cool truck! i wish i never took mine apart . tires are most likely backwards for tread wear when boggers get choppy you rotate them backwards and they flatten out and ride like good years!

i know you all dont like my ghey lift. but to be honest i want something thats alittle differernt, dont get me wrong all your guys trucks look like mad mamma jammas and acually are, but i want something with a little personality also. i want to drive this truck for a good while 5 or so years, and when i decided to pull it off the streets 100% im going to build my motor that is acually my goal and lower it back down some, but until then its going to be ghey lifted i guess.

he said new boggers. why the hell would anyone run them backwards? they grip like grease in reverse. choppy or not, i'd run them right. if the ride is too rough, go buy some bfg at's and hang out with jeep rubicon owners that don't know what a locking differential is:flipoff:

sand or not, automatically makes you seem slow to have backwards directional tires. i did read it paul, and i know he just bought it, so it's not his bad. but if you ran your truck in mainly sand, why the hell would you buy boggers, just to have to run them backwards?

i think this would've been a more appropriate tire for the job.
sweet truck though.

Pretty much everything needs to change to run E85.

Otherwise this is a VERY nice truck.
