Hey Thanks. I just ordered some 33.5x11.5x16 inch BFgoodrich All Terrains. I've seen alot of people run 35s on here with aftermarket wheels.

You can do 33s with no rubbing at full flex. 35s with MINOR rubbing at full flex. Other than that, no problems.

Vinny, why'd you go with A/Ts and not M/Ts?

I ran BFG AT's on my last truck for 50K miles and they worked great on the beach and wore really good. I had BFG MTs also but only used them for 6k miles and put the ATs back on, the ATs did better in the snow and tracked better on the sand. I never did get to wheel the MTs on rocks or mud so I cant judge them there I am sure they would be better in that aspect, but I wheeled my truck at Paragon with ATs 4 or 5 times and they did fine. For where it will be wheeled they should be fine, although Jeeps do look much better with a MT tread!

I know LIOR has visited a trail right off of Route 8 at the MA/CT border.

Could someone please PM me info on where it is, access information, etc? I will be up that way this weekend with 2-3 buddies who have jeeps and trucks and would like to check it out - I hear it's only about 2.5 hours, which is ideal since we're just looking for a short run after our other weekend activities.

Thanks!

Still waiting on them all, Says its scheduled for Thursday next week, they are coming from Arizona.

On a side note, Yendor65 I saw you on Sunrise, I had the VW Bettle, pretty sure it was your white JK. Theres also a green hardtop rubi running around here with a sweet roofrack, he was in Best Buy didnt get a chance to say whats up and recommend him over here though if he isnt already.
