Yes, to both. They're expensive, but I get 50k out of a set, compared to 35k. And the traction in snow or sand is 2nd to none. This will be the 3rd set of bfg's my truck has seen plus the factory set, plus 2 other sets while I was still trying to convince myself that the bfg's were too expensive

my buddy runs bfgs on all his trucks and suv he gets between 50 and 80 out of them last set took off his old truck was about 10 years old and the tire started seperating he had 60 on them another guy had a set on a ford ranger and got 90 out of them so they are well worth the expense

We like BFG's over here to Kevin ...I used them on a landrover 90 hard top permanent 4wd.....for all round on and off road work they are real nice .

I need a little advise from you smart fellers. I just got my poles and roof up for my shop. Next up will be some ditch work for drains etc.

My quession. Would I be better off running conduit under the slab to the far walls to pull my electric lines? Or just run it up and over the trusses? Im just wonderin if there is an advantage either way?

 

[dall]

john i think it would be easier to pull and less of a run if you do the conduit under the slab if you are talking about your entrance wire the heavy wire is stiff and dont like to bend easy

 

[Redfin]

I ran an 400A to the shop Dallas. 200A to the house and a 200A panel for the shop. The conduits would be whats leaving the panel in the shop.

They must of changed the tread up a bit on those all terrains. Mine on my dmax aren't like that. Good traction but hate how they hold rocks.

I like the looks of those more than mine

I'd run under the slab. 400 amp panel will need 500 mcm wire if I'm not mistaken

Yup, under the slab is what I'd do.

When I finally get to putting a pole barn up I think I'll be running everything under the slab. I'd stick conduit and air line's up from the slab. It's a much cleaner look IMHO

Till a air line blows under there

Yes. Run them under John. For things like airlines or waterlines I run irrigation pipe, then pull pex thru after.
I probably run parallel 3/0 copper feeders instead of the 500 MCM. Easier to work with.

Very true.

 

[T.Roller]

I'm used to 2000 amp panels with 4 500 mcm paralleled in a three phase panel, which makes 12 500's in all. The trick to bending it is leverage. Had to use a 2x4, a sledge hammer, and zip ties to get the dead front on.

What psi is pex rated?

You're questioning where to run your individual outlet and switch wiring? Or whether or not to run your service to the barn or to the house under your slab? NEC requires 4/0 wire for 200 amp service I believe.

They changed the pattern atleast 2 years ago. My old ones were 2 years old and had this pattern. They still had 60% tread, but my son needs tires too. I plow, he doesnt. New ones for me and sell him my old ones. These are a bit more aggressive and have some more sidewall tread than the old pattern
