    Haha, right on...I wanna do it but can't bring myself to cut up my ARB just yet, eventually though!

    Well can't wait to see the finished product! Are you going to be doing the rears as well?!

    The ARB?! I'm afraid to cut my fenders but I'm doing it anyway. :D

    Yeah, the rears too, it would look weird without I think.

    Like you're going to have to cut the front bumper to match the flares/fenders

    And I'll probably be cutting my fenders this weekend though:spy:

    Discount has BFG TA KO 315/75s in stock

    or I could wait a day and have duratracs

    I love my duratracs but the the BFGs are cheaper and last longer (only about $90 cheaper but... they last probably 10-15k longer and I imagine they're easier on the gas) Duratracs look better but the BFGs seem like a smarter choice.

    I'm having trouble deciding, planning to head there tomorrow morning to pick some up.

    What to do!?

    Well seems like you've pretty much decided on what you're doing :rolleyes:

    but I'd go with the BFG's since they're a great all-around tire with a decent design and not super expensive!

    Just get the duratracs max. You'll be happy you waited. Maybe see if they will drop the price. I got them to take $35 off each mtr. But had to wait a week.

    I say do the smart thing and go with the cheaper, longer lasting tire. Its not like the at tire is going to be that much worse. Your going to choose between 2 bad ass tires anyway you wont loose if your choose. I think that I would suggest running the at bfg. Plus that is the one I was going to do for my year round tire and I am going to make my next set of duratracs a winter only tire. I told you that already. The bfg was a little better in my eyes for 90% of my driving so if it were me I would do that.

    Still have a little more trimming to do and then I'll cut the fenders whenever my flares are finished.

    Ah god damn it... I'm copying too many people here Max, but thanks. :)

    Yeah no wheelin for me until I pull the shock and stuff that tire and clearance more. I might not even do anything until I cut the fenders, I'm not sure.
