Just make sure the chain is taught before the flag drops, than it's whoever gets the first tug without peeling out (between comparable trucks).

 

post the vid!!!! post the vid!!!!! can't wait to see it!!!

 

DO it do it do it..............
Chrysler and Chevy are both hurting and need more money...

 

Ya try to get the first jump on him cuz assuming he has the auto, he can get alot of tire speed pretty quick

 

Holding the brakes while the other truck trys to pull you don't always work so good. If he has good traction, he will drag you with all your tires sliding backwards. So don't count on that working.
If he has the stock bicycle tires, then you should win. (I said, should! But there is no gaurantee of anything here!)
One of you may break something, you may just spin, or one of you may pull the other. The one with the most power has no advantage. It will come down to traction. To help in that department, you could air down some, but then you up the chances of breaking things.

 

maybe you can get some pointers from this

I've seen so many of these pull-off posts. I have yet to see the follow up video. I've never done this, and never will, but these are the things that make sense to me.

1. Find a drop hitch, turn it upside down with a ball on it. Hook to that. Dodge 4X4's generally sit higher than the general's. So your hitch point will be higher, especially with the drop turned over. He will pull you down (helping your traction), and you will pull him up (hurting his traction).

2. Do it on dirt. Dirt greatly reduces breaking something and makes it more traction dependent.

3. Lower your air pressures, by how much I'm not sure.

4. Add weight, the sand under the quad seats seems very stealthy and a good idea to me. This will increase your traction.

The reason SRW wins over DRW is TRACTION. It's a simple formula. P = F/A

The more P you have (pressure down on the tires) the better the traction. Force is equal to the weight down on the tires. A = area, and that is the key. To get maximum P, you have to reduce the Area. Area being how much contact patch is touching the ground. SRW have better traction because there is more pressure on the tires ... meaning they are biting into the ground better.

Hopefully you are running a good M/S tire. My Bridgestone Duellers look like they would be good for traction ... the look much better than the previous Michelins.

DRW's are for stability, and safety (in case a tire blows). They are not for traction. The proof? Which one does better in the snow? ----> The one with more traction ... which is always the SRW, versus another truck with everything else being the same except DRW vs. SRW.

sounds right ^, but on dry pavement i'd think a DRW would be better, because in the mud I know the skinnier tire does alot better than wide ones. But pavement you usually want wider tires for grip, but i'm not sure how dual tires affect that.

 

In actuality, the SRW will still have slightly better traction than the DRW, but the differences are not as much as in more slippery conditions.

Now if we're talking about enough power to spin the tires at extreme high speed / high hp, big ole fat tires would be in order.

 

Exactly why mine stays in the carport when it snows. Six tires are not always better.

 

I definitely want to see a video of that. I can't wait to see the gm's front tires flex in towards each other and then snap. The only heavily modified d-max I saw was hooked to a sled and didn't even get spooled up before he snapped both front CV joints. I can still hear the sound.

 

how bout this one
