Trails are a lot different now. They are washed out and used. Places where you could just walk up with a Montero, you cant now.

I run my 35s with only a 3" body lift on 15x8 w/ 3.75" backspacing. Didn't used to rub but does now on the drivers front under compression when turning because my bumpstop broke off and it compresses more than usual. I have 4.625s with v6 and manual trans and I have to wheel in 4lo cause I have to slip clutch too much in high, btw my engine isn't in the best of shape, I think one or more of my piston rings are going. As far as how well it wheels, my only complaint is approach angle, cause of the winch, but other than that, it goes great.

I got bored:
I guess that would be close to what it would look like. It may look funny with the 34x9.5s until I get the $$$ for Q78s later down the road, but it will be an improvement either way.

In the pic is 40x12.5R16 Irok's on 8" wheels, but i run 35x13.5R15 Toyo M/t's. Get the Toyo's they're awesome but they are WAYYYY heavy as in 35" Toyo weighs 10 more Lbs than 40" Irok, I recommend having a light tire for a spare like a BFG or MTR that way you only have to lift the heavy tire once.

That reminds me of a competition on a local board, who can bench press a 44" bogger over their head? Someone eventually was able to do it
