ya take some good pics...and it would be even killer if you can take pics of the actual process of changing out the gears in the front. there are soooo many poeple who inquire about how hard it is to do such. if you could document that for us and we can make a web page about it and show people what is all involved, that would be stellar. thanks :D

I waited 39 days for the TM lift to get shipped. Now I have to wait till next wed. to get the install done. Then I will have to wait 2 days for that. Why 31s and not 32/11.5/15 or 31/12.5/15? Sounds nice.

have you measured your fenders latley? they are 31" wide :wink:

you can go 32's with that 5" lift, but be prepared to cut some

even with stock rims, i would go 32's. paul has talk about running 32x10.5 tires on his stock rims.

the thinner the tire the better. i you can find a good mud terrian tire in that size, that is going to be the best size for the s-10.
