Nice, I want to find a good spot to put the Zebra through some mud once I get it all fixed up. That looks fun. Do the 33's only rub on tight turns? And where at, I assume the radius arms?

I can't wait to get some new tires, either thinking BFG MTs or General Grabbers, (they sold me with the red lettering)

I don't drive the truck very much, it's basically a fun truck and/or when the weather is too bad to drive the Mustang, so mileage wear isnt too big an issue. Are you running stock rims?

BFG MTs lasted a really long time on my brother's old Cherokee, and he drove that thing hard.

No.......they are 15x8 Pacer alums.......they do resemble the stock alums.......33" work better on 8" rims if you off road......10" gets the tires knocked off the bead

Tire manufactuers all recommend 10" wheels for 33's for some reason.....but they fit a 8" perfectly.......when I got my 33's I was worried about the 8's....but after a reasearching a few off road and rockcrawling forums I was convince the 8's were better for 33" to keep them from getting knocked off the rims. They do not look squeezed on the rim at all. I can post a photo if you like.

Yes they were, and yes, there are many amazing places to go out, check my gallery for some very old pictures, i've been to several other places since.
