    Did he tub everything to fit the 37's or just give it all lots of love with a BFH?

    Got pics of tubbing if that was the route he took?

    I just assumed he had them out so he could show it at full droop. I also assumed he was a 4x4 since you have been posting pics of him wheeling with you. haha

    he's managed his way up stuff that i've had to take multiple shots at.

    that kind of travel, big ol' tires, and ARB in the rear, and the fact that he's a very good driver makes for a pretty deadly combination.

    he made it up this no problem. usually getting that twisted and/or sideways in a 2wd makes it a no go

    this is the only picture i have ofhim in that section. he was still on 35s at this point.

    Yep! Travel helps amazingly, as I'm sure you are well aware. haha Can't keep good traction if you can't keep your tires on the ground. I'm sure the 37's help with that a ton as well. I need more ground clearance... I can't wait to get some taller tires...

    That's pretty awesome that he hangs with/shows up all you 4x4's!:cool:

    he's also one of the few people who would do the high speed with me. always a blase wheeling with him. he's got the icon rear bumps, and man do they work.

    MEh, it's OK. I'm partial to the super sexy one on the left in this picture (and that's left the way we are viewing it, not left the way they are parked)
