Yeah I've never even heard of that size. Lol

I wish they still made it though.

255 85 R16 is basically the same size

I can't go through a rim change at the moment. Lol I got a great deal on a 33x10.5R15 BFG A/T that hadn't even touched the pavement. I'm getting the other three next week. A 33x10.5 is close to a 255 85 anyways. Tomato, tomato; potato, potato.

Anyways, lets quick clouding his build with tire talk. He knows what he wants better than we do! Lol

Agreed, and a half inch isn't much

I appreciate all your inputs! All very interesting and keeps me thinking. Did not make it to pic n' Pull today. Got caught up rotor tilling my yard...Tomorrow is an exciting day. Going to Truck Feast in San Mateo. ARB and everyone else should be there. See what deals I can get on a lift and some tires. Also will be looking at a 2002 Landcruiser 100 series!!! Hopefully that goes well!

Scored a campershell for $20 off of CL. Picked it up yesterday morning. I have it all sanded right now. Paint cans are warming up in the sun as I type. Off to repaint it. More to come!

Just above Santa Rosa by lake sonoma there are lots of pigs. Haven't hunt up there. Mostly in Napa and down in Morgan Hill!

Like the camper shell! TenaciousTJ has my wheels turning for a softtopper. Have you tried sourcing a tailgate? I need one also.

Thanks! Yeah I saw those pics of the softopper, looks cool! I had one on my tundra and it worked well. At the local pick n pull there was a tailgate. I'll try and go there tomorrow or Friday and get it. It is red and looks like a hippie surfer owned the truck with all the "green peace, no war, peace signs, and Obama stickers" all over it. All will have to be removed then painted!

Put the topper away. Go buy the chinook!!

The Chinook is cool and all...be a shame to cut that truck up though.

Keep it simple, get a Wildernest!

Not sure if they made a 7' Flippac though...

edit...looks like they did make a 7' version

Ship it to me and find you another! California is full or truck pulls and part, but Alabama has none! Lol
