Meant to say 30... Fitting a 35 would be a colossal feat and waste of time.

How soon??? We need to get that thing out to Barnwell and scratch it up![/QUOTE]

Hopefully going to get a locker and winch before too long, maybe one next month. And I think I know a guy who has a little experience putting a locker in... hint hint.

I heard you played a little golf this past weekend, I would have paid money to see Adam out there chasing his ball all over the place!

agh!!! I was hoping to see front axle/NP 242 swap pics. No worries, I'll yank ya outta trouble when we meet up. Throw an aussie locker in the 8.25 and you won't be in much different shape than a 4x4 open/open. can't wait to catch up dude

I know this is an old old thread, but I love the look of the black Canyon rims, did you have any issues with backspacing? I have the 15x7 and am looking at running 31x10.5's.

A little rubbing compound, clay bar, hand wax, and 4 hours is all it takes.
