....was thinking of getting a set of those for the van but i wanted one with the case to top mount on the dash as it has so much space......

....the idea for having gauges to keep them in line of sight, at least that is MHO. if not, i'll buy the volt separate and mount it in the guage cluster.....

but freak......which part you going to find a 22' rim going on a trail......

they could barely climb a pavement or run over a patch of grass.....

Hehehe....

wagon r yuh right...

Imagine Val trying to run thru the oil field roads on 20"s hehe

sweeks · Posted: Tue Dec 05, 2006 8:35 am Post subject:

For real... real 4x4s don't bling... they blast on and off road...

wagon r · Posted: Tue Dec 05, 2006 9:29 am Post subject:

....before val even reach 100m in the rim will mash up.....

not to mention, off road tyres act as part of the suspension and aids in overall traction by air-ing down.....

.....no way a 22' tyre will provide suspension cushioning as the sidewall are too stiff and forget air-ing down cause then it will be flat....
