Im getting out the mud business
With all the recent inflow of post saying BFG ATs, 3.50 gears, D44TTBs, open diffs and 40" tires I have decided that maybe we are wrong and they are right.
In response I have decided to pull the 38.5" swampers and replace them with Apache 9.50R16.5 "All season" tires on 16.5x6 steelies. A tire so chitty they dont even qualify for a height designation

Nick,
Im really looking for a 35TTB and matching 7.5 rear with open diffs and 3.54 gears.
Paul,
you can have the swampers and steelies if you find me a really bling set of 33x12.50 BFGs on 20x8 spinners.
Fishy,
why cut against the grain? why not go with the flow of under powered under geared under tractioned "mud trucks"

Too bad the evos are 8x170mm bolt pattern. That would be perfect for George though

I cant stand it anymore!
I had to put the 30" tires on so the cherry picker would pick my engine up high enough to clear the grill. Last time I pulled the engine I had these tires on it and it came out fine. When I went to put the engine back in I had already put the swampers on and couldnt get the engine in. I probably couldve gotten away with just the fronts but the idea of George on 30s was too funny to pass up.
Ive got the engine out and I should start working on it tomorrow.
