Now is the perfect time to cut the fenders open along the relief lines. Looks like about 3", It'll get rid of your bed rust too!
Radial tires are kind of sensitive to directional rotation. (thats why they want you to swap tires front to rear on radials instead of an x pattern). Hopefully you will have a directional idea which way those tires were rotationg to try and avoid a blowout from the belt seperation. Is the avatar picture of the Jep at the squeeze in Anza Borrego? Last time I was there I drove a 74 F-100 4x4 through it.

Yup thats the squeeze. My friend with an XJ on tons had never been there and was like oh I can just drive up on one side of it probly...ahhh probly not!
Haven't been out back to the squeeze in about 5 years has it changed a lot? Thanks for the tire advice the guy who gave them to me may be able to tell cause he knew the rig they came from. Better than me with a 50/50 chance i guess

I don't know, its been longer than that for me. When I went through with the pickup, I just nicked the back of the cab, barely noticable on the weld seam along the bottom. No other damage on a 74 F-100 4x4 with about a 2" lift and 32" BFG All Terrains.

Nice, that was a relatively stock rubicon with 33's. He had a dent in his windsield frame from the squeeze and I flatted out in the next canyon. These guys were rookie offroaders and had little trail time so I was the ring leader.
