Them there tires look downright delicious. You'll have fun with those. I hope your fenderwells are as big! What size are they?

Where did you get them? They look new or else VERY lightly used. It can be suprising what the military calls surplus tires sometimes. Whenever I was looking trough a few military surplus tire yards there were tires there that still had rubber hair on the treads. I am looking for some good 395/85R20 XML's. Did you get a really good deal on them? If you don't want to discuss price on the BB, can you PM me?


Thanks,
Sean

I cut every other lug out of mine. They measure almost 54" tall on stock Deuce rims. I snapped both rear axle shafts on my rockwells last time out. Mine work great in the mud and even flex the sidewalls a little at 2psi!!:D

I was trying to pull a big Ford out of a serious hole and started hopping. Ive never broke a Rockwell before so I just stayed in it. So now I know better. One shaft twisted and the other broke clean. The one that twisted swelled up and got real hot in the spindle (front steering axle in the rear) and when I parked it locked up tight as hell. When I tried to put it on the trailer the next morning the shaft broke again about an inch further in!! I used some spare part from a friend to put it all back together but Im going to have to use a press to get the piece of shaft out of the one I took off!
