    What you tend to overlook is, it's sound logical advice for YOUR application, & YOUR preferences.

    I don't particularly like chrome, OR changing flats on the trail, as I don't have an inflatable mattress with me...

    Oops...almost forgot my manners...You're Welcome!...

    for some reference. They are the exact same but chrome.

    If you don't mind the rough ride getting rougher, the width they add makes her handle like a friggin roadster.

    Of course, I put a smaller bit of rubber on her with these vs my factory 16's. I kept those for the occasional off roading.

    I'm sure you don't mind cutting (and you may have already) but anymore rubber than you see on mine and you will definitely be cutting/jacking her up.

    Hope that helps!
    LOL...Dude, I'm already lifted to pretty near the max of suspension lift without a diff drop, carved more cladding than most, & also done the thing on the inside of the front fender wells.

    I'm rollin' on 33" x 12.50 x 20's (load range E) inflated to 60 psi...aside from replacing the shocks with solid steel struts, I don't think it COULD ride much rougher...

    However, I DO appreciate the input......

    Moab has become more of a social gathering for me, with a few exceptions, I've done most of the trails that I care to do.

    I'm hoping that's a sign of the whole age = wisdom thing, but who knows?...

    Ah; Ldub, you are incorrect again as usual (with your sign-off trademark as it truly fits you). I take great pride in my analysis of each and every thread I respond to and always justify my response. My replies are never for my own application, but rather tailored to the individual making the inquiry and to his/her specific application.

    It appears you initiated this thread for pure self gratification in that you had already decided on your new wheel/tire set-up and just wanted others to pat you on the back in order to make you feel good which is very selfish and inconsiderate of you. However; when you asked "What do you think of these.....", and someone disagrees with your specific point of view, then you get your panties all up in a bind like a wedgy. If you don't want our honest opinion; then please don't ask for it, as you waste everyone's time and effort on this forum.

    Ah come on Riff, we all post our likes and wants (and dreams), and we enjoy hearing what others think or can contribute, or make fun of..... but in a fun & friendly manner. That's what keeps this board so awesome. We just don't enjoy an authoritative spanking from other members. We're all equals here. Lighten' up a bit. It's all good!
