Theyre old school mud terrains. Theyre a really long-lasting compound but dont air down well at all, too stiff. They were really popular before the Boggers came out. They still make them though. I have a picture of a first gen yota on 40" gumbos.

Gumbo monster mudders were the shizzy way before swampers were even around and Ground hawgs too :) Real meatty tires that rode like you were in a tank even when aired down to 2-4 pounds :sad:

gumbo mudder = buckshot mudder. i don't think they make them any more, denman and gateway were the producers :(

when i bought my '79 toy, it had a set of ancient buckshots on it. they're like a more agressive BFG but louder than a TSL and mine were so hard that i once crashed into a sidewalk making a turn in the rain at 10mph(absolutely zero wet traction)

I wheeled the Hawgs, man if you had the power to get those things going in the mud, they would dig to china. Those tires are what I had on my first rig, oh the memories. Thats when a 36" tire on the street was huge, ya they had 44's but nobody could afford them were I was from.

Do you still have it? is all cracked out? I got my a redneck project in mind. :redneck:

do you know what size rim it is for? i am guessing 15 but if i could find out for sure that would help.

15'' or 16.5'' rim size is all they made. I had 3 of these (44x18.5x16.5)setting around for two years and never could find a fourth 44'' tire. Ended up trading them for a rebuilt th400. They measured short, about 41-42'', but the tread was down some. A guy here in town ran some of these in the 40'' size, not a great tire by todays standard but ok for the mud.

Don't know about the Dana 44s, but the rest of that sounds like a brown CJ-5 I saw parked at Olympic 4x4, or maybe it was still Mr Jeeps, back in the late 80s.
