Heading to Big Bend State park this weekend. Fully understand how the gas limitation is going to be a player! Christmas Mountain is pretty awesome, for sure.

I need some wisdom on tire size from the forum. I’ve got 33’ tires on 17s and OME lift. I’m deciding whether to go to 34s or 35s (or stay put with 33s). I’m told that if I go 35s I’m going to need to regear, get new CV joints. Thoughts?
98 LC100: OME lift / King Shocks / Dissent front & rear bumpers / Come Up 12.5 Winch / ARB Air Compressor / ARB Real Air Locker / Prinsu Rack / Baja Designs Lights / Only 188k Miles

I've been running 35s for two years with no significant detrimental impact to CVs. I definitely would benefit from regearing the transfer case (10% overdrive) and that's in the works. I haven't seen a huge benefit from the 35s, to be honest, other than I love the way they look. Trailwise, I was doing just fine with the 33s that I ran for 10+ years before that.
I assume effort will significantly increase in terms of trimming, cutting, making room.
In terms of regearing, yeah. You’ll end up with the wrong speed and therefore I guess also with wrong mileage.
Due to added weight (and wider tire depending on what you go for) fuel consumption will likely go up.
But: driving offroad will be sweet! Bigger tires, more fun
they’ll roll over smaller stuff better.
Like on a MTB: more or less everybody moved away from 26” to 27.5 or even 29 for added comfort in driving (on cost of agility)

Thanks for the great feedback!
Because one LC is never enough.
Added to the family stable with this 98 LC

Absolute favorite color for an early 100. The newer wheels look good too!
With your setup, 35s will surely compliment the overall look. Once you got the tires on, there are a few ways to regear, one is through the third member R&P gears, or through your t-case or lastly the most extreme (custom order but doable) - portal IFS axles.
This is my second favorite colored 100. Very nice score!
4P3 Metallic Desert Bronze in da house!
Not much of us around...
Man, those 33's look perfect though...
New wheels for for the LC. Still need to make adjustments to the front end, some rubbing going on.
Thanks to a diesel heater I was able to make a late February trip to northern Wisconsin. The truck rolled 207k on this trip and never misses a beat!
Nice, big vestibule on the RTT! Roomy!
