Thats what I am planning on doing. 35's are still going to look kinda small though. At least from my measurements. I dont plan on jumping stuff or anything, but I already put it in a lil mud and it was really fun.. have not really run it offroad at all before. I am definitely going with M/T's. I dont like the look of any of the A/T's that I have seen anywhere. Mickey makes the best looking A/T's in my opinion. I want grapplers or baja claws pretty bad.

Baja Claws are ****. I hate them with a passion. I GAVE a almost new set to my friend. They straight sucked. They couldn't get them balenced right, nor could they even get it to align right. So I HIGHLY dont recommend them. Go on 4wheelparts.com and check out the tires there. I looked over every tire on there so far.

You are the first person that I have ever heard complain about them.

Haha yeah it would hit about 185 degrees and that thing would be gone!

The first ones were way better than the second ones. I dont know if I would get rid of the wheels that I have now.. They have grown on me BIG time. I may though I dont know. The tires on the first ones look pretty good though.

Dang.. well I dont think I wanna spend all that for a set of wheels I dont want. Hopefully I can get a good deal at one of these meskin shops.

Thanks man. I like it. Feel much bigger than everyone else, and it doesnt even have big tires yet. Of course...I know there are trucks that are bigger around.
I am looking at a set of 36's right now, because they are new for $1000.

Well my crossmember is 22" off the ground and my nerf bars are right about 2 foot. So I would say alot. I can get on a creeper and go anywhere underneath it with plenty of room to spare. It is doetsch and I would assume that its like doe-tsch. I cant really explain it.
