      That is a very interesting roll cage. Is that one of a NAS 90 or did you have that fabricated?

      Vbdave26, Congrats on the stage 1, very, very cool truck!

        The truck came with the cage, it was fabricated here locally.

        What I like the most about my Rovers? They've got more problems than I do...

          It looks like you have quite an interesting bunch of vehicles. Bronco, Thing and some woodie wagon.

            Sorry to beat a dead horse, but back to the "tire" discussion. Everyone says that 33x9.5x15 is close to the 235/85/16s that Rob suggested. Anyone have experience fitting this size tire on a stock rig?? Eventually I hoping to do a full overhaul with parabolics, but for the time being have stock suspension. THoughts?? Again thanks for the help.

              They will fit the truck. I have them on mine if that is any consolation. They rub on full articulation and if your wheel outset is too shallow then you will have reduced turning circle too.

              The question is, what wheels are you running. The stock 15 inch wheels are something like 6 maybe 6.5 inches wide right? You might have a hard time getting a tire place to install them unless you have different wheels.

                Tim, they are stock 15s not sure on the width of the rim. I just feel that the 235/75/15 wont fill the wheel well, but felt that the "33s" would be to big with no modification. Do you have any pics on your right. Stock suspension, correct? You think I will have difficulty turning the truck with the tires, or stress any other moving parts??? I don't want to have to upgrade things at this time just for bigger tires. Thanks for the help.

                            Perhaps this is the reason Brits like warm beer.....

                                I am liking this color more and more each time I look at it. May I ask the name of the color? Is it a white or silver? Thank you!
