You should switch to a set of 33 x 12.5 TSL's. I think they would solve a fair amount of the stuck issue. That truck is sweet and an SAS would be awesome too.

I have been LUCKY not to of snapped a d35 shaft with my open diff and WOT approaches. I am willing to bet once my d35 goes under my new rig with welded spiders the broken shafts are going to become a 1 beer job I will be swapping so many of them. I bet I break a d35 shaft once I get some 31 inch TSLs or similarly aggressive tires under the new rig.

They'll be grooved soon enough....annnnnd double beadlocks help make up for crappy tires.

Wow, that sucks. I average 2 solid days of wheelin a month, and have yet to screw many of the body panels up....rockers are a different story though. That'll take a lil more then a bit of elbow grease to polish out.

And no picture of the offending tree?

 

[Ranger44]

As long as you can still open the door right?

 

[compleckz]

was snow wheelin in a narrow section, was making slow forward progress, just letting all 4 tires do their thing.. then BAM truck shot left...

i didnt have any significant damage in the first 4 years of wheelin the truck, this last year has been slightly tougher on the body
