I introduced myself in the chit chat section today. Looks like I have found the right forum, I am happy to be part of the Sweptline internet community!
I need to do a few thing to this truck and need some advice and opinions. First thing I need to do is get the big super swampers off of it. It does better than I expected dragging them along, but It looks like someone added longer bolts to the steering stops to keep them from hitting the frame or leafs.
The fronts are 35x12.5x15 and the rears are 35x14.5x15. My current idea is to buy some steel 17" wheels so I can down cycle tires from my Jeep onto the power wagon. I currently have 35x12.5x17 Tread Wright Mud Claws on the Jeep that are about 60% tread left. The Jeep is my daily driver and the Power Wagon wont see nearly as many miles as the Jeep. I want to throw some BFG All Terrains on my Jeep because I have some expedition type travel planned in it and the Mud Terrains kind of suck driving 6 hours a day on. I measured, and my 35" mud terrains measure 33.5" and are only 11" wide vs. 35" and 13" for the front Super Swampers.
What is the best size wheel and tire? Should I just forget being able to share tires between the Jeep and the PW? Suggestions? Pics of your rigs and the tire/wheel size would be apreciated.
