turning radius -long vs. short

[evan]

I've been trying to find the turning radius' of both the long wheel base and the short wheelbase. The closest I could find was the actual measurments of the wheel bases which are 117.5" for the short and 131.5" for the long.

Anyone know?

HMMM mines seem to be very short. I drop the 700R4 to 1st, turn the wheel all the way in one direction and stomp the gas!!!
Do the same, then measure the nice circle.

Very true - here is how I put it:
SWB w/ wide tire = sucks
LWB w/ wide tires = never do a u-turn, you won't make it

noy true, i don't think a short ed with wide tires sucks, i had 15x10's with 295/50's on them, and it wasn't to bad

Mine does the same thing.

I can do a U turn anywhere I want but that's only because I do "curb checks"
