Looking for the end of the road...
I read a couple posts saying it's not very abrasive and might become slick when wet. So I don't think it will help a ton for non-slip surface on the sliders.

Thanks for the feedback, I think I'll just be going with Nick's rattlecan method for the sliders
Sliders are the best protection you will ever buy...works equally as well in parking lots as it does on trail. Tires, sliders always first thing I do on every rig....

sliders. In the one trail ride I did, it saved my 100 a few times. Maybe that was the lines i took though
snorkel looks good, I'm holding off on that for a while. I have the itch for lightforce 240's
Looks like I'll be going with sliders next
Late to the party but, get sliders. Ever watch the Snorks when you were a kid? YouTube - The Snorks Intro

finally got some 305's on the hundy. I'll take pics tomorrow. Need advice on mounting quick fists.
Would drilling the side of my OEM roof rack work for holding a shovel with a quickfist. Shovel on one side, hi-lift on the other. Or should I mount the hi lift to the TJM using a quickfist?

305's are on. No issues with rubbing on the fender wells, I thought they would be too wide, guess I was wrong.
this summer upgrades:
305 Nitto TG's, safari snorkel, depo clear corners

Have checked for any rubbing with the wheels turned and suspension compressed?

fully turned, yes, no rubbing at all! Not yet checked at full compression, havent had a chance to take it off road!
The 305's look good.
As far as using the quickfists for your hi-lift on your roof rack, it might be a PITA to hold the hi-lift with one hand and strap the quickfist with the other, I don't know, maybe someone has done this...
Would probably work with the shovel, just make sure it is tight so the shovel doesn't rest on the body. I had to cut the side of my shovel using a Frontrunner RR and their accessories because it was too close to the body-no big deal.

These should work to hold your hi-lift on your stock rack.

I think I'll just use these! Thanks!
Also, I seemed to have lost some power when trying to accelerate to pass people on the freeway. Is this normal for a 33" tire change?
yes, we have all been there when going up tire sizes. It's more rolling resistance.
Full Compression

You may run into a bit of rub when you go to full compression. In the pic below, I had my wife feel the amount of gap I had which she measured as 1.5 fingers (subjective, i know) of room between the top of my tire to the wheel well. This is with 285's.
Tires look good though!

Saw this in another forum, think truck is south of the border.
See they are into red accents also, here I thought it was just you.
