Thought so.
Not going for 33"s. Gonna get 265/75/16 Trexus M/T's (when have the money). In the mean time will try & build some rocker protection & beefier skid plates. If will manage in time will let you guys know (if not will wait for next time).

P.S. which tire would you recommend for the west coast.
I made my choice for Trexus based on my east coast experience. Maybe there's something better suited for here?


265s are about a 32" tire, a little small in todays world. As far as tire? I really think it is hard to beat a 3 ply BFG M/T. The pinching boulders of the Sierras trash allot of tires, and the BFGs seem to hold up best. The bead lock also helps avoid broken beads, which are also VERY common.

1996 SR From the Area 51 Skunk Works. 37"BFG Tires, 5" lift, Rock Track 4:1 Case, Tom Woods Drive Shafts, Oasis Air, Front ARB, lifted gas tank, T-max winch and lots of stuff that cost too much.
