Here are pics of my Sunset Orange H2 with Adventure Package. Also includes a Safari Rack including tire mount. Just for the record this rack was built by me and my father at my house. I am driving it over to Skyjacker suspensions in the morning to have it lifted. We are putting a 5.5 inch lift and 40" Goodyear MTR's. I will post the truck on Wednesday or Thursday after we have finished it.

Now that's cool. I can't wait to see the pics.

Those are 40x13.50's, right? Those are some BIG Goodyears!

I wouldn't say you're ruining this vehicle, but I think "jacked up" is an appropriate term. Among other things, don't you think this will slightly degrade your side slope performance?

Possibly, but I understand that LA is pretty flat. Plus, the tres are wider than stock, and he can increase his track even more by running wheels with less backspacing.

And you'd be surprised how far a vehicle will lean over before tipping.

Then again, he never said he was going to take it offroad in the first place.

Actually the system they are working on is as, if not more, stable than the existing one. The idea is the wheels and tires being changed with it. Much bigger tires, massive stability. I am hoping to pick it up this afternoon. I will get pictures and specs out in the morning.

Dustin:

I'm eagerly awaiting your "after" photos. 40" Good Years you say? Woohoo, you'll be the king of the swamps down there in Louisiana.

I bet it's going look great sitting on those 40's. Most off-roaders around have either and 4" or 6" suspension lifts and some with body 2" and 3" lifts included. Nice mod.

Well I thought I would have it back today.
The custom wheels did not come in though.
They promised that they had been shipped and that I woulod have them tomorrow.
I sure hope so.
I am really missing my truck.
I think the guys at Skyjacker are having fun with it though.
