    I've got a 4.88 rear on the way and about to order a locked front. My truck is heavy as hell with all the bullshit on it and I tow a trailer now and then, so hopefully the 4.88s work well.

    Still deciding on tires and if I want to cut fenders or get glass... I got a lot of work ahead of me lol

    Found some bonus parts coming out of my passenger CV the other day

    Makes sense, that was my reasoning as well. Cutting is the easier fix, but I like the look of my glass. I just wish they would make a +2 bedside to match. That cv get chewed up at bmra too?

    I love the look of your +2 fenders. Seeing them in person is making me lean more that direction vs. cutting. Yours are McNeil, right?

    Yeah I think that CV got trashed when the rear did, but it finally started puking once I got the truck home. Good thing I've got a spare CV already!

    I learned my "don't be stupid" lesson the hard way :frusty:

    It hasn't all been death and destruction around here. Last weekend I got to lift the T4R for @MellyMel

    Time for bigger tires for her too!

    I'm sure there's someone over that way that you could convince to pick them up for you.

    Yeah, you're right. I'll holler at some of my buddies out that way and see if they can hook me up.

    What's your timeline looking like on when the war wagon will be on the trails again? I need to see that beast in action.

    265/70/17 BFG KO2s

    All come with Discount Tire Certificates on them as well. About 10k or so miles on them I am pretty sure.

    You can go with Steven's 32" tires and there's no cutting/trimming on your baby... or go with 33" 285s and 1) you'll need new wheels because the T4R Pro wheels are narrow af and 2) we'll need to cut and chop a little bit. That's up to you. New wheels are cool... I'm gonna need some soon myself.

    It depends on how serious you want to wheel... bigger tires = better. You can always ride/drive mine if you want to do harder trails on bigger tires.

    Keeping smaller tires will benefit your every day driving as well as gas mileage. I don't drive every day so I'm saying eff it, let's stuff 37s on the truck.... however, big tires on your shorter wheelbase T4R could be fun! It's a toss up babe. I'm inclined to think that one of us needs to be somewhat practical. :rofl::p:cool:;)

    I mean.... it is what it is. I'm too far gone already :p

    or, practicality goes out the window with the 4x4s and we get a commuter car as backup
