    Slapped some 40s on so we will see how everything holds up.
    Tubbed about 4" out of the fender well, modified the rear carrier and will do a new design to the carrier.

    Nevermind the odd ball silicone marks on the edges...it will be re covered and smoothed over.

    Went wheeling and had a blast...nothing like wet dirt mud and rocks...pushed passenger door in and almost flopped a few times...grip was less than stellar...

    Do your 40's balance out well? I'm considering dropping tire size to get some power back but I've read a bunch of stories about how MTR's don't balance well. The 38x14.5r17 size is perfect for what I need really. Wish there were more options in that size!

    Balanced perfect...BUT there is a high spot on front left that at 70 hops...going to slap spare on there.....
    It feels a little slower off the line.....
    37s and 5:29 was spot on for sure...not too ,mention I climbed everything with that size....but Friday we are all headed to JV and I know my problem spots on sledgehammer and chocolate thunder so we will see how it fairs there....

    DESTINATION HAMMERS:
    So we hit the hammers Friday night ran chocolate thunder and resolution....tried back door a couple times didn't want t to break before the weekend.

    Then We hit claw hammer and all credit lines as well as I did the wall on left then off to SOS and took a newbie on tachammer. Then a few extra credit unamed lines. Got it fast in whoops as well as airborne a few times.....truck on 40s performed flawless....

    We also ran a couple other hammer trails.....I wanted SOS and the wall on claw hammer as well as lineup and give backdoor a shot this time out...
    Damage:
    Destroyed rear passenger door (removed panel and had to bend back to bet glass out of way to bend rest out so doors and locks as well as glass worked)
    Dented n rock assault housing up front
    Dented rear housing in and hit ring gear no gear damage
    Added another dent to passenger door driver side
    Smashed my winch fairlead and broke a chunk off
    Broke rear tail light
    Smashed the hell out of gas tank skid
    And some more stuff.....

    Truck drove home 80 mph no issues....

    Other damage I. Group and they didn't follow me on the nastier stuff...
    Mike broke a Dana 60 ring gear
    Other mike slashed a sidewall
    Buddy sliced maxxis trepadors

    We were not easy on stuff and I didn't take it easy on the rock assault front axle and Toyota rear with 40s....I had plenty of wheel spin and hopping....yes anything can brake But we are headed back to run johnson valley again soon and I will go harder next time....I don't drive like Ricky bobby lol...I get after it but not stupid never have been....

    Cool rig... I saw you near the In N Out Burger in PB last Wednesday. Looked like your alignment was off a bit.
    I'd like to check out your rig up close. My SAS is getting close. Want to check some things out.

    Later.
