Its taking every iota of self control I have not to jump in and post a reply in that thread. But I figure, whats the point when its already gotten so bad?
In another news, my driveline showed up today.
With the yoke for a corp. 14 instead of my Dana 70
Ahhh, well, mistakes happen and Jess will take care of it.

Well I just got off the phone with Interco. The 42" tires in 16, 16.5, and 17 will go into production in 2 weeks (15s have not yet passed tests yet). This means I'll probably have them in about a month if I can scrape the money together as I just blew my tire funds on a new laptop. Sooooo mid June I'll be ready to roll with my project. I agree though, we need a good topic to follow here.
Idio, did you ever try mounting the tractor tire on the 16.5 rim? I'm still interested in this route for a MUD tire.

Just the IROK. I'm hoping someone over there buys a clue in the next year or so and starts the boggers and TSL's in a 16" rim. I was going to go with the 39.5" IROK's but some jackass on Pirate told me they had a 42" coming. 
I thought to myself "What's 2 inches?" but when I asked my girlfriend she laughed hysterically . . . guess size DOES matter. 
So I'm holding out for the 42's . . . figure if I can clear them then I can get a set of 44" boggers for mud, provided I find some mud. But I'm also interested in Idio's 44" tractor tire quest. I haven't been able to find anything similar in town though I haven't looked too hard yet.

ya ya ya. ive been real busy these last few weeks. school is comming to an end, and i have a chit load to do for midterms and finals. as for the tires. i might go sometime this week and check them out. i can probably get a set of 4 42-44" on 16.1 wheels for an 8on8 bolt pattern for 600. then all i would have to do is unbolt the centers and make some for an 8on6.5 that bolt right back in. i dunno though. im way busy. i just got my axles last weekend, im getting my motor in a week, i need to rebuilt my rear 12 bolt, get a spool for it. weld my front. get 2 sets of F150 springs, get a brake master cylinder and booster for my power breaks swap and get a powersteering pump...........then i need to find some 44" boggers to put on there.
but none the less i may look farther into those tires in the next week or so.

The tire itself is 15" wide I believe. I am putting mine on 16x10 rims (Eagle 589's . . . bling bling! ) Part of the reason I chose them is they're narrow enough to fit on my truck without having to mount gigantic flares.
EDIT: By this I mean the reason I chose the IROK's, not the rims.
Idio, let me know what you find out with the tires when you get around to it. I wouldn't be ready for them until August or September but I think the idea would be awesome. I just don't know what it would take to mount them. Also, you'd talked about borrowing a 16.5 and trying to mount them . . . curious to know if this works.
