Well, I'll be danged, the 37s DO fit! :-D

No problem with fitment- not that I thought there would be a problem anyways.

37's look a lot better IMO compared to the 35s that they replaced. Not a whole lot of difference, but they fill up that gap better.







Done-

Exhaust
Gears
Tires
Frame fix (steering box)

Next up-

(Waiting in garage) 2 x 12" Alpine Subs/Amp, 4 channel for front/rear speakers

Then that's it!!! I am done!!!

Awesome looking burb. I gotta agree the 37"s definantly fill that gap more and make it look better.

That looks really nice, makes me wish I had my 86 burb back, mine had the blue insert. BTW, what type of mileage are you getting with fuel injection on that?

Re: Well, I'll be danged, the 37s DO fit! :-D

Haven't actually measured mileage yet... I only live 3 miles from work, and it takes a good 2 weeks to get through a tank...

I need to though. If I had to guess, I would say I will get around 11-12MPG. Seems reasonable. I will get mileage and report back.
