doubtful.

no, the front is stock. its the full width hp60 in the front and 10.25 in the back with no sheetmetal on the back that makes it look that way.

thanks for the replies.:smokin:

The ole original TSL! Nice, but Get in the groove!

I almost pulled the trigger on a set of those. I wouldn't run them without grooving them and I'll decided to stick with 39.5 Iroks for the price and weight. I ran Claws once and should have grooved them, very little lateral traction around the corners with those large flat lugs. Though those have got to better than claws for that sideways shit!

Mike - I think we could have it all together by this year's Fawl Crawl in October which has been my original goal all along, but I've got a lot of $$ to spend before that happens. It's gonna suck when the coilovers, gears, and lockers all hit at once! That may take longer than October to save the cash to get.

roller fairlead :laughing: you know what i meant :laughing:

i used a tire groover. it has a blade on it and you plug the groover up to an outlet and it gets hot quick. i did all 4 tires with one blade.
