Bubba Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 The Xterrains do a great job. I like them better than anything I've ever wheeled with. Those being BFG mud terrains, BFG allterrains, and toyo M/Ts. They grip like nobodys business. What took me so long to join? I just barely heard about all ya'all... I'll get rid if the D35 once I snap a couple axles. (Aint broke one yet. 8)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oizarod115 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 WOOOHOO! thats one badass truck man. love it. only thing i would add would be some black JEEP on the tailgate from spence at http://www.jeepsticker.com I'm pretty sure the AW4 is the difference between breaking and not breaking a d35 we wheeled one on 33's for the longest time with a 4.0 aw4 (never broke, just replaced it with a 44) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepcoMJ Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I blew up a dana 35 with a 2.8, then blew it up again with a 3800 in the truck. second time was easier :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubba Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 Thanks ya'all. As to how heavy the x-terrains are, I guess that now that I think about it they are pretty heavy. It don't bother me none at all though.\ Edit: The reflective black jeep decal sounds pretty cool. Might buy it. Definately going to buy the "Easy to be a truck, But hard to be a Jeep" Sticker. Get it in yellow. Put it across the back window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89eliminator Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 that thing looks tough! looks like you have more than one toy in that garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 Oh, the jeep in the back ground is my dad's. I was using his garage for the build up. The boat he is storing for a freind, same with the jet ski's. I need you honest opinions. What do you think of the rims? Do they look ok on my truck?

89eliminator Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I have always said that whether it be an ATV or a truck, if it was yellow the first thing that i would do would be putting black rims on it. in my opinion the coolest looking vehicle is yellow with black rims.
