Finally....36" tires on the VX

[BigMeatVX]

Yep, you read it right, I squeezed 'em in there....

there are a couple pics over in the gallery of it.....

Had to do a bit more trimming on the "inner" fender areas...but not TOO noticable.

Had to lift 'er about 4" (jeep springs), but I think I am gonna go 1" more for a total of 5" suspension lift ONLY (no body lift)

Hopefully the ome 913 (not 912) will let me achieve this...any one out there have the 913s installed?

The tires are 305/85/16 Buckshot Radial Mudders on stock 99 wheels.

Still have a little more work to do on the proper fit w/o rubbing.

They might give you less. On another thread this was talked about. VR4-Quest is thinking of getting them. According to this link:
http://www.independent4x.com/item.html?PRID=1027874
The 913's Give the Trooper 0" Lift while the 912's Give 2". Kinda weird. Might want to call somewhere and ask to see if it is a typo. Those 36" look nice, nice, nice!

Thanks for the tips...
I was looking at this...

www.4x4wire.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=68;t=010342

and it was confusing , too.

I don't trust Matts site much (independent 4x4)
their acuracy , that is....

I love the tires. I can't see myself going that big (LOL, I say that now), but I'm glad to see there are people out there willing to put the effort into trying.
