Live and learn and spend more money replacing I guess. 40s go on Friday, I hope I can clear enough metal in the back to keep most or all of my up travel. The first half of anaconda is a little challenging and lockers are a must. If you have a 4 door you must have either 37s or a winch to make it up the first waterfall. Plan on doing the whole trail once the 40s are dialed in.

Mostly rock guys will do this, sometimes mud guys when their tire is up against a tree root.
