They look like Pitbull Rockers??

Yip. 37x12.5x17.

Probably not surprising as you look at the tread, they are not the greatest at highway speeds - have to concentrate far more than my old 37" KM2s and they are downright scary at 73+mph. Sound like a B-52 bomber - it's grown on me. But, they vastly outperform the KMs in the rocks, snow and mud.

No pictures but removed steer gear on Sunday to retap front fitting due to not happy with fit.New fitting gained more material to hold.Decided to keep the length of hose and add 90deg at steer gear to get the clearance needed to clear overflow tank.

No pics yet, but finished installing the EVO rockskins and tire carrier myself this week. It looks so BA, instantly recognizable, but I'm not sure if I'd go that direction again. But the point of no return was passed when I drilled out the 4.5" hole for the taillight. Maybe someday I'll write up a complete review of the whole experience... but for now I'm just happy to be done.

Going to have the gears changed in the Rubi next week. I think I'm going with 4.88's. I don't do hardcore rock crawling, I just want to get my power back on the freeway. Oh, I'm running 35's.

Anyone go through this yet? Is 4.88's the way to go?

Thanks
Mike

Hey Mike. Is it an automatic or a manual? Mine is a manual, running on 35's, and I just got 4.88 gears a couple months ago. My answer to your question is if yours is a stick, and you JUST want to get back to the "stock" power level that you had before adding 35's and a whole bunch of new weight with your bumper, winch, etc - then go with 4.56. That will allow you to cruise at highway speeds at or below 2500 rpm. BUT if you want a power level slightly greater than what you had at stock, go with 4.88 but be prepared to cruise at highway speed with your tach needle closer to 3000 rpm. With 4.88's sometimes I don't even bother starting off in 1st gear - it can get that slow. Heck, sometimes I play games with it and just go with even-numbered gears (2-4-6) getting onto the freeway. Anyway, back to your question, it's really your choice. If you eventually plan to go to 37's then you might as well do 4.88's now.
