I'd say they are at least another 2 inches on the 32's but they dont look like hitting on much stuff ATM.

Hahaha - i thought you were picking them up saturday morning...
Now you get to go through the hassle of pumping them up whenever you want to drive on them
It looks to me like there is ample room in your wheel well for another few inches of rubber too big steve - perhaps a Q78 sized piece of rubber even

Just around the bead - one day i'll chase it down and fit it
There's also some mud in one of the valve stems that makes it leak too i think...
The car normally only gets driven to and from trips so i don't mind pumping up the tyres before every outing, then pumping them up again when the day is finished to get back home again...

Have you guys down under found an inexspensive source for some Jeep Bushwacker Fender Flares? That is basically what I have. They are the Trail Tough pre cut flares. They are GREAT! I run a 33x13.5 Swampers.
If you notice the rear tyre stuffed up in the fender well, this flare works really well. The rims I use are 2" Back spaced rims.
Hope this info helps those of you that are thinking about going Bushwacker style.

Side by side the 34 swamper was the complete depth of the tread and a bit taller than the 32 mtr... Approximately 2" taller.

Apparently they leeked even more than usual when big steve had them - in fact he popped them off the inside bead twice... I would suggest that it had something to do with the extra mass of the vehicle... you know - with the hard top and all the gear in the back

Yes Robbie, that's right. Infact, it's exactly what i was insinuating. That's what the little '
' meant... It was a joke.
