They're going to end up a weeee bit heavier once you wrap some rubber round them.

Looks good Jase, having those tyres sticking out so far will help push your truck away from banks and stuff when you in tight stuff and help protect the body work a bit (not that I think you have to worry about your surf bodywork) and stop the body from getting all hooked up on stuff

Keep up the good work

Nice Mudzilla's

Remember they love MUD and you need to keep them spinning fast to get thru, in sand they like to dig big holes, are you running tubes? coz you need to drop em to at least 10psi coz of the hard sidewalls. watch em on sidelings .... if it feels like they are sliding you off they are, trick is to keep em moving......

haha, they look mean, makes me miss my old surf.....

Looking really good, get them out in the mud!

not tubed yet they, didn't have any instock, so i got them to order me some.

It looks so much better in person tho:D, my mum even said it looked hott? lol.

Was looking at it from about 20 meters AWAY from the rear and damn it looked soooo good:D, just waiting for dad to get back from the beach hop to see what he says:D.

beleve me i want to get them out in the mud....

its way more bumpyer now tho and you feel every pot hole. but i stilll love it

Looks sweet.

Whereabouts is the rubbing? My 33s rub on the sway bar and the pitman arm, I need some rims with a bit more offset but not so much that I start rubbing on the body.

it's rubbing where the two seems are welded to geather? i on't know if thats the corect name, but you can see where it has ripped the plastic away in one of the pictures..

where do i get flares from??.

i remember a post on here about getting some garden trim or somthing from bunnings? and it works good as flares.

My new tyres were rubbin on the seam also, just "Massaged" the seam inwards with a big fargin hammer, aswell as adjusting part of the floor plan with the same method. then applied some underseal to stop iron oxide.

I also cut the plastic guardliner off where it joins to the lower guard and bashed the gyard lip back on it self behind the guard, otherwise the first time ya susp compress and ya wheel turns, the sharp edge will slice into ya tread

wont affect it if they dont know... i took my innner guard out, smashed back the seam than put the inner guard back in, you cant tell its been done that way...

pic above looks primo too, be interesting to see how your tyres wear, im looking at a set of 35's for my patrol, but they will get a bit of road use so not too sure.
