PJ those are 9.00 R16's. They are fricken huge. The truck is 4" too tall to fit in my 16x7 home garage door. LOL. I'm talking now to Schwab about a BozeForged special rim for it to take the truck down a notch. I think they would be too balloon like to drive around the road a lot. He told me the Michelin 9.00's can be almost completely deflated with the bead locks and run no problem. That's what the sales guy said to fit it in my garage.
Kevin you don't know how much I want to build another big garage. I'd like to get my boat and hotrods home with my racecar trailer. I'm still working on the Land underneath it.

The new 550 came home yesterday. Driven a couple days now and damn it's fast. A little cold in our weather for no windshield, side windows, insulation or heat but it's power packed with 170hp and 1500lbs (just dyno'd)
Its just a touch shorter than my GMC
Fits nicely in the garage

Believe it or not I really like this car in Black. It's only been in the garage a week though and the finger smudges and stuff are truly driving me crazy already. I've never minded the dirt on my white cars.
Does anyone know who sells car washing stuff

16 x 7 = 16 inch rim, 7 inches wide... how tall are they? they look like at least 35 inch tires... maybe 37s.
you need the twist that a 4.6 will provide just to get that thing moving!
do you know if it has locking diffs? In all liklihood it has ARB air lockers in which case there is virtually nothing that could stop it.
Congrats to you and Ben on the D90s... it is the one car that I had that I wish I still had.

I special ordered that lift. Wasn't at all happy with the service. almost 2 months behind what they said after I paid them. They were having some financial issues I believe. It's a Superlift I wish it were a Revolution. It's got 8' lift and almost I believe over 9' wide between posts. My pickup is 7'6" so I had to go with it.
Revolution is much better. Those little legs I'm just not excited about.

It's got Safari Guard Swivel trailing arms. Also a Safari Guard air compressor attached to the AC so you can use air tools on the trail.
I'm looking into new wheels now for better travel down the road. Shorter and stockier. I'll keep these things for off road fun. The 5 Lug for these are different than most so Wheels won't be as easy. I'm looking now. The bead locks seem cool. The suspension also has 2" of travel that you can play with for a little lower cruising heights.
