    Yeah I think a friend of mine was thinking about that size but ended up doing the math and they are pretty much the same as 265/75.

    I really like those tires! Not to piss people off but I really didnt like the duratracs up close and in person but the mtr kevlar look awesome in person. Post some pics when you get them on. Also do you have AAL in back with the 5100s (1.5 or 2inch AAL)?

    ratrod,

    The camper is a Flippac shell- it is basically a roof top tent/topper that weighs about 280lbs. It works great for camping and is awesome as a topper as well. While it may look like a burrito truck, you can still rally pretty hard to reach some remote areas and be styling while everyone else is bear bait on the ground.
    For a nominal fee you can get them painted, check out TacoDoc on Expedition Portal.

    I hear you on the Duratrac tires. I thought they were a little ugly myself, but I do a lot of winter backcountry excursions and these tires seemed to get the best all weather ratings that I could find. Now that they are on, I REALLY like the looks of them- they are not loud on the highway and really hooked up on rocks, some mud, and furry critters.
