Don't know about going quite that big, the turning radius on these buggers is bad enough as is. But I want to put perhaps 35's on mine.

NICE! You just can't beat old iron on big tires.

Did you see the owner wheel it at all?

No, but he used body lift, lift springs in front, and blocks in the rear.

He was driving from course to course on the mild trails (requires 4 wheel drive). It's not really setup for hardcore trails (d44 in front).

I thought it was pretty cool though.

are you talking about the wheeling ranch in Nocona? If so I was there and saw that rig as well.

Nothing out of the ordinary then. :(

I was kind of hoping to see someone do some trick suspension work underneath one of those beasts.

Every lifted IH Fullsize I've ever personlly seen has been exactly that, or some really horrifying bootie-fab.

Well sorta, I had to go back to the H.E.B. area. See you Wed. to pick up those 36s.
