    no sir, 37x12.50 R16.5 They even measure out to what's on the sidewall unlike most other tires. The old bias ply HMMWV tires were 36's though.

    I changed them out right before I put the 37's on, so they only have about 10,000 miles on them. So far so good, although I keep expecting the rear end to grenade. I'm trying to kill it as an excuse to upgrade to something cooler, but it just won't die.

    My skidplates took themselves off somewhere in between Barstow and Lucerne. 2nd set I've donated to the desert, and the recent one was welded on. Welds are still there, ripped the skid loose though. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for some UHMW in the 3/8" thick range and considering working some sort of suspension into the skid, maybe just square DOM frame that will flex on impact or something. I also cut my crossmembers out and sleeved them internally as well as drove DOM into the frame with a sledge so the belly is plenty strong, just need to keep the trash out of the fan really.

    oh yeah. Miles of rally style dirt roads in varying states of repair, plus central oregon has hundreds of miles of open desert trails, dunes, etc. A lot of people don't know Oregon has such vast deserts, but east of the cascades is arid just like the Mojave, except it snows more up here. Even Washington state has some great desert wheeling, and dunes.

    4600 combat loaded ready for zombies. I bet it weighs about what your truck does, but I have a very spartan interior.
    There's a regional bs thread?
