cool, if I would have had the money for a front bumper then I would have snagged it, good buy.

Got some 35s put on and got a matching spare wheel put on. Sold my rear bumper (not strong enough for 35s) and picked up a piece of 1/4"angle steel to weld to my flimsy rear crossmember. Also have more parts on the way!

that rear bumper would hold a 37...
The flight attendant told me it did not count if I joined solo, and then asked me to zip up and put the tray table back in the upright position.

Look like tread wrights to me but they arent.  I forget what he told me they were.  Mud Rovers maybe?

Aaron, you can trust whatever Vec tells you.  He runs Joe Fab Works.   :pfft:

Yeah they are mud rovers.

 :blah:
Im sure that if u think it could hold 37s then it can hold 37s. Im just sayin that I wasnt comfortable with that carrier holding that much weight and I didnt like how the latch system and such works. Just didnt seem that secure to me. lol
