New tires on the troop

Well, they are on. During street driving, there is absolutley no rubbing. I tried to stuff tires a bit on a pile of concrete, but did not get much articulation. Anyway, I can say that 33x12.5/15 mounted on honeycombs fit fine for street travel. I cannot comment on tire wear or trail rubbing.

Looking good there! :cool:

Have you done a body lift to fit those tyres? Do the tyres now sit outside the guards?

No body lift, but I do have a 4" lift in rear and front t-bars adjsuted 3". Also, I'm runnning 15x7 amgo rims that have reduced backs spacing (4" vs 5.5" for trooper 16x7 rims). I have found an area where tires rub. During full lockup of steering, tires rub bottom of fender well near firewall. I think a hammer will fix issue.

Here's a pic of tire of track w/ this setup.
