Since my rig hasn't sold yet, I don't see any point of giving it away.(low ball offers) I am probably going to keep it. So that leaves me wanting tires. I'm running 39.5 TSL's now, and wanted to try something different this time. I want the 40" LTB, but Interco isn't making them yet, so that doesn't leave much. That leaves an Irok or Bogger unless I use a different brand. Any ideas?

Sorry it didn't sell like you hoped, but I am glad you're keeping it. Do like that rig...
I love my LTBs. You can't find a set of 40s anywhere? And no idea when you could?
4WP lists them as available? http://www.4wheelparts.com/Tires/16-..._pn=SSTLTB-204Last edited by WrenchMonkey; 02-05-2014, 06:59 PM.DIRTY DEEDS, DONE DIRT CHEAP

If you can't find LTB's, Boggers would be my next choice. iroks would be behind other brands

Anyone here ever tried that? I wish I could fit 42's in, but I would have to link the front and push the axle forward to get them to fit.
I ran cut boggers rear/ TSL's front for a while on my old XJ and loved it. great combo IMO. TSL's helped greatly with steering issues many complain about with boggers.
Currently running TN/Aetna cut TSL's and IMO are almost as good but i am afraid of cutting a rear with how Open they are in the middle. would require a TON of time to cut them however.
Hopefully i can make a run with you all this year, i would be another Fullsize in the mix.beat up rusted out k5

I found a place that shows the LTB's are backordered till mid April. http://interco.factoryoutletstore.co...8,80633&page=1
I was doing some measuring to see if I could fit 42's up front, and the leaf springs pins aren't centered. They are offset about 3". If I flipped them around I could probably fit 42's in. That would give me a 120" wheelbase, which I really don't want. So I'm back to 40's. An 18" bogger in the rear is freakishly large to me. Sure wish they were 15" like the TSL. It looks like I either go down to a 38.5 SX, stay the 39.5 TSL, or use the 40" LTB.
I would like to know why Interco's tire sizes are all over the place...

I'll get more tire flex, but wouldn't it make them more susceptible to slicing? According to that website, they would be available mid March.

I'm not sure what to get. Most of the tires I want they don't sell right now. Who knows how long it will be before Interco makes the tires I want.
I might have to go with the TSL and Bogger combo. If I do the 42" TSL up front, and the 42.5 Bogger out back, what will that extra 1/2" do to the drivetrain if anything? Thinking about going back with the 39.5s, but I hate the Bogger being 18" wide. Anyone know if you can put an 18" tire on a 10" rim?
