I've joined the 31's club - Finally!

Post by Walt »

Got my new shoos Wednesday. 31x10.5x15 BFG AT's. And yes, I prefer the light side 8)


These pics are pretty bad, so I'll post more soon. Also, upon close inspection, It seems that my wheel wells are larger in the front than in the back. Absolutely no rubbing issues yet, except frame rub. The difference in traction is amazing. It's been raining off and on here, so I've been able to test them on wet and dry pavement, as well as offroad. Their mud performance can't compare to a true MT, but compared to the good years, they might as well be boggers :lol:

I didn't have much time when I took the pics, and the truck is also sitting on a ramp going into my install bay.

I will post better pics when I can swipe my wife's digital camera.

I would imagine it looked something like this-

Mark,

Did you not get center caps when you got your Daytonas or did they get damaged at some point?

The push bar in front is a WAAG sportster for a GMC Envoy. They are no longer in production. LATruck was selling them a while back for $99 shipped :D

Mark, what type of wheels are you running? And what backspacing? And you're running 31's right? Have you cut or bent anything to keep from rubbing?
