    Absolutely. You ever make it down to CT? If I had to guess, you'll have plenty of clearance. Just a guess.

    Yes and yes!

    If you find anything with those wheel specs let me know. I want to move up to 35 x 10.5's like the kendas or mickey thompsons and want to go with a narrower wheel than I have now. 17 x8.5 0 offset. May go a bit more negative offset for rear shock relocation clearance

    They exist, they're just few and far between and usually expensive and/or heavy

    The KO2s going on my GX are 34x10.5 D-rated, we'll see how it plays out

    The Toyo's on my truck now are C-Rated and I have wheeled those things hard with no issues. Don't get me wrong, your 34's are more than likely a great tire......heck, I still have my fifth BFG as my full size spare, but I refuse to either 1. trust them again or 2. give them any more of my money.

    I get that. Very curious to find out how they fare given that I've been running the Toyos for 2 years now. Time will tell.

    Maybe someday. I could see skinny 35s looking great on the GX...

    At first I'm like.......



    But then I think, "well eventually if I am":
    1. re-geared
    2. not a daily driver
    3. just a dedicated trail rig
    4. install lockers
    then I think......



    But then my wallet reminds of .....

    It's not terrible! Especially if it's only for a trail day
