most people were in class so they couldnt see. i figured id keep the 33's. better mpg. ha not really, maybe in another month or so. im not in too big of a hurry.

action shots wont be for awhile. the most you will probably see is a mud puddle for now.

haha very true.

for those who keep wondering why its so tall, ill show you why.

here a picture of "the trench" its the baddest pit around!


and a few of the only rigs that can make it through








of course i wont be in the same class as these guys. i might barrow some 35's and stay in that class because the next size up is 36-44's. but all the other bogs around here i should do very well with 38's.

Not to poop on your parade but I doubt a ranger could get through that. I dont doubt the height, its the torque.
