I can't swallow the cost of my Trail Grapps that barely have 2k miles on them. If I could sell them for $1200 or so, which would never happen, I'd think about it. Maybe if I get an internship and pull in $15k this summer lol.

I want to! Especially if we can all crash at your place, I just don't know if I want to drop the several hundred dollars on gas. Hard enough to spend the $140 going to Turkey Drag last weekend and then Full Flex today. Round trip to Biloxi is over 1000 miles too, so that's 77 gallons of gas at an absolute minimum. I imagine it would cost close to $500+ all said and done. I'm basically thinking aloud and trying to justify 37s and Scrapin right now
I could understand that for sure. Cissy wasn't happy with getting rid of the 22" forces when they only had about 3k miles on them. But she got her cut so she's ok. Lol.

I got room for y'all! That is a long drive. And I could see why you may not make it. But I got room for y'all if you decide to go.

That switch at least made a little more sense considering that it was a full-on swap. At least you didn't have to buy new wheels and new tires. I'd swap with someone wanting to down size as long as they were Nittos/Toyos/Coopers with 75%+ tread cause mine still have like 95%.

Cool! I'd love to go and if I can get some of my buddies from here to go too, I might just come.

In other news, saw some 24x16 Forces on a new 250 at Full Flex today and I all I could think was "that moment when you're stretching 15.5s . . . " Thing had super crazy PMF coilover rear suspension and more ladder and trac bars with airbags than I could keep track of. Trussed axles, paint matched fiberglass, etc. too crazy.

I was going to buy them, but we just live so far apart and he had a local guy that was willing to buy them. That would've literal been perfect if I had gotten those though lol.

Yeah it did. I was fixin to order 37's for the 22's anyways, so when I found that setup, it was a win-win situation.

Yeah I think I've seen pics of that truck. Crazy. It's impossible to keep up with those kinda guys. Mad props for some sick builds, though

I've been blessed with a large garage. Even with the 37's, I've got about 6-8" of room. So the 38's will be no problem.

I'm jealous. I barely make it in mine with a 2" level.

No respect, just extreme hatred from deep-rooted jealous

Just park it outside like the truck that it is. Mine's never spent a day of its life in a garage haha. Partially cause it barely fit even when stock.
