Well it doesn't sound like it was a very nice fit if the tires had to "modify" the fenders. :P What vehicle? I'd rather not rub AT ALL when off-road and 35's WILL rub without cutting. Even if you have a 24" lift, when the tires tuck, they will rub.

That's cause we only took the camera out with the wife. The week before snow had just melted, and every trail was boggy. Plenty of time water can over the hood when you hit it. Air box is at stock location so I'm not floating the thing. The only spot you can tell is black is the roof.

The reason I backed off the water hole is the wife. Say I'm whipped I don't care, I wasn;t going to make her drive or get wet will I winched. And this is the second time I took it out. I'm new to this.

5/8" plate for bumper mounts?!?!?! the mounts must weigh more than the bumper and all the lights combined! What's with the overkill?

They actually only put down about 140-150whp on average. But 190lb-ft of torque usually. And unlike a 1.6 honda single cam, opening up the intake and exhaust can yield actual noticeable gains.

That, and the ability to stroke them to 4.7L and make over 350lb-ft of torque is nice too.

I need some better places to wheel! There's a few place a little north and south of me, but I'm caught in famer flat land territory.

5/8", I'ts called "Dad just finished converting his read mounted snowblower to a front mount (good old farmer style (15x stronger then it needs to be!) for his snowremoval business and had left over scrap" so all the materials were free except for the d-rings and Grd 8 hardware.
