That looks pretty stupid IMO, I'd throw some Baja T/A's on it.

might be on there due to regulations about tread outside the fender. I agree it looks rather strange. Like he is at wot on 12S but standing still.

if its a law thing, i say much wider fenders and a much wider wheel\tire combo.


it might work if it was a crawler and not a baja style truck

It has a shackled solid front axle. How is that baja style?

I believe you are talking about what i call a "tropy truck"

baja to me is a pickup truck with a mild lift and a front stinger\bumper that is made for moderate terrain and mostly sand.

Has to be someplace with the "covered tire" laws....cuz I can't imagine they chose to install those for other reasons...

Looks like XZL's. There is a guy over on Pirate who sells them for like $75 each in 37's. But I think they are 16.5's which sucks!

The XZL's have a more agressive 3-lug pattern.
