You know I've thought that too, but it's cuz the tires are so big. lets say you take a 65" tall tire. It will make 310 revolutions per mile.
Now take a 33" tall tire and it's gonna turn over 614 times in 1 mile.
but I dont know how to calculate rpm and gears into the equation, but you can kinda get the idea.
Oh and climbing in, you just use the drivers front tire

Yeah he's on pirate, Those pics you posted are 73's and 2.5ton centers with (20ton)planitary outers.
Thats after he went the route of 5tons and the 63's I posted
But anyways, what do ya'll think of the 63's... thats gonna be borderline too much for 2.5tons, but I plan on haveing them built(oversion 2" shafts, stronger than stock 5tons)
heres some more 23.1x26 r2's
Just think there a good tire/truck combo

I know right, thats the rear though.
If I'm thinking right and I could be completely off but I think the whole he was in was too small. He never could get out of first.
His pockets are a whole lot deeper than mine though. I believe I won't ever go more than the 800hp range, and It will be a few years before I hit that and I wont be as light as him either, I guess everyone has to start somewhere.
