UPS showed up yesterday........ YAHOOOO

bigger you go less power you have,

clayboy - if you already have a big tire set up on one - I suggest keeping the other at 25's... and teh bighorn is my favorite all around tire!!

and yes Chris - 2+5 and 5+2 is one of the most common set ups - its what I run on my beadlocks and I love it.... (my steelies for 'round the house are stock offset)

YOU WILL GET MUDDY!! No question about it. Fender fares should help!

I would be careful though with 27's and a lift (though a lift is almost necessary w/ 27's) BUT IT WILL PUT EXTRA STRAIN ON THE BOOTS AND AXELS!! Yes, it is a little better with an 07 or 08 (they did do some minor changes vs previous years), but IT WILL PUT MORE STRESS ON THEM - no question. Will it rip first ride - no - but any lifts or larger tires or even wider offsets does put more stress on the drive train.... IMO though, the pros outweigh the cons. Just no, you may not het oyur shop to warranty anything that happens in that area due to the 27's and lift...thats the biggest issue, but most shops overlook it.

gunny is right though - bigger is slower....just plain physics - takes mroe energy to turn them hogs.... just depend on the riding you do.

Chris - I used to live in Marietta (went to Walton HS then Etowah in Cherokee County) - where you riding down there? I still have a ton of friends there and we've been looking for someplace close to them to ride.

rcmass , I dont have a clue anymore.....
we use to ride at a place called 1000 acers off 6's road.
but thay turned it into some dame wildlife sancuary....
and all our other places have now been sold to build houses.
honistly there is no where here anymore..... i been rideing around my house. i only have 2 acers.
gets really small with a rhino. soon as i get things like i want ,
i am just going to come ride with yall. :D
I doubt i will make the july trip. between rhino and my other
bills, this has been about a $17000 dollar month.....
so i got to chill a bit. but i cant wait to get out in the woods.......

Chris, time to slow down spending the money on the mod's and start spending a little on riding. Kinda like going to Windrock on the 26th with us.

Marty , you are 100% correct , there is nothing i want more.
but in my Yukon its 3 hours drive , i will have to use my car trailer. as thats all i have now. with gas + motel and food , the buget is just
getting tight for this month. i wont be doing any more mods this month.
the cost of the rhino and other mods wore me out this month, remember i paid
cash for all this mess. so it kinda hit the pocket hard this month.
I would really love to go with you guys. i just need to calm down for a bit.
i will surly make the next ride......

Chris,

The Rhino looks great. It would be nice if you could make it to Windrock. The next ride might be further away.

I have the same tires as you. Except mine are 26" tall. Trust me....... fender flares and mud guard.
