I understand that the practicality of it is not what most would call "Wheel-able" but where I come from the bigger the tire the more fun you have...
Now don't get me wrong for tight trails as in the ones in CT, correct it's not a good idea unless you're doing a full tube w/ rear steer. However, I don't plan on living in CT again. The only reason my jeep is still there is I had no where to put it while I was over here and couldn't get it back to Illinois. So, Dauntless let me stick it at his house. Once again, Thank you for the concern, but the tire size is just a starting point... it could go up to 46's it could go down to 38's. the measurements and explaination was for best case. Once the measurements and math is done I will better know what tire size is feasable while still being a fully capable rig. The 350 gives me plenty of power to do pretty much whatever I want underneath with the axles as far as gearing/tire size, so I have tons of slop there. The rest is just getting it to look and handle the way I want it too. Roger the fact that there are not a whole lot of 40+ rigs in CT but that just means that the ones rolling and wheeling tires that big, have just gotten around the laws and are assisting in the changes that most states need to be able to enjoy our sport/hobby/life to the fullest extent possible. By rolling down the road, not driving like an ass, no matter the tire size, on any type of mud tire or "aggressive tread" you are waving you "colors" that you are into wheeling or at least "thinks it looks cool". The things that Toxic has been doing for a long time are the paper/admin side the rest of us have been doing the ignorant side (not saying in a bad way).... like in CT... can anyone tell me the allowed lift to be placed on a vehicle? How many inches can you LEGALLY raise the sprung portion of your vehicle? And how many of us are over that? I run Louisiana plates to get around it.... in LA, the height law is 72" to the tail light. How about motor swaps... anyone know the requirements for motor swaps in CT? how about must be newer than the vehicle it is being placed in.... also it had to be an option in that model. Once again, LA no requirement.
Now, mind you when completed I will probably not drive Sarah on a daily basis, but she will still be driven... Why build a truck or a jeep if you're not gonna drive it? Just like restoring a car to never take it out of the garage... just don't make sense.
