    That's what I'd like to avoid... looking to go the big tires on minimal lift route.

    I really like the way this looks:

    I believe the BL will do the trick & I should not rub at all even flexed...

    Obviously you've got glass up front, but is there any rubbing in the back?

    not really, the expos give me good lift and with the big pyramid bump stops it isn't bad at all, you can see where it rubs but the flares haven't ripped off yet :eek:

    stepping down from a 35x13.2 to a 315/70 has helped quite a bit with the rubbing, I'm also running 1.25" spacers all the way around

    Gotcha.

    I'm planning on a 17" wheel with 4" BS - that should eliminate the meet for spacers.

    The test fit with Thayers was very eye opening as to what all needs to be done to make it happen.

    not much... Got some wheelers front bumpstops that need to be installed yet.
    Just purchased a new CB Antenna mount as I snapped off the last one at Beech Creek.:eek:
    Really just saving up for a re-gear & 35's.
    Anthony's coming over tomorrow to pick up his raptor grill & we'l be measuring for his flares.
    He just got his shackle flip & I'm looking forward to seeing it as I purchased the same one...
    Will I see you on the 30th?

    Thanks Linwood!
    The key is the added clearance the sectioned flares offer. :cool:

    Went up to Rausch today for some snow wheeling with ColinB and one of his Land Rover buddies Doug.

    [​IMG]

    Unfortunately we kept getting caught up by some very inexperienced and ill equipped Land Rovers. Colin actually ended up winching one of these idiots out of a green trail - the guy had a stock rover on street tires. :facepalm:

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    This escapade killed a good 45min... :rolleyes:

    I stopped taking pics after that - I was paying too much attention to the antics of the rovers. :laughing:

    Here's a shot of Colin and I at one of the many many stops on the trails:

    [​IMG]

    It was cool to catch up with Colin & his buddy Doug was a nice guy. The other Rovers kinda killed it for me though. After watching this Rover Idiot with 33" MT's fail to ascend a hill in front of me for 30 min. I just about reached my frustration level.
    The Rover Idiot finally had another Rover Driver come and drive his truck up the hill for him... :facepalm:
    It would have been funny if it had not been so sad.
    For a vehicle that sells new for over $60K I expected much more... :notsure:

    true - not all the Rovers were inept - only 2 or 3 out of the group... But that's all it took to screw it up!:rolleyes:
    No plans to offer them but I am working on a set of clearances stock flares for a local member in exchange for his help with a Mod that I want. :D
