expense of lifting it, I'm not going to accept anything less than 33" tires.
You can get 33s on a Samurai with a 4" lift, fer cryin out loud. >>
Amen, brother! Its 33's fer me too. I like the full look of the BFG MTs in
12.5's, this is what most of the other 4x4 rigs are using locally on the
trails and they love 'em. Even the freakin' Sammy's!
I've already started down the long, lonely, expensive road of making a
trailworthy Dak, I'm gonna do it right, dammit! I guess a GENII Dak with the
4" Trailmaster lift and 2" Body lift won't be that bad after all, thinking
back to the TREAD LIGHTLY Dak, that had what appears to be a 4" Suspension
and a 3" Body lift, and it looks REALLY damn good. It's just the numbers that
make me nervous, SIX TOTAL INCHES of lift!
I think with the 33's it'll look natural though.
My shocks are shot to hell and my 30" BFGs are down to the last six months of
tread life, so I'm really thinking soon will be an opportune time to lift it!
