Your hood looks popped.

Looks good though. Are those wheels Mambas?

 

[John3seventeen]

Good looking out the hood is popped - letting the engine compartment dry . The Wheels are Jeep Rubicon Moabs from a TJ. Stronger than Mambas.

That reminds me , I have a Mamba behind the couch I need to move and hide before the wife gets here.
Unless someone wants to buy it for a great price, brand new , never mounted

Not posting any pics, posted on Facebook for 5 minutes and then deleted the whole post:emotions34:
Good golly don't need the drama
What I pay for something compared to what someone else was quoted is two different things. I find deals, I jump on deals, if you want deals you have to be in the right place at the right time. Some are some aren't so done , be abck on in a few days. a large field is calling my name to mow it in 48 inch swaths:happy175::happy175:
If you want to see the rack, come see it ...........at my house :happy175::happy175::shrug::happy175:
Ok enough BSing
Have a great evening

No ....a wheel
Moab knockoff

Stopped at Home Depot and picked up a few tools with a gift card...and found out the gift card was for more $$ than I thought.

Got an air hammer/chisel with attachments and can't wait to play with it

 

[sota]

so wait, the mamba moab knockoffs are weaker than "real" moabs?

That's what I've been told. Something to do with type
Of aluminum and manufacturing process. Tom or Troy could probably give you the exact details.

Drove to Butler, PA....

All ''factory copies'' are made of a cheaper aluminum than the actual OEM. You can get just about any domestic factory copy out there from aftermarket manufacturers that offer them at half the price. When I worked for Bridgestone we sold aftermarket wheels including factory repro's of modern and vintage cars that were half the price of what it would cost from the dealership. For instance you could get a Camaro 20' inch factory wheel for 125 bucks opposed to the 300+ from the dealership. Cheaper price doesn't equate to same quality.

Made an appointment for next Sunday to get oil change, tires rotated and balanced, front brakes and rear diff fluid changed.

I guess the real question is, how bad are they? Are they good enough for street duties? will they fall apart on trails? I'm thinking of getting dedicated snows this year (more $$$ on tires! it's been a rough year for rubbers) and have been considering getting a set of mamba's since "real" moab's are rarer than demure photos of kim kardashian.

 

[Birdman330]

I never trust aftermarket repros as far as I can throw them.

 

[dude1116]

Mambas are cast...MOABs are forged.

I asked because I thought MOABs have Jeep center caps!
