Check the new wheel/tire combo + top removal setup w/cage



Like the wheel and tire combo? I think the 31x10.50s on 15x8s go WAY better then the 38s on 16x10s eh?





Another pic that you can get one of these old girls on a uhaul with about .5" to spare!



Finally, my top ceiling mounting technique. Criticism is welcome! The setup is a lot trickier with a lot fewer options when you have a roll bar/cage! I think it's safe, and I overrated everything... Wish I could have another 2x4 up front, or better yet a piece of plywood with anchors at all four corners, but it's just not an option for me. Top is like 10 feet in the air... Out of the way, but pretty scary looking.

I say some 28 inchers would go better. Maybe on some 14x7's. You should at least go with a few more inches of lift.

I was thinking about it... I might get some wheel rub at full articulation with these big 31s. Maybe 235/75s are the way to go. I can get them off of my neighbors S10!
