Did I just get flamed? Did I? I just wanna know, 'cause if I just got flamed, there will be a retaliatory effort on my behalf. I mean it, too. I'll stop being nice to Lynne, you'll see [-(

I run 30" BFGs with my Overland lift (2") with no real problems. I did have to round out the front wheel well in different areas, but no one would be able to tell where unless they had another Astro sitting there to compare. It came out really nice. They do rub the swap bar on full turns, but hasn't been a hazard of any kind.
Off road, it's the same. However, I've really only hit fire roads and the like. No real 4x4ing.

LOL exactly!

We know better than to high centre. Hey peter the trick is to NOT drive through the ruts but to put a tire down the middle and one off to the side. Jeeze man I have literally driven my RWD through worse. Figures a quebecer would make the rest of us look bad. [-X

Remember peter. If you can see the grove in the centre where the last guy dragged his diff through then your probably not going to make in the ruts unless your driving something with bigger tires than his.

I will agree on one thing tho. After that kinda embarrassment I would have installed a 502 as well.

Also I remember other pictures of that incident somewhere liek the part with dean pulling him out lol and lockdoc with his head in a freezer ?
