    I think it's worth it for these.

    What does a rocker or a trep run compared to whatever else? I'm sure they're pretty fawking heavy too.

    The 10 ply Iroks in the 40" range are listed from 95 to 100 lbs according to Interco's site.

    The 41" rockers are listed from 110 to 118 lbs according to Pitbull's site.

    From FourWheeler.com Not sure what those wheels weigh though.

    Yeah, they're all pretty heavy. I'm not worried about it.

    I'll remember when you break a leaf spring again and you didn't pack a spare. CYA BITCH :D

    Ps I didn't have a spare for 3 years. Didn't even need it. Sure I lost a few beads but that's what ether is for :D

    Good to hear, just a pet peeve when people roll with no spare. I got stuck buying a new one bc I couldn't find a used one at the time.

    I would love to get 40's but just had purchased these 37's. Its gonna be a while unless a miracle happens.

    The odds of getting a flat are much higher that the odds of breaking a leaf. And I bet I can find and source a chevy 63 main leaf faster and cheaper than you could (if) source a 40" tire in the right rim size in a pinch ;)

    Can't believe this thing is/was a Tacoma.:bananadead:

    At least we got some shit done on Supra TTs truck over the weekend.

    [​IMG]

    Installed a Badlands 12000lb winch
    Replaced a couple driveshaft u-joints
    Wookie strength carrier bearing mod
    Took the d44 down the street to get the new r&p and spool installed
    Front driveshaft was contacting the tranny crossmember when the driver side was flexed, so I clearanced it further and used some scrap 1/4" 4130 plate to reinforce it.

    Got Rays (oneup) Taco on the road. Well, sort of. We still need to get the exhaust done and run hi ARB lines but then it's ready to hit some trails. Just took it to get some gas in it. He said it ran smooth and tracked straight.

    Heres a short video with me following behind him from the gas station.

    I think it matters mainly in your area. I waited for a few years for my waggy 44 to pop up. I paid $340 for it with 4.88Ts and high steer arms on it.
