They STILL don't look like 37's. The look like a set of 33's to me. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I find those new-fangled big rims hard to judge.. look at those new Dodges on 17s and 19s. Not much rubber, but when you stand next to the tire, you realize how big it is!

I am suprised that people are just now finding these cardomain pages <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" /> . As far as Rgilln goes the last one, 4x4wire is in his favorite links so that should give you guys a hint.

With the shiny rim's it's probably a posseur rig. Not to mention those shiny nerf bars. Nice looking rig though...

what sucks about the shiny nerf bars is they cost as much as real rock sliders at least with rock sliders people think you go wheeling hell you can make up stories about wheeling. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> I think offroader knows all about the power of nerf bars on the rocks CRUNCH <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

A roll cage was a bolt-in factory option for the J-Top. I wouldn't be surprized if the GenI SWBs came equipped with bolt holes for where it would be installed.

Yeah, my running boards (came with them) on my LWB have served well as rocker-buffers! I never wheeled it hard enough to push them up into the rockers, though the boards themselves are a bit wrinkled at this point. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
An interesting thought, Doug, on the bolt holes. I wonder where they attached. Maybe the Russian PDF will tell...

So i finally had time to check your link, i've read a lot of bad comments about my rig, but personally i don't really care about them, because i'm doing all this mods just to please one person, MYSELF. I do plan to make some big mods on the engine and the suspension, i want to install a chevy V8 instead of the turbo and change the suspension to coilovers, i will need to replace the diff's and i also plan to add lockers, i keep replacing things all the time, but i'm now installing only expensive ones, i went from a US100$ cheap light bar to the same ones that are used on trophy trucks on Baja 1000, most of the accesories have to be custom made, since i can't find them on the market.
I mostly use the rig for sand and baja trails, still not ready for rock crawling, the Raider is my favorite because there are few where i live and none with many mods.
