I guess the one concern is a short if you get into an accident. A bumper, winch, and pair of batteries would be a heck of a lot of weight up front, I'd think. You'd certainly have some serious momentum for the battering ram effect. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />

It's like we always say, "what's the rig going to be used for?" I would hazzard to guess that this one would fare far better in overlander mode cruising the Outback than many others' setup.

When I decide to add another battery, I am thinking of stealing a battery box from a junked trail blazer. Since their batterys are under the rear pass seats, most models they have cool plastic cases. Really cool for those looking to balance out thier rigs. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> (as you can see in my sig I have TB floormats that fit extremly well)

Maybe it is just the shot, but those don't look like 37's. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

I looked at the rest of his pics. He does say the pic that is posted above has the 33s on it. He has a couple close up pics of the 37 but they are to close to tell what it looks like.

Yup, I threw up the wrong pic. Here's the right one... ![[Linked Image]](http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/12/web/840000-840999/840336_29_full.jpg) The 37's are running on 17" rims so it does throw off the perspective a bit. With the shiny rim's it's probably a posseur rig. Plus a measly 3.0 with stock gears turning 37's has got to be pretty slow.
