    They are narrow for sure but they work for me. Not much mud to get into mall crawling :mudding:

    Thinner tires are actually better for mud. Cut deep and get to solid ground. Wider tires would be better for snow or rock crawling where you air your tires down super low for more surface area.

    I really want to make that meet, but I have my kids that weekend, and I doubt they will go for it. I plan to try though.

    Well longevity would be my only concern with the stickers. But the quality is awesome and I prefer the flat look opposed to raised. That's all personal opinion though. I really do like the mountains to.

    Just don't get km2.... we need to be a little different:rofl:

    Had the oh so gratifying opportunity to ruin a little jeep meet with the ole taco last night at Veloce. There were some good looking rigs, a few had some pin strips so at least it wasn't straight mall crawlers.

    While wheeling, your tire will move further than you can move it sitting still. Do to braking and turning on downhill terrian, it will bend the suspension a little further back. You're going to hit he cab mount being that close. Ask me how I know.

    Chopping the cab mount is pretty easy. I have chopped the mount on two taco's and never installed a reinforcement plate, and never had any issue.
