That thing is gonna do horrible, you have the irregular moabs on it.

Drive down here for a comp, it's only like 10 hours away.

I have a courier body, a bronco body, a cj-8 body and a landcruiser and ofcourse I have several mountaineer/ bruiser/ hilux cabs too. I am not sure which one I will use yet.

Jason was just harrasing you. From what I've read, the two different tread patterns perform equally well.

I have 4 offset moabs I can send to you if you want, and you can send me your odd ball set. I really don't care if they are different.

Nice looking rig BTW.

several mountaineer/bruisers/hilux cabs heh? not looking to get rid of any are you? i really want a cab and grill for my hulk werks pre-runner. Not really looking for one in great shape at all...just need the pillars to be good.

As for which body...thats alot of choices...are you going to be cutting it up alot?? i guess it would depend on that...Because I like the look of cut CJs and LCs. If not I would go with the Courier of Bronco.

Not being nit-picky, but why didn't you use a wheel with more offset? RPM makes deeper Clawz.

can't argue with that. you'll probably want a little more width, though. but WTF, they're right there.
