JONATHAN MURPHREE
Test Drive
Hey I am new here but I have been lurking for awhile. I have a new to me 02 that I am building up for a primarly moderate dedicated off road rig. I have the parts ordered for the PML, rear springs, rear sway delete and a 2 inch body lift. The first thing I would really like to do is get some kind of protection for the front of the undercarriage (front bumper to trans maybe gas tank if I have enough material) no rock crawling for me but a very rocky area. I couldn't find anything on home made skids. Has any one done this? Doesnt seem like it would be too hard I was thinking a 4x8 sheet of 3/16 and just using whatevers left over after the rear bumper.
Question 2 somewhat off topic it sounds like lots of people have fit 33 by about 11's with stock rims with some cutting (not afraid of doing that just needs to stay nice enough they won't call the police when I roll through nice neighborhoods), but I dont know how much these guys are doing serious offloading with rocks, so I wonder if at full flex I will have issues? I would like the extra height over my 31's but maybe 32's would be safer.
