    Talking Up Up And Away!

    I just picked up the keys to our new house! w00t!

    The best part is, my garage has AT LEAST 6-8"s more clearance than my current garage, even with my roof rack and spare on top, which means.......

    I'M LIFTING!



    It might not look like it in the photos, but the space is there!!!





    BFG M/Ts on deck for Moab!

    CONGRATS dude!

    That must be such a great feeling. I hope to own one of these next couple of years myself.

    Yeah, we are stoked. We saved and saved and hunted and hunted, and took the plunge at the best time. Needless to say, I'm gonna be broke for the next 12 months, but hell, I don't have to save for a house anymore!!!

    All that is TBD of course. I will probably do a lift like the one Clint has, which I think is about 2"s. Then I will see if I can fit 265s underneath, I don't know if I can fit 285s, but 265s should be fine. And yes, BFG M/Ts are my choice, hopefully, I can get the new style.

    Damn, I got my work cut out for me, and I better get my credit card warmed up.

    I just threw in the 912's and fit 32"s so you should be able to do the same with your lesser offset... if you can stand the loss in performance anyway!

    I don't necissarily mind the loss of pick up per se, but fuel efficency loss will be annoying, and I am worried about the whole CV boot issue as well, which I'm sure will rear its ugly head shortly after I go up...

    32s end up being 265s or 285s????

    'stead of warming it up, do yourself a BIG favor, cut it up. Double up on those mortgage payments...one toward principal only. You'll be shocked how quickly you build equity. More fun to spend like a sailor, when you got it to spend without the 18 or 20% hit. Congrats....you now get to vote in a Jeffersonian Democracy

    Yeah, I know. I'm careful these days. After coming out from 20k+ in cc debt, I will never dive that deep again. My buy-now, pay-later days are history, for the most part....
