Leslie, can you post some pictures of the trimming you had to do?
I'm considering the same tires.
Thanks

I think Leslie just did the old "lift & tuck" with that inner bottom fender lip...

nice tires, Leslie

Daniel,

I have the same tires that you can install to see how they do!

Leslie Lesliovich,

first, no, right rear is not in the air - it was in sand, before i put the locker in.
second, yes, the left front dug itself a little hole - which indicates even more articulation!

here, another treat for you -

my disco (and four others i've seen in this spot) did exactly the same.

my jeep hasn't lifted a tire.

if you have generous bandwidth, check this crap -

Daniel,

Blue's mostly right... we bent back the vertical part of the inner wheelwell to clear the lugs. The only part that we trimmed was on the lower part along the underside of the rear quarterpanel.




Peter,
Nice vid! I'm ready for snow!!!


Blue,

I love these things!


Forgive the dirty Rover....

A little closer on the tread...




And from the side...




Peter,
I love having a T3 line in the office....

Daniel,

Went back out to the Disco, and pulled out the piece that we cut off of that side (I'm gonna make the wife a pair of earrings out of them! )

Here's a pic for ya to see exactly how much was cut off... FYI the knife-blade is 3".




Hope that helps,
