    New meats!

    Saw a great post from RiffRaff on a rave about the General Grabbers and saw his link to the ProComp A/T's. The stock Nitto passenger tires weren't cutting it since nearly bald and just gawd awful wheel well gappage.

    I saw the promotion at 4WheelParts for a 4 for price of 3 deal and couldn't help myself. Took everyone's advice and ordered 285/60/18's. I took a simple hacksaw to a sliver(ok a few slivers) of cladding and called it good.

    The boys at the store had a hard time with me getting 33's (as they called em)... practically didn't believe me. None of them had ever heard of the VX... They did a test fit in the front and showed about a 1.5 inch gap to the inside rear of the wheel well corner. The front had NO clearance issues. Prolly shouldn't have whacked the cladding but you can't even see what I did.

    Any way, I still had to give several verbal OK's to mount em up. They look great and ride SO much better than before. Took it up to Kirkwood in the Tahoe Mts and had a ball in the twisties on 88. I had no idea this would be this much fun on Mtn roads. Got complements everytime we stopped. Not a single hiccup with the new VX. Whoo Hooo!
