    now now dont go there with that engine talk. we all know gearing changes everything. unlike ben i am not building a road queen. the trail is where it shows


    but any way thats the spirit!


    in reality if i even had a decent welder I could have managed to do it on my own. Youre right though. Konsta is a great fabricator and was a huge help! Plus a ton of fun!

    Haha yeah I'm just messing. I hope I didn't start a gearing/engine/race/tire size war....


    I'll get it done some day and be awesome like you guys haha thought about talking to a local fab guy that slams trucks all the time. If he can do frame notching with much success why not a little tubbing haha

    Yes, but it sucks and the owner is very rude.
    Just because I don't wheel hard doesn't mean the extra clearance doesn't help. Makes it so I don't have to push the limits as hard clearance wise.

    oh dont worry, you wont start a war...ill just lose every time any way. as much shit as I throw around i dont ever care. at the end of the day all i care about is that you bring what you got (responsibly), push it a bit and have some fun :cheers:
    HUUZZZAHHH!
    there is some truth to this lol. Makes sense for sure, nothing wrong with that! As soon as I got 35s though I was hitting obstacles and trails I never would have on my crappy 33s. I am using every bit of clearance i have and then some lol
