I found these on Craigslist.

http://lancaster.craigslist.org/pts/3795423119.html

33x14.5x15 boggers. The price is awesome, and hes got rims to match. But could I effectively use such a wide tire like this offroad only with stock gearing?

To run 12.5s you need a rim with 3.75 bs. If you have stock lowers you'll be fine as long as you get a rim with the abovementioned backspace.

I changed my spark plugs in the cold rain this morning. This is what I found

2 of the plugs had carbon deposits completely filling the gap.

I replaced them with Champion Coppers and went for a drive. It seems to have fixed my "idle" problem

Started my cowl intake tonight. I'm having a hard time making it fit well and clear the hood. I need to go pick up a intake hose from the Jy, then hopefully finish this project. I'll post lots of pics when done.

Well here it is. Didn't turn out exactly as I planned but it works. I don't really feel any power differences, but I didnt expect one. I'm more interested to know how it affects my MPGs
