Sounds like a sweet build but 37's seem small for the hardware involved. BTW there are two sets of 37X12.5x17" BFG krawlers for sale in the classifieds if you're looking for spares.

By how much are you going to increase the width of the body and what chassis are you using. 5.7lt + Sierra Chassis = pretzel

[quote="v840"]Maybe an old question but what happened to the 80?/quote]
The 80 project was a bit like Garths Suzuki Project (got rolling but never off the ground) ideas changed etc and well this is really happening, for once I can see myself 4wheelin again
Rick, good on ya, but don't blame ya thinking that way
It is a full chassis and Suk body, only tube will be in the cage and suspension hoops.
Only going 37" tyres, its just going to be an all round rig (just gonna have a lot of fun driving it)
Garths doing the work, I'll help and hinder where I can.
Will be approx 16" wider (8" bush wacker flares will take care of this)
It is a LWB, so what ever that is, we did discuss last night the front may be pushed out forward more.
The firewall is being moved so the back of the motor comes in line with the windscreen.
Using the sierra chassis, not convinced myself will be strong enough but Garth seems to have it under control.
Certainly is Garths old Suzuki
Always did have had a soft spot for the suzuki myself, but just had to be a little different than the rest, only way for that to happen was to give it a big heart
