downgrade?

I'd vote for 31", even though I am a fan of pizza cutters. It is not just the diameter of tires that obviously rob power, but also the tire width that increases resistance. I like 33x9.5x15, but you still would have to re-gear to have good results.

I am a fan of pizza cutters as well, and the 33x12.50's that are on it now, although not pizza cutters, still look cool, but their downfalls are more unattractive to me. Tires dont cost me much as in my line of work things like that come with large discounts, so a tire swap isnt a very expensive venture. i would like to find a set of stock rubi wheels as i love their look and stance, but they arent really necessary. the steel wheels i have now will do fine. I will do some research on the "tummy tuck" and see if it is something i would like to do. Although i am sure i will go up to larger tires in the future and do all the appropriate mods to fit them, id like to just get my feet wet first before jumping in the deep end and see where my experiences guide me as i go. I am a rookie to offroading so i dont want to get in over my head too quick! :smiley_drive:
