Toasty on 40" Irocks ![[Linked Image]](http://pics.montypics.com/toasty/2010-06-04/1275723767_pict0212.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://pics.montypics.com/toasty/2010-06-04/1275723914_pict0214.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://pics.montypics.com/toasty/2010-06-04/1275724002_pict0217.jpg) Didn't rub all that bad and that was just 2" BL 1" suspension lifts, I probably could have pulled it off when i had the 3" suspension. Power was kind crappy though <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

That's right the bumper is mine and the snorkel is a TJM airtech, we did a group buy a couple years ago and just after that TJM pulled out of the US. You can still get them if you want it bad enough and if enough people want another group buy I could probably get one going.

Partytruck in Iceland ran 37" IROKS on his Gen 1 with no real issues. I believe he just did the 3" body lift too.

Gas is relatively cheap, as are trail spares. So, rock out witcha ... er. Well ya know. I want to see some pictures of articulation when you get them final mounted. Might sway me to go bigger.
On a side note, has anybody heard anything about Denman closing (the company that manufactures most Swampers for Interco, as well as their own Ground Hawg) and Supper Swappers getting hard to come by? I've now heard it from 3 of my hardcore rockcrawling buddies in the last couple months...
Fasteddy's advice is occasionally sound...

I Roll 36 Swampers. Daily Driver. You forget to mention the key points of a 4.3 Swap, front SAS, and a good amount of other lift. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Interco is in the process of getting their molds to another plant to start tire production again. The general guess on a time frame is they will be on back order until after Summer.

I've now heard it from 3 of my hardcore rockcrawling buddies in the last couple months... Mudraider's truck flexed really well with the 2" shackles, but that is useless to you <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> I will be running those for sure. He was rubbing the fender with 35s and a 2" shackle/2" bodylift! I have to buy wheel adapters first since the wheels are 5x5.5, and pop a bead and dump something in each tire to balance them. Haven't heard of the swamper deal thing...I bought mine used.
