Slicks aren't meant for off roading? Huh, guess that's what I'm doing wrong.

Seriously, though, good deal for $100!!

they are doing great with the 3.07's and I agree, stretch the rear a bit and 37's would slide right under

I can't imagine how excited you must be to get your 4 wheel drive back in that beast! Again awesome rig and I am more impressed with how your build has gone than many of the high dollar rigs. Keep up the great work.

Yay spider gears!

If I knew you needed some I'd have sent you mine before they were stolen. At least you'd have gotten use.

last time we ripped the rack off in Las vegas it broke the tack welds so i need to tack it back down as it will slide forward or backward on the roof if not. its not much movement but it is enough for me to strap it
