that many overlanders who travel worldwide tend to prefer tall skinnies.
They definitely have their purpose and will always perform better on road. This is why many manufacturers make them. However, I think for the greatest diversity of offroad conditions, tall and wide is preferred.
Yeah I see that you have a rwd ranger so basically you are just getting them for showYour first mistake was assuming the nature of my build. Once you made that error then your entire argument becomes flawed down the chain.
I figured existing cooler setups would be too big to fit in there.Already ahead of you, but too small for fridges. However I do have some other ideas on the build table involving pull out trays. Problem is the camlocks won't work without the vertical dividers in place because that is where the locking bar notches are. Can't run vertical trays due to the gas struts on the side walls. I just have to figure something out.
I may have to design a custom insert to replace the 4 wall divider system, but I've got so many other projects with the truck going on it is a pipe dream at the moment as that is more of a QoL upgrade.
