I was wondering if 31's were okay for some moderate to heavy stuff until I got 33's? I'll send pics soon to see if anyone knows the trail. Oh, and if anyone's in the Big Bear area, I'm here until thursday-- so let's fo wheelin'!!

if your going to 33s why not put up some more cash and go to 35s, it will make a big difference. i did some offroading with the 31s when i had them and they did pretty well, though the terrain wasnt too tough. but with the 35s, huge diference.

thanks for your comments guys, glad to hear that you liked the pics - BTW, they are shot on Ilford FP4+ 120-size rolls (B&W, medium format) - that's why it took me a while yesterday to post images; I had to process first, then scan the film. I had the 645ProTL with me, as well as old 6x6 Yashica. No off-roading today; after I'll clean the car I'll will be in the darkroom and print... here is one more from yesterday - it is a crop from 6x6 frame.

Those picks make me miss that area, (used to be in Palm Desert, now stuck in Kansas) great work with the black and white
