Builds ROTW Alkaline747Trio (2 Viewers)

I noticed throughout your post, your 80 has sat on three(3) different sets of wheels. Your first post shows the rig w/ OEM '92 wheels, then you post about your new purchase of, US Wheel Modular 94s. You ran those for a while then went back to '92 OEM. Any reason why you have been going back-and-forth? Do you not like the look/performance of the US Wheels?

15" and 16" rims...I bought the US Wheels for future proofing (rear FF) and to take advantage of the killer deal on some 285s. The 285s wore out and were too small, so I bought the 35" swampers. The swampers are/were a great trail tire, but weren't cutting it on road. I had the 15" factory wheels so I got a set of 33x12.50 BFG ATs for cheap to run on the road and in the easy stuff offroad. I am now saving to purchase a set of 38.5x11r16 Boggers, which will be run on the Modulars.
