She's right you know! You may need to help out one of those "other" brands.

What???? You figure how much?

 

[moparornocar]

Doing the math now, but thinking 7". Still trying to figure out the mid brace though.

 

[CumminsPusher]

The mid brace will be the problem. It's 100% doable just need some "adjustments" that's cool though. Holy crap that's low!

Mama is right you do need to take safety precautions example more agressive tires so you don't slide off the trail, a winch so you don't get stuck in a medical emergency, plenty of lights in case you get lost in the woods and the rescue helicopter can find you, a lift kit so you don't get hung on a rock and flip, a loud stereo to scare off bears. The safety list is endless. Lol

Any chance you'd be willing to share a pic of what you did with yours?

And apparently a lowered roof so this doesn't ever happen

I didn't have to get into that a ton. I had to reshape the upper round just a bit and grind bottom welds off of the side reinforcements then weld back up. 4 1/2 was really cutting it in there but that's what I measured for good clearance on us. It would have been easier just a bit shy. At 7 you'll have to cut lower crossbars out and reposition them a little but not bad.

Good deal. I'll be sure to post up pics of the progress.

I've actually been looking at options for a 14" light truck tire. There are very few but they do exist. We do a lot if gravel, hard pack and pavement. The bighorns sound like a locomotive on blacktop

I'm actually in that same boat. I will be doing that for next spring! I'd like them balanced and the whole nine so if you find something please get back to me. I was even thinking of a heavy ply snow tire

Couldn't find a lowrider Honda, so here ya go. Lol

 

[moparornocar]

Bfg still makes a 14" all terrain t/a I believe. Sizes will be terribly limited though. I don't want to ditch the factory wheels. I like them better than most aftermarket offerings.

 

[moparornocar]

Snow tires... Good thought!

 

[CumminsPusher]

For about 3 months we just don't need that much aggressiveness. The dirt is so hard pack (clay mainly) that even the technical stuff were usually in 2lok. So I figured with less tires maybe 4wd. But anywhere else god it would be smooth at 60!
