I like the tall and narrow 38.5x11 more than any other tire I've ran. I know the hole side traction thing, but my thought is that if its slick enough to slide sideways then it doesn't really matter what tire you have its going to load up and slide too. I've ran TSLs in the past and i'll take the boggers I have hands down. My 2 cents. By the way thanks for the comments on the fuel cell.

Well after a few weeks of testing and beating I figured I'd update the thread I got a few more things done (little things) so its more finished.
Got my air tank mounted and all hooked up again.(I never knew useful it was until I didn't have it)

Had some slick exhaust ran (thanks Larry)

And made me a little hood.....

 

[lbyota85]

Reworked the tie rod and drag link with FJ80 TREs (full hydro is inevitable but it'll do for now)

And last I got some seats Woo-Hoo!

Thats all for now.
