What sliders are those? I like the width and the fact they run the entire length of the side. Plus the fill plate is really cool.

Thank you, they were built by my brother as a Christmas present. He certainly flexed his dimple die ability on this one. Full length is important, or so we've learned, as well as a kickout for planned pivots; too many of these are pretty tight to the body at the kickout.

Nice. He did a helluva job.

This one is my favorite and I'm going to copy yours.

One question... with the Ray10's did you go with a -10mm offset or -38mm offset? I'm trying to avoid as much cutting as possible with 285/70R17 and a 2.5 lift.

Thanks

Do you feel like it needs a regear at that size? Would you be comfortable towing a pair of jet skis behind it.

This isn't a Bronco, you will not have a problem towing jet skis with a gX on 285's..

35's no gears towed a flats boat from S. FL to N TN. no trouble (other than discovering a failing radiator)
37's no gears towed a 21 CC from S. FL to Central FL no trouble.

That’s more or less what I figured. I’m on on 35s now rehear right now but I live at 7k feet and it’s kind of a dog going through the mountain passes and I figured a trailer would make it miserable so I was considering downsizing some.

That is the ONLY caveat... elevation. 2 jet skis should be fine, it's when you get into a U-Haul trailer loaded with mom's furniture or campers or blarger boats that it really starts to suck. As Dan from GXOR says, don't be afraid to shift down when climbing or descending; it makes a huge difference.

I towed our camper and moved our family of 4 with a box trailer with 3.73 gears and 33s. It's doable, but 33s with 4.56 gears is one of the best upgrades I've ever done for my rig . I'd have no qualms towing jet skis with 3.73s and 33s.
