Enjoy them, and to save your front birfs when locked, I suggest a pair of Aisin hubs as a temporary fuse.

Sorry pal Aisin hubs are not a fuse until you have longs in. And even then they just strip our and ruin the longs thats why they are not warrantied unless you order the cromo hub gears.

Worked for Dan on his Avocado....thought that was the case.

Not normally the case. I would have thought Dan would have had Longs anyway. Very rare that a Aisin hub would go before a birf.

Now if we were talking crappy ass warn hubs I would say you are correct.

I think they will actually be 2 inches wider. The XML's are 13" and the XL is almost 11" wide. Same height, like you said. The thing with these military michelin's is they actually sit and measure 38.7" with the LC weight. That's because they are rated so high (weight wise) as opposed to Super Swampers.

I really want to find the XZL which is the same size as the XL but with more of a traditional mud terrain pattern, and a sick sidewall. Very rare in the U.S. but I saw some on Ebay a while back. He wanted over $1200 for them and the rims he had.

I have the 11.00R16 XZL's on my '80 and I am very happy with them. Not nearly as stiff as I thought they would be. Had to do a fair amount of trimming to get them on with only j's and mediums.

This was before he got longs, still on 35s. He busted an Aisin, and was running a Warn as replacement. So 80birf<Aisin hub?

I guess with that sand paper traction rock you could get those things to grip pretty well out there, but I would still cut them up as much as possible.

This is especially true for drive on hard packed snow. Sipe the hell out of them for snow.
