A few pics from 2001...

Courtesy of Alan Kuper. I was clearing off the desk and came across a screensaver CD that Kupe put together from a few trips in 2001. You'll get a kick out of how "small" the rigs are...

Is that your 40 with the pizza cutters on it?



Cool pics!

 

[trainrech]

Yep, a few of us ran those "back in the day".

I kinda like that look. Was considering 255/85/16's for the 80 to give it that "Hyena" look. Still might go that route on my next set of tires.

Definitely will add excitement to the off-camber runs! Just ask Chris!

Yeah, you may want to give some thought to that. You are probably 1700 lbs heavier and those pizza cutters have a tendency to squash nicely.

255's? Do you have a lift? I thought they put those on ricers?

255/85/16's are a 33" only skinnier. There's a couple of 80's running them, and a few 100's too.

I would probably pull the flares and add some wheel spacers, at least 1/2".

I just saw the 315, didn't factor in the 85. I'm running the Nitto Terra Grappler 315's on the LX, and a smaller set on the Tundra.

What ? So now I have a ricer?
