At a disadvantage with 33's....wow. Bigger tires does not mean more easy, it just means that you use what you have and that you can actually drive. Don't get caught up in the hype of "bigger tires"; that crap makes you lazy and you lose your edge. You have no "disadvantage" if you know how to drive your rig and, more importantly, knowing what it can and cannot do.
I would agree it sharpens skills and helps keep your edge. At some point though, larger tires will allow you to do obstacles that you wouldn't otherwise be able to do and will make it easier on the rig. There are so many reasons it helps: Approach angles, departure angles, breakover angles, more overall grip allowing better control, smoother ride (more tire cushion) and less force needed to climb the same obstacle. Of course there are downsides to going larger but I haven't scratched the surface on those with what I currently have, and I suppose that can be a good thing so far.
@@WestonsWanderings Agreed on all counts, but only if you own a Jeep or another rig built for that. Overland rigs normally do not have anything larger than a 33, mostly due to weight and gas mileage, the vehicle not being built for it, ect, ect. All I'm trying to say is that if you know your rig and it's limitations, you would never put yourself in a position that would even make you question getting something larger. Personally, if I wanted larger, I would build a rock crawling rig, but that is just my 2 cents. I run 33 pizza cutters on 17"wheels with a 2.5 lift and have zero need to replace the axle or do a body chop or any of that other nonsense and I can still get to absolutely everyplace that I want to go. Yes, armor, rock sliders, winches and all that should be standard just in case, but for me, I would never run bigger tires without considering just buying a whole new vehicle for it; one that was meant to have those size tires. Loved the vid btw, keep up the good work.
@@gabrielreyes8476 Appreciate it! And yea that makes sense. Kinda boils down to personal preference/needs. I plan on keeping this truck and doing more mods to it but also know it will probably become a dedicated offroad/overlanding rig at some point and I'll have a different daily driver. Not exactly a rock crawling machine but capable enough for any of Colorado's trails (Moab is a different story).
Wow you guys really killed it out there! You should do a video talking about all the stuff you’ve done to your truck!
