Thinking that if you had issues with yours mine won't fit.

I'll have to check out the pics sometime. All my computers are broke

i don't know if i'd want to try trails like that with the tires i have now. ameritrac generals are really soft crappy tires that don't like rocks. and it'd kill me to be somewhere like that with open diffs.
I aired down from 40 to 20 pis. All the jeep guy got to the top and than stopped so I didn't want to go flying up the hill and slam into them. They stopped right at the top, it was stupid. That toyota was half the size of my tuck and it had a locker in the rear. I never need a tug. Stacking rock to get me over the tall ones helped. My diffs kept on hitting. It wasent bad with open diffs and a/t's on. Yr tires look like highway skins.
