Small Tire Crew

Postby OldGreen » Fri Jan 01, 2010 2:51 pm

So. . .Jose. . .is the final call on the small tire crew going to be 31s or smaller?

I'm just thinkin'. . .

BIIs, early CJ, maybe a WJ and a ZJ or two or a few XJs. . .Yeah. . .235/75s to 31s. . .fully self contained, drive to the trail, camp out, dutch ovens. . .easy trails. . .

Maybe even a 4 banger YJ in forest green?

33s (please). Maybe a TJ or even an LJ.

[I'm sure 33's are the new 31's.]
Okay, we're a little crazy to have a Duramax for a daily driver. But if we go off our meds, we might wind up in a Prius.

The point of this whole thing was kind of an old school, run what you brung, no "point and shoot" wheelers kind of an affair:

soccer mom mobiles, old stuff, cheap stuff, open diffs, small tires. . .just go to the hills once in a while without such a reliance on big, locked, loaded rigs.

Okay, then it is settled. I'll steal the neighbor kid's 4cyl YJ. Things been driving me crazy sitting out there anyways.

Do you think it'd go out in any other fashion? :lol: I still have to yard the rear end out for James and replace it with a yota rear before I can do anything though so depending on when this adventure takes place I may or may not be out.

Written. . .so

31x10.50R15
245/75R16
265/70R16

or smaller. . .

Something like a stock Jeep on 31s or a Bronco II on 235s. . .

Crap, I brought the truck home this weekend so I didn't grab a wheel for you at the 'rents... Swing by tomorrow and I'll dismount one that's here for you. :D

Actually it's a kick going back to 31's as it puts some challenge back into wheeling. :D

Well guess my F250 can make the trip then, LOL. Maybe I should follow the trend and go get a bronco II just for the trip and sell it when I'm done. :D
